<strong>and</strong> st<strong>and</strong>ing committee shall be printed together at the end of its report<br />
before they may be considered by the Convention. In case any agency shall<br />
be unable to comply with this requirement, its recommendation shall be printed<br />
in the Convention Bulletin before consideration <strong>and</strong> action by the Convention,<br />
15. Publicity <strong>and</strong> Press Representative: The boards, institutions, <strong>and</strong> spe<br />
committees dealing with matters of general importance <strong>and</strong> interest shall have<br />

Convention while in session.<br />
16. Closing of Books: The boards, institutions, <strong>and</strong> agencies of the Convention<br />

application with the Secretary before the annual meeting of the Convention,<br />
stating the number of Baptists in the churches which desire co-operative relations<br />
<strong>and</strong> the amount of money given to the work of the Convention during<br />
the preceding year. The application shall be referred to a committee of one<br />
from each co-operating state who shall investigate all matters pertaining to<br />
the request <strong>and</strong> make report to the next annual meeting for its action. When<br />
groups so received have 25,000 members in their churches, they shall be represented<br />
by members on boards <strong>and</strong> the Executive Committee.<br />
18. Only Recommendations Binding: Nothing contained in reports to the<br />
Convention shall be construed as an action of the Convention except the recommendations<br />
which are definitely listed <strong>and</strong> adopted by the Convention.<br />
19. Limitations: One-third of the time for consideration of all reports b<br />
the Convention shall be reserved for discussion from the floor.<br />

shall be required to comply with the letter <strong>and</strong> spirit of the Constitution<br />

incorporated, <strong>and</strong> nothing herein contained shall be construed to require anv<br />
such incorporated agency to act <strong>and</strong> carry on its affairs in conflict with the law<br />
of the state of its incorporation. In case any action of any agency of the<br />
Convention is found to be a violation of the law of the state of its incorporation,<br />
said action shall be reported by that agency to the Convention for appropriate<br />
action.<br />
21. Amendments: The By-Laws may be altered by a two-thirds majority<br />

or its Executive Committee; the Executive Committee to act only in cases that<br />
require prompt action.<br />
In order to obtain the approval of the Convention or its Executive Commit<br />

X. Contingent Reserves<br />
Each chartered agency of this Convention shall set up as soon as possible<br />

SOUTHERN BAPTIST FOUNDATION<br />
We are aware of the responsibility involved in the assignment given this<br />
Committee. We have, however, approached our task conscious of the fact that<br />

SOUTHERN BAPTISTS<br />
pause in the midst of the 1946 Session of the Convention, this the fifteenth<br />
of May, in Miami, Florida, to pay grateful tribute to<br />
AUSTIN CROUCH<br />
. Preacher—Author—Statesman<br />
one of the cherished leaders of our beloved denomination in this generation,<br />
whose wise <strong>and</strong> courageous ministry as Executive Secretary of the Executive<br />
Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention, from 1927 to 1946, provides<br />
another glorious chapter in the saga of Christian history.<br />
Born in Carrollton, Missouri, July 13, 1870, <strong>and</strong> graduated from Baylor University in 1899, he gave<br />
himself to the Christian ministry in an ab<strong>and</strong>on which inspires blessed memory in countless hearts<br />
in Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, Tennessee <strong>and</strong> Arkansas. His service with the Home Mission<br />
Board <strong>and</strong> the Executive Committee will bear fruit to the end of the age.<br />
Impelled by an ever-deepening appreciation of the surpassing fidelity <strong>and</strong> efficiency in which he<br />
served as Executive Secretary of the Executive Committee—his soundness of judgment, his fairness<br />
in his dealings with his brethren, his loyalty to Baptist principles, <strong>and</strong> his love for Christ—we,<br />
the present members of the Executive Committee, unanimously recommend the adoption of this<br />
expression of our admiration <strong>and</strong> affection for this beloved Preacher, Author <strong>and</strong> Statesman.<br />

30 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
17. The report on Evangelism was presented by Chairman W. H.<br />
Knight <strong>and</strong> after an address by M. E. Dodd, Louisiana, was adopted:<br />
EVANGELISM<br />
We, your Committee on Evangelism, make report as follows:<br />
For more than a decade, prior to 1943, we had witnessed a gradual decline<br />
in evangelistic results. Taking the Convention territory, as a whole, we had<br />
dropped to the alarming average of one baptism a year, for every 27.6 church<br />
members. Accordingly, as we surveyed this serious drop two years ago, <strong>and</strong><br />
as preparations went forward for our Centennial Celebration last year, it was<br />
felt, by your committee, that we should celebrate that historic year by placing<br />
special emphasis on soul-winning. Your committee, therefore, recommended to<br />
the 1944 Convention, assembled in Atlanta, Georgia, that a southwide evangelistic<br />
crusade be conducted during the Centennial year of 1945.<br />
The Home Mission Board was asked to organize <strong>and</strong> lead in this special<br />
endeavor. All other Boards <strong>and</strong> agencies of the Convention were asked to cooperate.<br />
The Home Mission^ Board requested the First Baptist Church, Shreveport,<br />
Louisiana, to release its pastor, Dr. M. E. Dodd, for a period of one year<br />
to organize <strong>and</strong> direct this crusade. The great Shreveport church answered<br />
the request <strong>and</strong> released Dr. Dodd . as of June, 1944. Months were spent in<br />
travel <strong>and</strong> conference, setting up appropriate machinery in the various States.<br />
Any attempt to give details of this enormous task of preparation would be<br />
impossible. Some brief figures will suffice. For example: Dr. Dodd travelled<br />
over 30,000 miles, spoke several <strong>hundred</strong> times to more than a million people.<br />
Organizations for evangelism were set up in every cooperating state <strong>and</strong> in most<br />
of the District associations.<br />
When the night of New Year's Eve, 1944, arrived, <strong>hundred</strong>s of thous<strong>and</strong>s of<br />
our people gathered for prayer <strong>and</strong> rededication of themselves to this great<br />
task.<br />
*<br />
The objective of this Crusade, set by the Atlanta Convention, May, 1944,<br />
was the winning of a million souls to Christ as our Centennial crown for Christ.<br />
While -complete figures are not yet available for the Calendar year of 1945, it<br />
is certain that we did not reach that noble objective. In fact it may never be<br />
known, this side of the records in the Book of Life, how many people were won<br />
to Christ in 1945. But we are certain that baptisms took a very encouraging<br />
step upward. It appears that one baptism was recorded for approximately<br />
every twenty-two church members. Figures gathered by our statistical department<br />
at Nashville indicate over 275,000 actual baptisms. Estimates are, that<br />
from 20% to 25% of professions do not unite with a church organization at<br />
the time of profession. Dr. Dodd estimates this number at 55,000. It is estimated<br />
that our Baptist chaplains led 95,000 to Christ in 1945. Vacation Bible<br />
Schools reported more than 25,000. Add to these the souls won by our Foreign<br />
<strong>and</strong> Home Missionaries, <strong>and</strong> it is a conservative estimate, that the organized<br />
hosts of Southern Baptists won in the neighborhood of a half-million souls<br />
in 1945.<br />
Although we did-not reach the numerical goal set, we can report a renewed<br />
interest in soul-winning throughout the Southl<strong>and</strong>. In July of 1945, Dr. Dodd<br />
returned to his Shreveport pulpit <strong>and</strong> the active leadership of the Crusade was<br />
assumed by Dr. Fred Eastham, Superintendent of Evangelism for the Home<br />
Mission Board. Dr. Eastham is now recovering from a serious <strong>and</strong> extended<br />
illness <strong>and</strong> is planning large things in evangelism for future years. In view of<br />
the efforts of the Centennial year <strong>and</strong> of prospects growing therefrom, your<br />
committee would make the following recommendations:<br />
1. That we record our gratitude for the increased interest in soul-winnin<br />
<strong>and</strong> especially for the victories of the Centennial Year of 1945.<br />
2. That we express to Dr. M. E. Dodd our sincere gratitude for his great<br />
leadership during the preparatory months <strong>and</strong> during the first half of the Centennial<br />
year. Also we are grateful for the constructive way in which Dr. Eastham<br />
carries on the work.<br />
3. good We work would started urge in upon the all Crusade our churches year. We the feel importance it should be of the continuing prophetic<br />
the
PROCEEDINGS 31<br />
interest of things to come in the new century, rather than a mere climax to<br />
our first century of organized work.<br />
4. We would further urge the organized forces of all our cooperating states<br />
to maintain an organization which will give perennial attention to the work of<br />
Evangelism. We would encourage the growing of departments of evangelism<br />
wherever practical, in all the States, <strong>and</strong> as full correlation <strong>and</strong> cooperation as<br />
possible between these State Convention departments <strong>and</strong> the department of<br />
evangelism of the Home Mission Board, <strong>and</strong>/or its other missionary departments.<br />
5. We would send forth the challenge to all our constituency to pray earnestly<br />
for revival fires among us, in congested City areas, in rural areas,<br />
everywhere throughout our territory, where Christ does not reign in all the<br />
relationships of men. Let us pray for, plan for, <strong>and</strong> expect the tides of Evangelism<br />
to rise on <strong>and</strong> upward, until His Name shall be made known to every<br />
lost soul within our Convention bounds.<br />

WEDNESDAY—Evening Session<br />
19. The report of the Committee on Centennial Session was as<br />
follows:<br />
The Convention in Atlanta, 1944, instructed the Committee on the Centennial<br />
Session to proceed with plans for the Centennial Convention, to be held in<br />
Atlanta, May 8-13, 1945, with a pilgrimage to Augusta, May 14.<br />
The program for the Centennial Session was complete, <strong>and</strong> approved by the<br />
Executive Committee of the Convention, when the Government's Order of<br />
January 5, 1946, was issued, banning all conventions of an attendance of more<br />
than fifty after February 1, 1945.<br />
Our committee requested the Executive Committee to meet <strong>and</strong> give us<br />
instructions. Such meeting was held, February 6-7, 1945, <strong>and</strong> it was the
SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
unanimous vote of the Executive Committee that the Centennial Session be<br />
deferred until such time as the Convention might be held without hindering<br />
the war effort.<br />
Subsequent developments ruled out all possibility of holding the Convention,<br />
even at a deferred date, in 1945. At a meeting of the Executive Committee<br />
on December 12. 1945, the former action authorizing a Centennial session whenever<br />
the Convention was held was reconsidered <strong>and</strong> it was voted to devote one<br />
session of the Miami Convention to the Centennial, as is revealed in the Order<br />
of Business.<br />

SOUTHERN BAPTIST HOSPITAL<br />
TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT—1946<br />
LOUIS I. BRISTOW, Superintendent<br />
Now that History's worst war is ended, with the victory of Right over Evil<br />
<strong>and</strong> world Peace is in the making—we can be sure that the Golden Age is before<br />
us, not behind us. For whether we sorrow for loved ones we shall not see<br />
again, or exult in a family reunited, we do so in the knowledge war has exacted<br />
its last toll of us <strong>and</strong> we are released from further anxieties. We are free to<br />
plan our lives again, <strong>and</strong> our work. The necessity for undertaking unknown<br />
emergency assignments with no future outlook is past. God has greatly blessed
PROCEEDINGS 33<br />
our country, <strong>and</strong> this Hospital has shared its full measure of that blessing. Of<br />
the 92 who went out from our Hospital only one was killed, one lost his right<br />
arm near the shoulder, one lost an eye, <strong>and</strong> several suffered less serious wounds.<br />
There were deaths <strong>and</strong> injuries in several of the families of our workers, however<br />
; <strong>and</strong> we sorrow with them. But now it is over, <strong>and</strong> we all together rejoice<br />
'<strong>and</strong> praise our Father in heaven.<br />
THE YEAR'S WORK<br />
As we review the record of service rendered during the year we are reminded<br />
of Matthew's statement concerning the ministry of Jesus: "Great multitudes<br />
came unto Him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed,<br />
<strong>and</strong> many others, <strong>and</strong> cast them down at Jesus' feet; <strong>and</strong> He heaied them:<br />
insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the<br />
maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, <strong>and</strong> the blind to see: <strong>and</strong> they glorified<br />
the God of Israel."<br />
Of course, never is it possible to tabulate the entire work of a hospital:<br />
for much of its service is moral <strong>and</strong> spiritual. However, figures which may be<br />
tabulated tell a story of achievement in service of which we may well feel<br />
gratitude. We admitted 25,269 patients during the year, <strong>and</strong> gave them 139,985<br />
days of service. Eight <strong>hundred</strong> <strong>and</strong> ninety-four persons were given 9,862 days<br />
of free service, at a cost to the Hospital of $58,058.98. There were 2,633 births,<br />
<strong>and</strong> 3,175 emergency room cases which were not hospitalized. Forty-two young<br />
women were graduated from the Sehool of Nursing <strong>and</strong> 17 doctors completed<br />
their fifth year of medical training. Operating income was $1,317,478.84; gifts,<br />
etc., amounted to $14,934.33, thus giving a total gross income of $1,332,413.17.<br />
We paid all operating expenses including the free work; <strong>and</strong> closed the year with<br />
a substantial cash balance.<br />
HOSPITAL FOR NIGERIA<br />
Desiring to extend its ministries to neglected sufferers, the Board asked<br />
permission of the Executive Committee of the Convention to appropriate $25,000<br />
to the Foreign Mission Board for a hospital in Nigeria, Africa, which was<br />
approved: <strong>and</strong> the money will be furnished when the Board is ready to build.<br />
COOPERATIVE WORK<br />
During the year we cared for 19 missionaries of the Foreign Mission Board,<br />
giving them 78 days of service at a cost to the Hospital of $1,071.84; <strong>and</strong> five<br />
Home Board missionaries were given 55 days of service at a cost of $430.96.<br />
Fifty-four women from the Home Board's Emergency .Home were given 517<br />
days of service, at a cost of $3,404.71. We had nine babies from the Protestant<br />
Home for ab<strong>and</strong>oned babies, giving them 146 days of service at a cost of<br />
$816.29. Many others were workers for State associational agencies, pastors,<br />
etc.<br />
NEW DORMITORY<br />
In February we completed a new dormitory for student nurses—Farnsworth<br />
Hall, named for Mr. Olin J. Farnsworth, a former member of this Board, a<br />
warm friend <strong>and</strong> substantial supporter of the Hospital. This new building is<br />
<strong>six</strong> stories in height, has a large assembly hall, kitchen, sitting room, matron's<br />
room four private rooms for visitors <strong>and</strong> 65 double rooms for 130 students.<br />
The cost of this building was $230,562.75 <strong>and</strong> the furniture cost $10,196.32 or<br />
a total of $240,759.07, all of which is paid for.<br />
An incinerator building was built <strong>and</strong> equipped early in the year at a cost<br />
of $26,908.57, <strong>and</strong> is paid for.<br />
RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION<br />
Each patient is asked to give his religious denominational affiliation. Many<br />
decline to do so, or indicate they have no preference. From replies given the<br />

The Hospital has completed 20 calendar years of service. As a matter of<br />
technical fact, the first year covered a period of a little less than 10 months,<br />
as the first patient was admitted March 8, 1926. But for convenience <strong>and</strong> to<br />
conform with the by-laws of the Southern Baptist Convention, our business year<br />
is coterminous with the calendar year.<br />
In these 20 years we have served 225,490 patients, giving them 1,266,352<br />
days of service. There have been 20,552 live births. We have given 136,368<br />
days of free service, at a cost to the Hospital of $971,452.81. During the same<br />
period the total contributions from the Denomination amounted to $918,135.22,<br />
which includes the $250,000 from the Home Board <strong>and</strong> the $100,000 from the<br />
Louisiana Baptist Convention given at the Jbeginning, <strong>and</strong> all we have received<br />
from the Co-operative Program <strong>and</strong> the Hundred Thous<strong>and</strong> Club from the<br />
beginning through December 31, 1945. So it will be seen that we have done<br />
$53,317.59 more in free work than the total Denominational gifts. And we<br />
have a plant which cost $2,164,522.09, plus $409,864.49 interest, or a total of<br />
$2,574,386.58 paid for from earnings, direct personal gifts <strong>and</strong> legacies. Truly<br />
God has blessed us. We have graduated 433 young women from the School of<br />
Nursing, <strong>and</strong> 197 young doctors have taken their fifth year of training with us.<br />
RELIGIOUS AND SOCIAL ACTIVITIES<br />
The religious activities are operated through the Baptist Student Union<br />
Council. The regular weekly schedule includes daily chapel services; two Sunday<br />
school classes for ambulatory patients—one for adults <strong>and</strong> one for children<br />
—with student nurses conducting the classes; distributing Christian literature<br />
to all patients; Dormitory devotionals; <strong>and</strong> fixed meetings of the B.S.U. Council,<br />
Y.W.A., <strong>and</strong> the Volunteers for Christ.<br />
Two parties are given each month, so as to give all students an opportunity<br />
to attend at least one.,. Moving pictures are provided twice a month both in the<br />
Hospital chapel <strong>and</strong> in the auditorium in Farnsworth Hall. A chorus club is<br />
trained by a competent teacher, meeting every Tuesday evening.<br />
LEGACIES AND ANNUITIES<br />
During the year we received $914.22 from the estate of Miss Anne Brook<br />
Fordtran, of New Orleans.<br />
We have been advised by the administrator of the estate of Miss Estie<br />
Dupree of Baton Rouge that the Southern Baptist Hospital was left one-half<br />
interest in certain business <strong>and</strong> residential property in that city owned by the<br />
deceased, our portion being valued at about $25,000.00.<br />
AN IRON LUNG<br />
This Hospital has needed an "iron lung," <strong>and</strong> during the year the Women's<br />
Missionary Societies in Louisiana undertook to raise the money with which to<br />
buy one. Through March 31st we have received $1,862.32 which will be sufficient.<br />
We are deeply grateful to the women of Louisiana for this contribution.<br />
A NEW ADMINISTRATOR<br />
At his own request, Superintendent Bristow was relieved of all administrative<br />
duties as of July 1st, <strong>and</strong> Frank S. Groner was elected administrator.<br />
Brother Groner is eminently fitted for the duties. He had served as assistant to<br />
the Superintendent for nine <strong>and</strong> one-half years, <strong>and</strong> is a capable man. He is<br />
well known in national hospital affairs, having served for several years as a<br />

MAGNOLIA STREET PROPERTY<br />
We bought the property at the corner of Magnolia <strong>and</strong> Jena Streets <strong>and</strong><br />
that at the corner of Magnolia <strong>and</strong> Cadiz Streets, both lots being directly across<br />
Magnolia Street from Bristow Hall, the graduate nurses' home. The old residence<br />
at the Jena Street corner is almost valueless, but the buildings at the<br />
Cadiz corner rent for $83.33 per month. These two corners cost us $16,000<br />
<strong>and</strong> were bought for cash.<br />
REQUEST FROM SAN ANTONIO<br />
We received a request from the Baptist Pastors' Conference of San Antonio,<br />
Texas, requesting us to establish a hospital in that city, to be owned <strong>and</strong><br />
operated by this Hospital; which request bore the endorsement of the executive<br />
committee of the Baptist General Convention of Texas. As there was no<br />
meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention last year, this request was submitted<br />
to the Convention's Executive Committee for advice <strong>and</strong> instructions.<br />
After considering the request, the Executive Committee felt it should not pass<br />
upon it, but that the matter should be referred to this Convention for action.<br />
CONVENTION POLICY<br />
The policy of the Convention respecting hospitals is that as a general rule<br />
State Baptist Convention ownership <strong>and</strong> control is desirable; but specifically<br />
recognizes exceptional conditions "such as x x x New Orleans" in which the<br />
full strength <strong>and</strong> influence of Southern Baptists should be enlisted.<br />
The Hospital Commission was organized by the Convention "for the establishing<br />
<strong>and</strong> maintaining of hospitals as a part of our great Baptist program or as<br />
a part of the service that Baptists of the South are to render all humanity,<br />
whether abroad or at home, through the agencies of this Convention"; <strong>and</strong> the<br />
Commission was instructed to "make a survey of the hospital situation in the<br />
South from a Baptist st<strong>and</strong>point, with the view of bringing definite recommendations<br />
to this Convention one year hence in regard to a permanent hospital<br />
policy for the future."<br />
A prolonged study was made, covering the territory of the Convention. A<br />
voluminous file of facts <strong>and</strong> suggestions was accumulated. A brief summary<br />
of this study was made in a report to the Convention. It was pointed out that<br />
few district associations were able to operate hospitals successfully; but State<br />
Conventions .could do so; <strong>and</strong> that there are exceptional circumstances in which<br />
the Convention itself should act. We quote from the report:<br />
"A great Southwide house of healing, well located in some large city, drawing<br />
its support from the whole denomination, having at its comm<strong>and</strong> physicians<br />
<strong>and</strong> surgeons of outst<strong>and</strong>ing merit in their profession, would comm<strong>and</strong> nationwide<br />
attention <strong>and</strong> offer extraordinary facilities for service to those who would<br />
resort to it. It is not difficult to picture situations where this Convention should<br />
act in its corporate capacity. Indeed it has acted, x x x Therefore, we submit<br />
the following:<br />
"First, That the general policy of this Convention be to observe denominational<br />
State ownership <strong>and</strong> control of Baptist hospitals;<br />
"Second, That the Convention recognizes certain outst<strong>and</strong>ing exceptions,<br />
such as the Tuberculosis Sanatorium in El Paso, Texas, <strong>and</strong> the general hospital<br />
at New Orleans, for which the Convention st<strong>and</strong>s committed;<br />
"Third, That this Hospital Commission with five local members shall be<br />
incorporated <strong>and</strong> shall hold in trust all hospitals of this Convention; <strong>and</strong> shall<br />
act in an advisory capacity with such other Baptist Hospitals within our territory<br />
as may desire same." (Minutes 1924, page 73)<br />
Thus the Convention contemplated establishing other hospitals, <strong>and</strong> the<br />
Commission was "to hold in trust all" of them. But the cases were to be<br />
exceptional.<br />
MANY REQUESTS DISAPPROVED<br />
Requests for establishing hospitals under the authority <strong>and</strong> control of the<br />
Southern Baptist Convention have been received from Baptist groups in eight<br />
different States: <strong>and</strong> one Baptist State Convention by formal resolution made<br />
exceptional such request. situation However, "such in as no New case Orleans," hitherto has either this in Board need or felt opportunity there was for<br />
an
36 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
Kingdom service; <strong>and</strong> we declined to do any more than to proffer counsel<br />
advice. .<br />
Prolonged <strong>and</strong> careful studv of conditions in San Antonio lead us to believe<br />
the full strength of Southern'Baptists is needed <strong>and</strong> should be given to thecause<br />
there. The city presents almost an exact parallel to Now Orleans <strong>and</strong><br />
comes within the purview of the Convention's hospital policy.<br />
SOME FACTS<br />
The population of San Antonio is approximately 325,000. Baptists number<br />
20,000.<br />
There should be at least 2,000 general hospital beds. There are actually<br />
only 954.<br />
San Antonio is predominantly Roman Catholic in religious faith; <strong>and</strong> has<br />
almost the highest percentage of non-church people of all cities in the Convention<br />
territory, according to a recent Home Mission Board survey.<br />
There is no Baptist institution in or near San Antonio except a recentlyorganized<br />
Mexican Orphanage which is caring for fewer than 25 children.<br />
Catholics have two orphanages, one seminary, one university, two colleges for<br />
women, <strong>and</strong> 51 kindergartens, grammar <strong>and</strong> high schools; <strong>and</strong> the largest hospital<br />
in the city.<br />
There are a million people within hospital distance of San Antonio, <strong>and</strong><br />
the Catholic faith greatly predominates.<br />
The Chamber of Commerce, doctors, merchants, bankers, <strong>and</strong> professional<br />
men invite Southern Baptists to establish a hospital. Pastors <strong>and</strong> other religious<br />
workers feel a Baptist hospital will greatly aid them in their work; demonstrating<br />
to a large Catholic <strong>and</strong> non-believing people what is Christianity as<br />
taught <strong>and</strong> practiced by Baptists.<br />
How FINANCED<br />
Southern Baptist Hospital has had a net operating income averaging more<br />
than $120,000 per year for 20 consecutive years—including the period of the<br />
economic depression—<strong>and</strong> there is every reason to believe it will continue to<br />
have a substantial income. Under the charter such income can be used only<br />
to establish <strong>and</strong> maintain hospitals.<br />
To finance this enterprise it is proposed that San Antonio proponents shall<br />
furnish not less than $400,000 <strong>and</strong> a site, <strong>and</strong> the Southern Baptist Hospital<br />
$200,000. This should be sufficient to give us a hospital of. 100 to 125 beds.<br />
In our judgment it is neither desirable nor wise to initiate such an enterprise<br />
with too large a plant. The enterprise would be financed well within the financial<br />
policy of the Convention.<br />
The San Antonio request has the endorsement of the Baptist General Convention<br />
of Texas, which Convention, we are advised, voted to make an allocation<br />
for a period of years to aid in insuring against an operating loss, if any. We<br />
recommend:<br />
1. That the Convention approve the San Antonio request, based upon the<br />
terms outlined above;<br />
2. That no other branch of the Southern Baptist Hospital shall be established<br />
in any city without the prior approval of this Convention, or its executive<br />
committee.<br />

PREAMBLE<br />
SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES<br />
From time to time through all our modern history, Baptists have declared<br />
their principles which define their meaning <strong>and</strong> mission in relation to the gospel<br />
<strong>and</strong> in relation to the world. Surely, now when the world is writhing m terrific<br />
crisis we are under obligation to restate our principles, to make clear that our<br />
faith is good news for all mankind. It is with this sense of obligation <strong>and</strong><br />
with this purpose that the Southern Baptist Convention, at its Centennial meeting,<br />
undertakes to state afresh the basic principles that we must proclaim to<br />
the whole world in our day.<br />
PRINCIPLES<br />
Our distinctive belief is our Doctrine of "Man in the personal order of life,<br />
that is, what God says concerning man.<br />
(1) God places infinite <strong>and</strong> eternal value on the individual man <strong>and</strong> makes<br />
him the focal unit in all His dealings with mankind.<br />
(2) Every man is endowed by the Creator with competence as a person to<br />
deal with God <strong>and</strong> with his fellowmen in all rightful relations.<br />
(3) God gives to the individual man natural, inalienable rights <strong>and</strong> privileges<br />
which should be recognized in human society. These rights should not<br />
be violated by compulsion or by undue constraint or restraint so as in any wise<br />
to interfere with the individual's free functioning as a unit in all relationships.<br />
(4) Man consequently has supreme <strong>and</strong> compelling responsibility under<br />
God for the full realization of his possibilities as a human being, for seeking<br />
<strong>and</strong> receiving fellowship with God, <strong>and</strong> for fulfilling the purposes of God in<br />
all human relations. To the end of this divine economy for humanity, God<br />
has provided in the gospel of Christ, through the power of the Holy Spirit,<br />
for the renewal of the individual soul by regeneration <strong>and</strong> for its response<br />
through the grace of God to the divine ideal.<br />
Out of this doctrine of the individual grows the Baptist conviction concerning<br />
all aspects of religious experience <strong>and</strong> life.<br />
First, this religious experience of regeneration <strong>and</strong> conversion is the beginning<br />
of the Christian life <strong>and</strong> is prerequisite to church membership.<br />
Second, the local church, a voluntary fellowship of baptized believers, is<br />
responsible directly <strong>and</strong> only to Christ, the Creator <strong>and</strong> Head of the church.<br />
It is a democratic body in which all the members are equally free <strong>and</strong> responsible<br />
participants. Its divinely called ministry is chosen by the church itself under<br />
the guidance of the Holy Spirit.<br />
Third, the one <strong>and</strong> only authority in faith <strong>and</strong> practice is the New Testament<br />
as the divinely inspired record <strong>and</strong> interpretation of the supreme revelation of<br />
God through Jesus Christ as Redeemer, Saviour <strong>and</strong> Lord.<br />
Fourth, this basic belief dem<strong>and</strong>s the separation of church <strong>and</strong> state. Each<br />
must be left free to serve in its own divinely appointed sphere for the "welfare<br />
of mankind; but neither undertaking to control the other or to be supported as<br />
such by the other.<br />
Fifth, the comprehensive statement of all these doctrines is contained in<br />
our insistence upon religious liberty. By this we mean, <strong>and</strong> must mean not<br />
only freedom of individual worship <strong>and</strong> fellowship without interference by the<br />
state; but we mean also specifically <strong>and</strong> insistently the right of propag<strong>and</strong>a<br />
through evangelism, education, <strong>and</strong> the development of Christian institutions.<br />
This we claim not as for ourselves, but for all men of all religious beliefs <strong>and</strong><br />
of all theories of social order which are not obviously immoral or detrimental to<br />
the common welfare of men; <strong>and</strong> we dem<strong>and</strong> this not as a concession or toleration<br />
but as a basic right under God.<br />
FIELDS or APPLICATION<br />
These basic principles find the spheres of their operation in all the principal<br />
concerns of humanity. The Christian movement is not isolated from the common<br />
concerns <strong>and</strong> life of mankind, but as a declarative, prophetic movement<br />
charged with a gospel for men in all relations, is a leavening <strong>and</strong> instructing
PROCEEDINGS 39<br />
agency in the midst of society for the good of the human race <strong>and</strong> the glory of<br />
God in the coming of His Kingdom.<br />
(1) To this comprehensive end, Christians are under obligation to seek for.<br />
true Christian unity in experience <strong>and</strong> spiritual fellowship; <strong>and</strong> for the voluntary<br />
cooperation of all Christian believers in the total work for which the gospel<br />
is designed. This cooperation should not issue in any ecclesiastical overlordship<br />
of the individually redeemed or their churches.<br />
(2) Recognizing the divine sovereignty over all the people of the world,<br />
we must do all possible to prevent the organization of the world on the principles<br />
of materialism, selfish nationalism, arrogant imperialism <strong>and</strong> power politics;<br />
but rather insist upon the principles of the oneness of humanity, the rights of<br />
all men alike under God, <strong>and</strong> the Christian ideals of brotherhood, justice <strong>and</strong><br />
truth, remembering that God's supreme word for the organized life of humanity<br />
is righteousness.<br />
(3) To this end it is necessary to resist all inequalities of basic rights <strong>and</strong><br />
privileges in the church <strong>and</strong> in society, which arise out of racial prides <strong>and</strong><br />
prejudices, economic greed, <strong>and</strong> class distinctions; everywhere proclaiming <strong>and</strong><br />
practicing human brotherhood under the will <strong>and</strong> purpose of God.<br />
(4) Our Christian faith repudiates <strong>and</strong> opposes all forms of exploitation,<br />
manipulation or neglect <strong>and</strong> indifference on the part of any section of our human<br />
race by any other section on any <strong>and</strong> every pretext whatsoever. The Christian<br />
religion lies at the base of all. In it alone is there hope of the application of<br />
these principles in other relations of men.<br />
It is especially urgent therefore, at this time, that these principles should<br />
be recognized when we are face to face with the necessity for the reconstruction,<br />
the rehabilitation <strong>and</strong> the reorientation of the lives of all peoples <strong>and</strong> the<br />
corporate life of humanity. Upon the Christian forces lies the responsibility<br />
for introducing now the gospel, the purpose <strong>and</strong> the power of God unto salvation<br />
for all men.<br />
There can be a Christian order only as it is constituted of <strong>and</strong> by genuine<br />
Christians. Neither the world nor any part of the world can be organized <strong>and</strong><br />
conducted on Christian principles except as there are Christians incorporating<br />
these principles. Here lies the imperative for an immediate undertaking for<br />
worldwide <strong>and</strong> thorough evangelizing of all peoples. Christian missions must<br />
be comprehensive, thorough <strong>and</strong> universal. New men are essential to a new<br />
world. L. L. GWALTNEY, Alabama<br />

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE<br />
NINETEENTH ANNUAL REPORT<br />
DUKE K. McCALL, Executive Secretary<br />
AUSTIN CROUCH. Executive Secretary Emeritus<br />
I. E. DILLARD, Director of Promotion<br />
WALTER M. GILMORE, Director of Publicity<br />
At the regular meeting of the Executive Committee in June, 1945, Dr. Austin<br />
Crouch, who served as Executive Secretary of the Committee since its reorganization<br />
in June, 1927, requested to be retired from active service after<br />
October 1, 1945.<br />
After due consideration, the Committee reelected Dr. Crouch to serve as<br />
Executive Secretary until his successor could be found <strong>and</strong> he could take ovei<br />
the responsibilities of the office, at which time Dr. Crouch would become secretarj<br />
emeritus. A committee of ten was appointed to nominate a successor.<br />
At the December meeting of the Committee, the special committee nominated<br />
Dr. Duke K. McCall, president of the Baptist Bible Institute of New Orleans, as<br />
Executive Secretary, <strong>and</strong> he was unanimously elected. On January 25, he<br />
accepted the call to become effective May 1, 1946, at which time he took over<br />
the office of Executive Secretary <strong>and</strong> Dr. Crouch became' secretary emeritus.<br />
PROMOTION<br />
"Hitherto hath the Lord helped us."<br />
During the stressful times through which we have passed we have endeavored<br />
to carry on all the work committed to us in the best way possible under the<br />
circumstances. We are grateful to God <strong>and</strong> to all who have helped. Executive<br />
secretaries, editors, organizations, pastors, <strong>and</strong> our people in general, have been<br />
sympathetic <strong>and</strong> co-operative thereby enabling us to report progress along many<br />
if not all lines.<br />
PUBLICITY<br />
In addition to utilizing the newspapers in publicising our work we have<br />
published seven issues of The Baptist Program during the year, which has gone<br />
to more pastors than ever before. The Baptist Bulletin Service, emphasizing<br />
every phase of our denominational life, has far exceeded in circulation all former<br />
records, approximately 300,000 each week. The same is true in reference to<br />
our tracts <strong>and</strong> posters. *<br />
1945: THE CENTENNIAL CRUSADE<br />
In 1945, the Centennial year of our Convention, a special effort was made<br />
to worthily complete, celebrate, climax, <strong>and</strong> crown the century for Christ. We<br />
call this special effort the Centennial Crusade. There were <strong>six</strong> great objectives,<br />
namely: (1) Winning a million more souls to Christ; (2) enlisting a million<br />
more souls for Christ; (3) teaching a million more souls the word <strong>and</strong> will of<br />
Christ; (4) rebuilding war's wreckage; (5) reviving scriptural giving; (6) relieving<br />
humanity's needs. It was hoped our people would contribute at least<br />
$20,000,000 for the support of our denominational work, state <strong>and</strong> Southwide.<br />
We did not reach all these objectives, but this Centennial year was in many<br />
ways the greatest year in our Convention history. Our total church contributions<br />
for 1945 were $98,458,425 which was an increase of $21,859,005 over 1944.<br />
Our gifts to mission causes for 1945 were $22,490,751 which was an increase<br />
of $5,187,232 over 1944.<br />
Our gifts for Southwide causes through the Nashville office for 1945 were<br />
$5,735,559.83 which was an increase of $1,458,067.53 over 1944.<br />
Our gifts for church support <strong>and</strong> denominational work were much the largest<br />
in our history, but still were insufficient to meet the crying needs of our denomination<br />
<strong>and</strong> a broken world.<br />
1946: THE ENLARGED CO-OPERATIVE PROGRAM<br />
Your Executive Committee acting for the Convention tried to launch a new<br />
Century for Christ in the year 1946. This enlarged program stresses <strong>six</strong> points:<br />
(1) Indoctrination, or informing our people as to our doctrines, program, <strong>and</strong><br />
work. (2) Conservation, or holding fast the victories already achieved, namely,
42 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
our doctrines, property, <strong>and</strong> work. (3) Continuation, or carrying on with<br />
greater devotion <strong>and</strong> determination the Centennial Crusade objectives. (4) Augmentation,<br />
or the larger support of our boards <strong>and</strong> institutions. (5) Co-operation,<br />
or enlarging the Co-operative Program receipts to help provide for capital as<br />
well as current needs of our agencies. (6) Debt freedom, or rebuilding <strong>and</strong><br />
enlarging our work only as funds are in h<strong>and</strong>. (7) Stewardship, seeking a<br />
million Southern Baptist tithers for Christ.<br />
At a meeting of the Executive Committee in December, 1945, in which stat<br />
secretaries, editors, <strong>and</strong> others participated it was decided to enlarge the regular<br />
Co-operative Program for Southwide causes by setting a goal of $3,000,000 for<br />
current needs <strong>and</strong> $3,000,000 for capital needs of Southwide causes. It was<br />
generally understood that specials or nondistributable funds would be in addition<br />
to the regular Co-operative Program goal.<br />
The receipts of the Nashville office the first quarter 1946 were as foll<br />
Co-operative Program, $1,208,051.19; total receipts, $2,065,441.35. At this rate<br />
receipts for the year would be $4,832,204.76 for the Co-operative Program <strong>and</strong><br />
a total, including designations, of $8,261,765.40. As compared with 1945 this<br />
is a substantial increase, but compared with the need it is lamentably small.<br />
We call upon our pastors <strong>and</strong> all our people to give this immediate <strong>and</strong> prayerful<br />
consideration.<br />
RECOMMENDATIONS<br />
We recommend:<br />
1. That the high spiritual objectives of the 1945-46 program be continue<br />
with special emphasis upon private <strong>and</strong> corporate prayer for the peace of the<br />
world, for divine guidance for our own nation, <strong>and</strong> for the success of our agencies,<br />
missionaries, <strong>and</strong> Christian workers in all l<strong>and</strong>s.<br />
2. That all our agencies <strong>and</strong> people be urged to join in the promotion of<br />
Christian stewardship of time, talent, <strong>and</strong> treasure, <strong>and</strong> that special effort be<br />
made to enrol a million Southern Baptist tithers for Christ.<br />

ADMINISTRATION<br />
MEETING OF CONVENTION DEFERRED<br />
At the call of the President, J. Howard Williams, the Executive Committee<br />
met in Nashville, Tennessee, on February 6, 1945, in special session to consider<br />
the advisability of deferring the meeting of the Convention which was scheduled<br />
to meet in Atlanta, Georgia, on May 8-13, 1945.<br />
At the request of the Chair, Louie D. Newton, Chairman of the Centennial<br />
Convention Committee, explained the object of the called session, <strong>and</strong> offered<br />
the following motion, which after lengthy discussion, was unanimously adopted:<br />
In view of the statements from Mr. Byrnes, Colonel Johnson, Senator<br />
George, <strong>and</strong> other governmental officials, <strong>and</strong> after conference with various<br />
officers of the Convention <strong>and</strong> many pastors <strong>and</strong> lay leaders, I move that the<br />
next regular session of the Southern Baptist Convention, scheduled to meet<br />
in Atlanta, Georgia, May 8-13, 1945, which marks the 100th anniversary of<br />
this historic body, be deferred, with the underst<strong>and</strong>ing first, that such<br />
action is taken by the Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention<br />
as our desire to co-operate with our Government in its expressed<br />
appeal of January 5, 1945; <strong>and</strong> second, that the Executive Committee of the<br />
Southern Baptist Convention hereby requests the Director of War Mobilization<br />
<strong>and</strong> Reconversion <strong>and</strong> the Director of the Office of Defense Transportation<br />
to notify this committee, if, at any time during the year 1945, the<br />
Convention may be had without hindering the war effort; <strong>and</strong>, third, that<br />
the Executive Committee make a statement immediately to our people,<br />
explaining its reason for this action, <strong>and</strong> adopt such plans as may be found<br />
feasible <strong>and</strong> practicable in carrying forward the work of the Convention,<br />
including the Centennial Evangelistic Crusade <strong>and</strong> other special efforts
44 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
in connection with the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Convention.<br />
Louie D. Newton reported for the special committee appointed to make<br />
application to the Office of Defense Transportation to hold a streamlined<br />
business session of the Convention November 6-8. He reported that the application<br />
was sent the next day after V-J Day <strong>and</strong> that the Office of Defense<br />
Transportation notified him on September 10 that the request had been denied.<br />
Two days later the ban on holding conventions was lifted. In the meantime<br />
he had notified the hotel people in Atlanta that the Convention could not be<br />
held this fall <strong>and</strong> released them from their promise to supply hotel facilities<br />
at this time. After the ban was lifted he again approached the hotel association<br />
only to find that they had already given all of their space to two other conventions<br />
to be held at that particular time.<br />
On motion, the recommendation of the committee that we do not hold a<br />
session of the Southern Baptist Convention this fall was adopted <strong>and</strong> the same<br />
committee was appointed to arrange for a session in May, 1946, at the usual<br />
time of meeting.<br />
On motion of J. H. Buchanan, the committee on arrangements for the Convention<br />
was requested to communicate with the Miami authorities at once,<br />
accepting.their offer to meet in that city next May, <strong>and</strong> this committee was<br />
authorized to make any adjustments that it may find necessary, waiving requirements<br />
hitherto dem<strong>and</strong>ed of cities entertaining the Convention.<br />

III. Suggestions concerning the work of the Convention<br />
On September 19, 1945 at a special meeting of the Executive Committee a<br />
partial report was made by the Survey Committee which contained the following<br />
:<br />
Each of the sub-committees have made a careful study of all of our<br />
Southwide institutions <strong>and</strong> agencies, limiting themselves thus far in the<br />
survey to their financial needs. The full Survey Committee on September<br />
18 reviewed the digests resulting from these surveys. The Survey Comnlittee<br />
attempted to discover the ultimate <strong>and</strong> immediate financial needs<br />
of each agency <strong>and</strong> institution, of the Southern Baptist Convention, <strong>and</strong><br />
by correspondence, information was sought from each of the state conventions<br />
as to their ultimate needs for capital investments. While the<br />
ultimate needs of Southwide agencies <strong>and</strong> institutions as submitted by<br />
each of them totalled $27,000,000.00, the Survey Committee reduced this<br />
over-all objective to approximately $21,000,000.00. The Survey Committee<br />
found that $3,062,900.00 was needed urgently <strong>and</strong> immediately to meet<br />
capital needs which could not be provided for through normal Co-operative<br />
Program receipts.<br />
On account of the limitations of time <strong>and</strong> the magnitude of the task,<br />
it is noted that only one phase of the survey is reflected in this report,<br />
namely the financial needs of our Southern Baptist work. The Survey<br />
Committee should be given further time to continue its work in other-<br />
- phases of our Baptist life that should be carefully studied. The Executive<br />
Committee referred to the Administrative Committee the completion of<br />
• the work of the survey of the agencies of the Southern Baptist Convention.<br />

46 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
RECOMMENDATIONS<br />
Recommendation No. 1:<br />
We recommend that the following action of the Executive Committee be<br />
approved:<br />
1. In view of the fact that percentages pertaining to 1944 funds still obtain,<br />
<strong>and</strong> must continue until the Convention meets; <strong>and</strong>,<br />
2. In view of the fact that in September, 1945, a new program, providing<br />
for capital needs, was projected, after conference <strong>and</strong> agreement with state<br />
secretaries, editors, southwide executives <strong>and</strong> the Executive Committee, meeting<br />
as a committee of the whole, <strong>and</strong> setting up an overall goal of $6,000,000<br />
for 1946 for all Southern Baptist Convention agencies <strong>and</strong> institutions, $3,000,-<br />
000 for their current needs to be divided on the percentages of 1944, <strong>and</strong> the<br />
$3,000,000 for capital improvements on percentages established as a result<br />
of the recommendations of the Survey Committee; <strong>and</strong>,<br />
3. In view of the fact that the budget for current operations of the agencies<br />
<strong>and</strong> institutions, submitted at the December meeting of the Executive Committee,<br />
reflect anticipated income from the Co-operative Program in excess of<br />
the $3,000,000 as agreed upon in September; therefore, we recommend,<br />
First, That the several agencies <strong>and</strong> institutions adjust their budgets for<br />
current operations to their respective percentages of the $3,000,000, agreed<br />
upon in September; <strong>and</strong>,<br />
Second, that the first $3,000,000 of undesignated funds shall be divided according<br />
to the existing: percentages as established by the Convention, <strong>and</strong> that<br />
all other undesignated funds shall be divided according to the percentages<br />
agreed upon in the September (1945) meeting for capital needs, unless otherwise<br />
directed by the respective states.<br />
Third, That copies of this report be sent to all state secretaries, editors,<br />
<strong>and</strong> southwide executives.<br />

(2) That in keeping with the agreement between the Executive<br />
Committee <strong>and</strong> all southwide agencies that the total operating<br />

(5) We recommend that designated funds for capital need*<br />
for any agency or institution be applied on its goal but when the<br />
goal of said agency is met it will not participate further in distributable<br />
capital funds until the goals of the other agencies are<br />
met, however it shall continue to receive any designated funds.<br />
Recommendation No. 4:<br />
In the light of present world needs which challenge Southern Baptists to<br />
share of our abundance with the victims of war we recommend:<br />
(1) That May <strong>and</strong> June of 1946 be used as a period of preparation for<br />
the promotion of a special campaign with a minimum goal of three <strong>and</strong> onehalf<br />
million dollars for world relief <strong>and</strong> rehabilitation, the same to be<br />
administered by the Foreign Mission Board, following this preparation a<br />
cash offering be taken beginning in the month of July <strong>and</strong> continuing until<br />
completion but not beyond September 30, 1946.<br />
(2) That the expenses of this campaign be paid out of receipts with an<br />
advance from the Foreign Mission Board to cover the costs of promotion.<br />
(3) That the plan of promoting the Co-operative Program <strong>and</strong> the special<br />
campaign be in harmony with the accepted methods in each of the cooperating<br />
states.<br />
(4) That all promotional literature <strong>and</strong> publicity be uniform <strong>and</strong> that it<br />
be prepared by the Executive Committee in co-operation with the state<br />
secretaries, editors of state papers, <strong>and</strong> the executives of southwide agencies.<br />
Recommendation No. 5:<br />
We recommend the adoption of the following report by the special committee<br />
on the preservation of Baptist History:<br />
"December 12, 1945, Dr. H. I. Hester in behalf of the Committee on<br />
Promotion of Baptist History requested the discontinuance of his committee<br />
<strong>and</strong> the work entrusted to the Baptist Historical Society. The Executive<br />
Committee appointed Henry W. Tiffany, Merrill D. Moore, <strong>and</strong> Isam B.<br />
Hodges to study further the request <strong>and</strong> report.<br />

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT<br />
We have examined the balance sheet of the Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist<br />
Convention, Nashville, Tennessee, as of December 31, 1945, have reviewed the accounting<br />
procedures <strong>and</strong> examined or tested accounting records of the Committee <strong>and</strong> other supporting<br />
evidence by methods <strong>and</strong> to the extent we deemed appropriate. Our examination was made in<br />
accordance with generally accepted auditing st<strong>and</strong>ards applicable in the circumstances <strong>and</strong><br />
included all procedures which we considered necessary.<br />
In our opinion the accompanying balance sheet presents fairly the financial position of the<br />
Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention at December 31, 1945. in conformity<br />
with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that, ol th.<br />
preceding year. MoINTYRE AND ASSOCIATES<br />

SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
34. With Vice-President Williams in the chair, the following resolution,<br />
offered by Louie D. Newton, was adopted:<br />
[NOTE: The following resolution, adopted unanimously by the Southern Baptist Convention,<br />
May 16, 1946, Miami, Florida, was prepared by Louie D. Newton, Atlanta, upon motion of the<br />
Executive Committee adopted in Nashville, Tennessee, March 20, 1946.]<br />
SOUTHERN BAPTISTS PETITION PRESIDENT TRUMAN TO TERMINATE<br />
MR. TAYLOR'S APPOINTMENT TO THE VATICAN, AND<br />
CALL THE VATICAN EMBASSY HOME<br />
Whereas, Southern Baptists, in regular convention assembled, beginning a<br />
Baltimore, in 1940, have repeatedly <strong>and</strong> earnestly protested the action of the<br />
President of the United States in appointing Mr. Myron C. Taylor as his "Personal<br />
Representative" to the Vatican, December 26, 1939, without the consent or<br />
approval of the Congress, <strong>and</strong> in violation of the First Amendment to the<br />
Constitution, <strong>and</strong> the Act of the 39th Congress, 1867, forbidding any further<br />
appropriation of money "hereby or otherwise" for the support of an American<br />
legation at Rome (meaning the Vatican), <strong>and</strong>,<br />
Whereas, this unauthorized <strong>and</strong> unfortunate <strong>and</strong> untimely appointment has<br />
stimulated <strong>and</strong> nourished deep anxiety <strong>and</strong> concern amongst the freedom-loving<br />
people in every section of our Nation at a time when we so much desire <strong>and</strong><br />
need a unified people, <strong>and</strong>,<br />
Whereas, the U. S. Embassy staff at the Vatican has been steadily increased,<br />
notably following the surrender of Germany, costing the taxpayers approximately<br />
$40,000 during the past year, <strong>and</strong>,<br />
Whereas, our Government in further violation of the Constitution of the<br />
United States (See Article I, Section 9) allowed Mr. Taylor to accept the Gr<strong>and</strong><br />
Cross of the Order of Pius, carrying with it the hereditary status of a papal<br />
nobleman (See story in New York Times, dated Vatican City, March 11, 1946),<br />
<strong>and</strong>,<br />
Whereas, the President of the United States has recently made official<br />
announcement of the return of Mr. Taylor to the Vatican as the representative<br />
of the President of the United States, with the rank of Ambassador, thus implying<br />
an indefinite, <strong>and</strong>, perhaps, a permanent official representative of our Government<br />
at the Vatican, without the consent or approval of the Congress, <strong>and</strong><br />
in violation of the First Amendment to the Constitution, <strong>and</strong> other provisions<br />
of the Constitution <strong>and</strong> Acts of the Congress, therefore,<br />
Be it resolved by the messengers of the Southern Baptist Convention in<br />
session this the 16th day of May, 1946, in Miami, Florida, convention, m<br />
First, that we do most earnestly <strong>and</strong> respectfully protest this unauthori<br />
<strong>and</strong> unfortunate procedure on the part of our Government, <strong>and</strong>, further, that<br />
we again petition the President of the United States to immediately terminate<br />
tte appointment of Mr. Taylor, <strong>and</strong> call home the Embassy staff at theT Vatican,<br />
Second, that the President of this Convention be authorized <strong>and</strong> requeste<br />
to seek immediate conference with the President of the United States <strong>and</strong><br />
personally present to him this protest <strong>and</strong> petition, <strong>and</strong>, * JIUxea ^ates ana<br />
Third, that we do hereby further authorize <strong>and</strong> request the President of this<br />
Convention to associate with him other officers of this Convention <strong>and</strong> other<br />
members of this Convention, if such course be found wise <strong>and</strong> P ^ L t ? !<br />
making this representation to the President of the United States <strong>and</strong><br />
Fourth, that we do hereby authorize <strong>and</strong> request the President of /M. r<br />
vention to associate himself with spokesmen of other evane-eli^Tl iL,nl iT<br />
have sought or shall seek such approach to the President ofthenl^?ll \ *°<br />
protest of this violation of the Constitution, <strong>and</strong> this unaiitEoriS States m<br />

39. The report of the Committee on Baptist Papers, presented by<br />
C. E. Bryant, Arkansas, <strong>and</strong> discussed by John D. Freeman, Tennessee,<br />
was adopted:<br />
BAPTIST PAPERS<br />
Establishment of the Baptist Press in the South antedated organization<br />
of the Southern Baptist Convention by more than twenty years. In the Convention's<br />
first century of progress, the number of these news-journals has<br />
grown from <strong>six</strong> to twenty, all of them contributing fundamentally to the<br />
denomination's glorious history. The columns of these papers, encouraging free<br />
speech <strong>and</strong> free press, have been vital in promoting the democratic cooperation<br />
that is our distinctive characteristic.<br />
As the Convention enters now into its second century <strong>and</strong> we look to a<br />
new era for these Baptist papers, we would not change in the least—but we<br />
would intensify—their editorial policy of free discussion, of denominational<br />
promotion, of strong doctrinal pronouncements. The only change we would<br />
desire is increased attractiveness, increased circulation, increased readership.
60 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
We are well on the way to our goal of making the papers an integral part<br />
of the lives of all our constituency. Latest figures indicate that the combined<br />
circulation of our papers has multiplied about four times since the Southern<br />
Baptist Convention at Baltimore in 1940 launched a concerted program to put<br />
the papers into the homes of the denomination. Our deepest gratitude is<br />
expressed to Dr. Louie D. Newton, chairman, <strong>and</strong> other members of his Committee<br />
on the Baptist Papers Circulation Campaign.<br />
Your editors are not unmindful that the increased circulation, through<br />
"the budget plan," has changed our reading constituency from that of the<br />
pastors <strong>and</strong> a few faithful leaders to the mass of laymen in our Convention.<br />
In this recognition we know that our papers must have increased attractiveness<br />
<strong>and</strong> increased readability so that they may be as appealing to these lay readers<br />
as are the many national magazines that clamor for prior attention. Our papers<br />
are not all we want them to be in this regard, but your editors have made this<br />
one of their constant aims.<br />
Success of the vastly enlarged program Southern Baptists plan for these<br />
post-war years will be largely dependent upon the state Baptist papers. Our<br />
people cannot love a cause they do not know, <strong>and</strong> they cannot support a cause<br />
they do not both know <strong>and</strong> love. The challenges <strong>and</strong> the plans <strong>and</strong> the<br />
accomplishments of these years immediately ahead must be heralded through<br />
these papers to every hearthside in the Convention territory. Surely the Lord<br />
has led in achieving an increased audience so that we can throw out this<br />
challenge most effectively <strong>and</strong> most thoroughly to all constituents.<br />
We are extremely grateful for the cooperation shown the papers by every<br />
phase of our denominational work: the laymen in the homes, the pastors, the<br />
state conventions <strong>and</strong> all our denominational boards. We are all in the same<br />
business, each depending upon the other for the fullest realization of our<br />
ultimate goal of winning the world to Christ.<br />

40. The report of the Committee on Circulation of Baptist Papers<br />
was submitted by Louie D. Newton. The several editors present were<br />
called to the platform <strong>and</strong> each stated his paper's circulation. After<br />
remarks by Mrs. Katherine Norton Betting, Florida, the report was<br />
adopted.<br />
BAPTIST PAPERS CIRCULATION CAMPAIGN<br />
At the Baltimore Convention in 1940. the Editors of the eighteen State<br />
Baptist Papers requested the Convention to appoint a committee to work jointly<br />
with the Editors <strong>and</strong> committees of the respective State Conventions in promoting<br />
the cumulation of our State Baptist Papers. The total circulation of<br />
the eighteen State Baptist Papers in 1940 amounted to 190,683.<br />
Our committee met in Nashville immediately following the Baltimore Convention<br />
<strong>and</strong> adopted unanimously plans for securing 500,000 subscribers to our<br />
State Baptist Papers by the Centennial of the Convention, 1945. The goal was<br />
reached m the faU of 1944. On April 1, 1945, we had reached a total of 547 254<br />
subscribers. Restrictions on print paper slowed the effort, but reports just<br />
compiled, as of April 1, 1946. reveal the heartening fact that we now have<br />
633,792 subscribers to our State Baptist Papers, wit! three of trTepanlrs not<br />
reporting withm the period since April 1, 1945,* <strong>and</strong> two paper* notPrSnortfiS<br />
since April 30, 1944.** It is conservative to estimate that w^now have close t5<br />

LOUIE D. NEWTON, Chairman<br />
41. Field Secretary Thomas T. Holloway, Texas, submitted a<br />
statement about the American Bible Society which was received for<br />
printing in the ANNUAL :<br />
AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY<br />
General Headquarters: 450 Park Avenue, New York 22, N. Y.<br />
THOMAS T. HOLLOWAY. Field Secretary<br />
1914 Main Street, Dallas 1, Texas<br />
At the very center of all forms of missions is the task of distributing the<br />
Bible in the languages of the people, so that the Word of God may speak the<br />
message of Jesus Christ directly to the heart of each person in his own native<br />
tongue.<br />
REGULAR WORK<br />
Working at this essential task in co-operation with the churches <strong>and</strong> the<br />
denominational mission boards, the American Bible Society renders a world-wide<br />
service as a missionary non-profit organization. It aids in translation, publishes<br />
the Scriptures without note or comment, supplies them at cost or less, <strong>and</strong> encourages<br />
their use.<br />
On foreign fields, the Scriptures are regularly sold below cost, because the<br />
people cannot even pay the cost of a Gospel booklet. They are sold because<br />
people appreciate the books (<strong>and</strong> read them) more when they make a personal<br />
investment. In special need, at home <strong>and</strong> abroad, they are given without charge.<br />
EMERGENCY WORK<br />
During World War II, in addition to its regular work of furnishing Scriptures<br />
for world-wide missions, the Emergency Work of the Society provided,<br />
without charge, Scriptures for our Armed Forces, refugees, <strong>and</strong> war prisoners<br />
of both Allied <strong>and</strong> Axis nations.<br />
Peace brought even greater emergency needs <strong>and</strong> opportunities. The Emergency<br />
Work is now providing, without charge, Scriptures for tragic <strong>and</strong> bewildered<br />
people in many countries who have been cut off from the Word of God<br />
by war conditions <strong>and</strong> now are turning hungrily to the Bible.<br />
Because we knew that only America would be able to help, the American<br />
Bible Society was at work all through the war preparing reserve stocks of Scriptures,<br />
in many languages, for the immediate post-war needs of millions of people<br />
held behind "closed doors" in Europe <strong>and</strong> Asia.<br />
As hostilities ceased in each area of the global conflict, shipments of Scriptures<br />
began to be sent for the relief of Bible-starved people.<br />
From many l<strong>and</strong>s comes essentially the same report—God is welcomed with<br />
an eagerness that is pathetic, <strong>and</strong> the number of Scriptures needed is almost<br />
overwhelming. Larger shipments are on the way, <strong>and</strong> more books are being<br />
printed as fapidly as funds are available.
62 • SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
Various causes have produced the acute needs in Europe <strong>and</strong> Asia. Printing<br />
of the Scriptures has been practically impossible in many countries—due to<br />
shortages of labor <strong>and</strong> materials, destruction of printing plants, <strong>and</strong> restrictions<br />
of various kinds.<br />
Many people need Bibles because theirs were lost or destroyed in the war.<br />
Some need a Bible of their own, because in the agony <strong>and</strong> heartbreak of war<br />
experiences they found comfort <strong>and</strong> strength through reading a Bible that<br />
belonged to someone else. Others, who have had little or no contact with the<br />
Word of God before are now ready to turn to its pages for the first time.<br />
OPEN DOORS<br />
Doors now open to the Bible throughout the world present an unparalleled<br />
opportunity for Christian Missions. Here are some of the major needs whict<br />
the Society is undertaking to meet:<br />
In Asia, China alone will need 300,000 Bibles, 1,000,000 New Testaments, <strong>and</strong><br />
10,000,000 Gospels in the next two years.<br />
In Europe, emergency needs likewise total millions of volumes. Because the<br />
German people show an unexpected interest, estimates for Germany are 900,000<br />
Bibles, 2,800,000 New Testaments, <strong>and</strong> 2,800,000 Gospels.<br />
From Japanese Christian leaders, the American Bible Society has received<br />
a request (which has been confirmed by Colonel Ivan L. Bennett, Chief United<br />
,nn A«nT rmy Ch *p!* in in Japan) for 2,500,000 Japanese New Testaments,<br />
100^)00 Japanese Bibles, <strong>and</strong> 100,000 English New Testaments.<br />
We sent immediately 60,000 Japanese New Testaments which we had already<br />
prepared m anticipation of such needs, <strong>and</strong> tegan the production of a special<br />
edition m heavy paper covers to care for this huge request for 2,500,000 New<br />
Testaments These are being sent to Japan as rapidly as they can be printed<br />
<strong>and</strong> the needed funds secured.<br />
Remembering that there are only about one-half million Christians in Japan,<br />

PROCEEDINGS 63<br />
THE TASK AHEAD<br />
Vast needs still lie ahead in the post-war emergency work, <strong>and</strong> increasing<br />
opportunities on many, many mission fields call for a larger regular program of<br />
Scripture distribution, especially in l<strong>and</strong>s blacked-out by illiteracy, where millions<br />
each year are now being taught to read. These multitudes with eager<br />
minds <strong>and</strong> hungry hearts must have the Word of God!<br />
Only one-tenth of the. world's people now possess the printed Word of God.<br />
Eight-tenths more could have it now. The Bible—or some part of it—is published<br />
in 1,068 languages, spoken by nine-tenths of the human race. A worldwide<br />
missionary advance through increased Scripture distribution waits only<br />
for needed funds.<br />
Southern Baptists can be counted on to do their full share in giving the<br />
Bible to all the world. Your church can help. Here are suggestions:<br />
Every church can give at least these amounts each year:<br />
Country <strong>and</strong> village churches $5<br />
Churches in small cities $10 to $25<br />
Larger churches $25 to $50<br />
Great city churches .„ $100 to $200<br />
Please send the contributions from your church to your Baptist State headquarters<br />
office, marked "for the American Bible Society."<br />
A resolution endorsing the Society, offered by W. R. White, Texas,<br />
was on his motion referred to the Committee on Resolutions.<br />
42. The report of the Committee on World Peace was presented<br />
<strong>and</strong> discussed by J. M. Dawson. Two amendments oifered by O. K.<br />
Armstrong, Missouri, were adopted, <strong>and</strong> the amended report was<br />
adopted:<br />
WORLD PEACE<br />
We beg to submit herewith our report on World Peace <strong>and</strong> to recommend<br />
that with the disposition of this report you discharge the Committee which has<br />
now functioned for three years. It is our conviction that the particular service<br />
which we were called upon to render during the crucial times when World Peace<br />
was being initiated <strong>and</strong> formulated may be continued adequately by other<br />
st<strong>and</strong>ing commissions or committees, such as the Social Service Commission or<br />
your Public Relations Committee.<br />
In thus seeking to retire we would claim the privilege of reviewing briefly<br />
something of the extensive undertakings of the Committee <strong>and</strong> of submitting<br />
certain considerations which we earnestly hope our people will keep before<br />
them as essentials in the inauguration <strong>and</strong> maintenance of a peaceful world<br />
in conformity with the divinely constituted moral order. Surely in this age of<br />
the atomic bomb, fraught with infinite hazard, it will be conceded that the<br />
problem in human society which looms above all others is this problem of the<br />
world's peace set up on a basis of moral law in behalf of justice, freedom <strong>and</strong><br />
good will.<br />
It will be recalled that at the outset of our labors, as early as 1943, your<br />
Committee enunciated <strong>six</strong> principles on which we hoped to see world peace<br />
established. They were: 1. No isolation—recognizing that all nations are<br />
members one of another. 2. Democracy, or the right of all nations, both great<br />
<strong>and</strong> small, to self-government. 3. International organization for peace, implemented<br />
with necessary police power <strong>and</strong> an international court of justice.<br />
4 The worth of every individual respected, toward the elimination of race<br />
prejudice <strong>and</strong> hatreds which undermine respect for the individual. 5. Economic<br />
opportunity for all peoples, toward elimination of disastrous trade barriers <strong>and</strong><br />
enforced poverty. 6. Religious liberty, not alone tolerated worship but the<br />
right to conduct missions, to hold property dedicated to religious uses, to<br />
establish schools <strong>and</strong> printing presses, <strong>and</strong> to exercise civil rights without discrimination<br />
on grounds of religious faith.<br />
Printed in tons of booklets we publicized these principles by freely distributing<br />
multiplied thous<strong>and</strong>s among our people, <strong>and</strong> in addition offered many
64<br />
SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
articles to the press, both Baptist <strong>and</strong> secular, in the earnest effort to get them<br />
understood <strong>and</strong> to get our people mobilized in support of them.<br />
Our next effort was to cooperate with the United States Government, unofficially<br />
of course, in the organization of the United Nations. To this end your<br />
chairman attended the meeting of representatives of national groups called<br />
by Secretary Hull in the State Department in October, 1944, to hear the meaning<br />
of the Dumbarton Oaks proposals <strong>and</strong> offer suggestions for their improvement.<br />
At that meeting -your chairman pleaded for guarantees of religious<br />
liberty. At other meetings of such groups, as at the National Conference of<br />
the Churches for a Just <strong>and</strong> Durable Peace held in Clevel<strong>and</strong>, Ohio, in January,<br />
1945, members of our Committee had a free share in formulating other suggested<br />
improvements of the Dumbarton Oaks proposals. It is exceedingly<br />
encouraging to note that seven out of the nine suggestions so offered were<br />
substantially incorporated in the United Nations Charter as finally adopted.<br />
Meanwhile in State conventions, district associations, <strong>and</strong> local churches our<br />
people, sometimes under the leadership of this Committee <strong>and</strong> many times upon<br />
their own motion, were contending for certain highly desirable objectives in<br />
world peace, notably religious liberty.<br />
Our great opportunity came in the San Francisco Conference. Your chairman<br />
attended as an observer <strong>and</strong> invited participant., He not only represented<br />
Southern Baptists thus unofficially so far as the Government was concerned,<br />
but requested also by Northern <strong>and</strong> Negro Baptists to serve them as well. In<br />
company with Dr. W. O. Lewis, secretary of the Baptist World Alliance <strong>and</strong><br />
others, he presented to the Secretary of the United Nations certification of<br />
approximately 100,000 petitions for religious liberty which had come up mainly<br />
from Southern Baptist churches, asking that guarantees of religious liberty<br />
should be incorporated in the Charter of the United Nations Organization.<br />
While we cannot assert that the guarantees of such liberty as finally written into<br />
the Charter embody all that we as Baptists could desire in the way of explicit<br />
definition, we nevertheless rejoice that three times over there is included a very<br />
gratifying guarantee of it. It is our fond hope <strong>and</strong> firm belief that this guarantee<br />
will eventually be further exp<strong>and</strong>ed <strong>and</strong> enforced under development of<br />
a bill of rights yet to be adopted by the United Nations.<br />
We rejoice unspeakably at the war having ended in military victory over the<br />
Axis Powers <strong>and</strong> at the United Nations having commenced to operate as an<br />
international organization, yet we are made acutely aware of the many vast,<br />
almost insoluble questions which now confront our Nation <strong>and</strong> our people. Any<br />
facing up to these problems <strong>and</strong> duties must tremendously challenge us to most<br />
serious endeavors. At this time we offer the following expression of our convictions<br />
<strong>and</strong> beseech Southern Baptists to ponder them well.<br />
1. It is our solemn conviction that we should look sympathetically, hopefully<br />
<strong>and</strong> cooperatively upon the United Nations as the best existing organization<br />
through which to secure a just <strong>and</strong> durable peace. We fully recognize that it<br />
is not perfect, that it has glaring defects, <strong>and</strong> may even be only a step toward<br />
the World Government which will later be found imperatively necessary to the<br />
peace <strong>and</strong> order of the world. Nevertheless it has been arrived at after prolonged<br />
study <strong>and</strong> conference <strong>and</strong> by united agreement of the fifty-one nations<br />
comprising it. Very excellent provisions have been made in it such as the<br />
General Assembly in which all the nations enjoy an equal voice, the international<br />
court of justice, the economic <strong>and</strong> social council, the commission for recommending<br />
the control of the atomic bomb, etc. There is good reason to believe the<br />
objectionable veto power m the Security Council may be amended The United<br />
Nations Organization is a visible, Poetical .response to the situation in which<br />
everybody knows it is ONE WORLD OR JsONE.<br />
2. Since our Nation has undertaken to lead the world into peace accordi<br />
to moral law, it behooves our people to guard well the safety <strong>and</strong> security of<br />
the internal order. We hear much of the dangers of fascism <strong>and</strong> communism.<br />
While we do not minimize the menace of either of these systems which are<br />
contrary to our American democratic order, we would warn against the sinister<br />
power of militarism which is wholly inconsistent with our sincere sunnort of<br />
the United Nations; which by means of compulsory peace-time military training<br />
or indefinite perpetuation of the draft would substitute for our lone time<br />
or prolific national else by of policy wars building <strong>and</strong> the up which hated huge has conscription armaments so lately been would which the virtually historically chief reliance impose abroad of upon totalitarianism"<br />
has our been people<br />
s
PROCEEDINGS 65<br />
the rule of a high military comm<strong>and</strong>. We should be Christian enough <strong>and</strong> brave<br />
enough to cooperate toward abolishing militarism from the face of the earth.<br />
General MacArthur has said all nations must now renounce war for being<br />
utterly futile as an arbiter of national disputes; all nations must at once strive<br />
to eliminate the suspicion, .distrust which result from' power threats; we must<br />
have world leadership with moral courage sufficient to implement the will of<br />
the masses who abhor war <strong>and</strong> upon whom fails the main weight of war's<br />
frightful carnage; this must be effected by action—not words alone—because<br />
with the development of modern science another war may blast mankind to<br />
perdition, <strong>and</strong> the childlike, irresponsible faith that somehow we could manage<br />
to survive such a war is in itself civilization's greatest peril. Nations, one <strong>and</strong><br />
all, we agree, must, therefore, break decisively with this outmoded, impossible,<br />
unthinkable militarism which has dominated the past. We must work in a<br />
brave, determined effort to place the world's security on a basis of intelligent<br />
cooperation <strong>and</strong> universal regard for human rights.<br />
3. In closing we would earnestly argue that the hope of a just <strong>and</strong> permanent<br />
peace depends more than ever upon the spiritual transformation of the race.<br />
Invaluable as may be international agreements embodied in political organization,<br />
the establishment of brotherhood among men awaits the regeneration of<br />
individuals <strong>and</strong> the real Christianization of leaders. The United Nations will<br />
be helpless to carry on without moral st<strong>and</strong>ards, moral conscience <strong>and</strong> conviction.<br />
The ultimate security of the world is not to be found in the Kremlin of<br />
Moscow, in Number Ten Downing Street or in the White House at Washington.<br />
It does not st<strong>and</strong> in vast armaments. It will be based on the spiritual attitudes<br />
Of men. Those attitudes will be created by Christian evangelism, Christian<br />
missions, Christian education in the United States <strong>and</strong> in the other nations of<br />
the world. Ten righteous men could have saved Sodom. It is not necessary<br />
to have an actual majority of Christians of the right sort in order to save the<br />
world from destruction. As.Dr. Carroll used to point out, a righteous minority<br />
would have saved the world from the ancient deluge, <strong>and</strong> the continued existence<br />
of society in every age of the world rests upon a saving few, the salt of the<br />
earth which prevent its decay <strong>and</strong> death. We must make sure that saving<br />
number is sufficient in our time. Far more, we must exp<strong>and</strong>, accelerate <strong>and</strong><br />
intensify all our resources of talents <strong>and</strong> means to hasten the day for the<br />
coming of Christ's Kingdom, when God's will shall be done on earth as it is<br />
done in heaven.<br />

I<br />
The period of the writing of peace treaties, to bring formally to an end the<br />
era of war, lies just ahead, of us. We believe that statesmen entrusted with<br />
this great task need the prayers, planning <strong>and</strong> active assistance of Southern<br />
Baptists. Therefore, we pledge our continued efforts to build a peace based<br />
upon the Christian principles of justice, mercy <strong>and</strong> righteousness, among all<br />
peoples of all nations. To that end, we instruct the Committee on Public Relations<br />
to assume the work of the World Peace Committee, <strong>and</strong> to strive earnestly<br />
to realize the ideals, aims <strong>and</strong> recommendations of its 1946 report.<br />
II<br />
We believe that the goal of peacemakers must be a world organized on the<br />
Christian principles of order <strong>and</strong> justice. We further believe that in the field<br />
of international relations, such a goal can be accomplished only by some type of<br />
world government. Accordingly, we recommend that Southern Baptists endorse<br />
the principle of world federation, <strong>and</strong> work toward amending <strong>and</strong> improving<br />
the present United Nations organization to achieve that end.<br />
On motion of Frank Tripp, the Convention by st<strong>and</strong>ing vote expressed<br />
appreciation of the work of the Committee on World Peace.

REVISION OF CONSTITUTION AND BY-LAWS<br />
The Constitution <strong>and</strong> By-Laws have been rewritten from first to las<br />
does not mean that a great many changes have been made or that the Committee<br />
s work has been revolutionary. Some changes have been made <strong>and</strong> some<br />
additions also, but m the main the meaning <strong>and</strong> substance of the report is the<br />
same as the present constitution, although it is cast in different form.<br />
There were several reasons for rewriting the whole document. First<br />
have given headings to the articles <strong>and</strong> sections, so the reader can easily find<br />
what he wants. Cross references in some instances will facilitate underst<strong>and</strong>ing.<br />
I he advantage of these simple devices will be evident to every one.<br />
We have rewritten everything, sometimes to clarify the meaning; to<br />
unnecessary verbiage; to use more constitutional rather than popular language;<br />
to make it as accurate, precise, <strong>and</strong> concise as possible.<br />
The Constitution, Article II, the "Purpose," has been broadened so<br />
to conform to the more complex work of the Convention now-a-days, <strong>and</strong> to<br />
provide on advice of attorneys, ample ground in our fundamental law, for<br />
certain types of work, which the lawyers were not sure were covered in our<br />
present Constitution.<br />

for each additional quarter of a million another additional member Th; -ii<br />
compensate for lessening the local membership to fifteen by maintain^ TiT<br />
same total number, <strong>and</strong> will give the very large constituencies a mo •
PROCEEDINGS 67<br />
representation as compared with the small constituencies, <strong>and</strong> with the states<br />
that have Boards in their bounds <strong>and</strong>, therefore, fifteen local members on<br />
Boards. Even this adjustment will leave a state of a half or three quarters of<br />
a million Baptist members with a great deal smaller proportionate representation<br />
than the states having small constituencies of a few thous<strong>and</strong>, or even a<br />
<strong>hundred</strong> thous<strong>and</strong> members. For instance, Texas with 800,000 Baptists <strong>and</strong><br />
three members on the Boards would have each Board member representing<br />
266,000 persons, while a state with 10,000 or 25,000 would have one Board<br />
member representing only ten or twenty-five thous<strong>and</strong>. This gives the small<br />
states much more proportionate representation <strong>and</strong> voting power than the big<br />
states. We do not go on strict numerical basis, <strong>and</strong> we are not afraid to trust<br />
any group of intelligent Baptists who have all the facts, <strong>and</strong> take time to weigh<br />
them, but it is not best for our policies <strong>and</strong> management to have the fixing <strong>and</strong><br />
control of those policies <strong>and</strong> management in the h<strong>and</strong>s of representatives who<br />
represent, say only 5 or 10 per cent of our total membership.<br />
4. We are suggesting a limitation of tenure to a maximum of two threeyear<br />
terms with an exception in special cases of members who, by reason of<br />
technical or professional services, seem indispensable. Of course the report does<br />
not make it m<strong>and</strong>atory that they shall serve two terms. The nominating committee<br />
<strong>and</strong> the Convention could displace a member after one term of three<br />
years, but not sooner constitutionally.<br />
5. We have given the Boards freedom to have executive, administrative,<br />
finance, <strong>and</strong> investment committees to accommodate their form of organization.<br />
The reader will note that we have improved the methods <strong>and</strong> safeguards in<br />
h<strong>and</strong>ling moneys <strong>and</strong> securities so that securities cannot be manipulated <strong>and</strong><br />
hypothecated without the Board's knowledge. That sort of By-Law would have<br />
saved us nine <strong>hundred</strong> thous<strong>and</strong> dollars in the days of one Mr. Carnes.<br />
Under the By-Laws, Section 6, "Agencies of the Convention," we have a<br />
more accurate listing than heretofore. The Southern Baptist Foundation is<br />
listed because the Atlanta Convention, 1944, voted to establish that .agency.<br />
Some may think Section 7 is revolutionary but it is not. It is just good<br />
sense <strong>and</strong> care in electing our most important special committee, the one" to<br />
nominate members of boards, commissions, <strong>and</strong> st<strong>and</strong>ing committees.<br />
The present method of choosing this important committee is for the new<br />
president, before the Convention adjourns, to appoint one from each state as<br />
the next committee on boards, commissions, <strong>and</strong> st<strong>and</strong>ing committees. The new<br />
president is not the official president until the Convention adjourns. He has no<br />
time, <strong>and</strong> maybe not the acquaintance with the whole territory (how could he<br />
have?) necessary to find out who in the many states are most available <strong>and</strong><br />
competent for this difficult service. This appointment requires an intimate<br />
knowledge of the personnel of the whole territory. How absurd to expect one<br />
man who is just becoming president to make the best appointments when he<br />
has not a day to write or investigate the personnel in the different states. The<br />
present plan is just about the worst we could have. The plan suggested will<br />
utilize the knowledge of the messengers of the states about their own personnel<br />
which they know as nobody else can know; <strong>and</strong> it leaves the Convention free<br />
<strong>and</strong> sovereign in its own rights.<br />
Moreover the'plan suggested is not complicated or impossible of operation.<br />
The messengers can easily get together <strong>and</strong> nominate three persons from their<br />
. state, one of whom the Convention will elect, if it wants to; <strong>and</strong> if it does not,<br />
it can amend the report <strong>and</strong> elect someone else, just as Baptists have done from<br />
the year one, <strong>and</strong> will go on doing.<br />
Let me say that the members of this Committee have been, with the fewest<br />
exceptions, the most hardworking, courteous, painstaking, meticulously careful,<br />
<strong>and</strong> accurate group I have ever worked with; <strong>and</strong> I have helped, through the<br />
years, to write many constitutions <strong>and</strong> by-laws, charters, articles of faith, <strong>and</strong><br />
covenants. As chairman, I want to express my unqualified, profound thanks<br />
to them, for they have been "swell" to me in their courtesy <strong>and</strong> co-operation,<br />
<strong>and</strong> appreciation of me <strong>and</strong> my efforts in my difficult labors as chairman.<br />
The readers will find all the names appended to the report which follows,<br />
except four who for one reason or another said they could not sign the report.<br />
I addressed a card to every member of the committee asking for authority to
68<br />
SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
sign his name, indicating that after some weeks if I did not hear from them<br />
I would add the names of all who did not decline to sign the report. Only four<br />
declined, <strong>and</strong> all others have been added.<br />

was adopted:<br />
EDUCATION COMMISSION<br />
CHARLES D. JOHNSON. Chairman<br />
THOMAS H. TAYLOR. Vice-Chairman<br />
SPRIGHT DOWELL. Secretary-Treasurer<br />
PART I<br />
In this, the eighteenth report of the Education Commission of the Southe<br />
Baptist Convention, it is necessary to give a more comprehensive as well as<br />
more detailed report than is usually given. This is true because of many<br />
changes in our Baptist schools <strong>and</strong> colleges brought about by war <strong>and</strong> by conditions<br />
following the war. Also, since this is the first time since 1943 that<br />
the Convention has been permitted to meet, it is the duty of the Commission to<br />
report activities undertaken <strong>and</strong> carried out during the intervening period.<br />
All of the five functions of the Commission have been faithfully performed<br />
during this period by the active cooperation of sub-committees.<br />
The five functions are as follows:<br />
(1) Reports <strong>and</strong> Programs, (2) Christian Educational St<strong>and</strong>ards, (3)<br />
Publicity <strong>and</strong> Information Service, (4) ^Survey <strong>and</strong> Educational Institutional<br />
Analysis, <strong>and</strong> (5) Interrelationships.<br />
Each of these sub-committees works in connection with the Chairman of<br />
the Commission whose office serves as a central agency for the assembly of all<br />
educational information <strong>and</strong> consequently the source upon which all educational<br />
institutions, boards, conventions, associations, <strong>and</strong> churches may call for<br />
educational information.<br />
REPORTS AND PROGRAMS<br />
Reports are assembled from all Baptist schools <strong>and</strong> colleges twice each<br />
year, once in the fall, again in the spring. The fall report includes enrollment,<br />
improvements made during the summer, endowment raised, departments added<br />
or changed, new degrees offered, varying requirements for graduation, tuition<br />
<strong>and</strong> fees changes, debts (if any) retired, <strong>and</strong> plans for the year. The spring<br />
report includes any changes made during the year in items included in the fall<br />
report <strong>and</strong>, in addition, the report of co-operation of churches, associations,<br />
<strong>and</strong> conventions in raising funds through the budget or by other plans. Donations<br />
of money, l<strong>and</strong>, buildings, libraries, <strong>and</strong> other valuable assets are listed.<br />
A comprehensive report based upon reports from all schools is then prepared<br />
<strong>and</strong> presented to the Southern Baptist Convention.<br />
Programs are prepared by the Commission for use of state, district, <strong>and</strong><br />
county associations. Many pastors, especially among the larger churches have<br />
come to rely upon the Education Commission for suggested programs <strong>and</strong> for
PROCEEDINGS 81<br />
educational information to serve as a basis for the preparation of Christian<br />
Education Day programs.<br />
AH state secretaries are furnished materials regularly for their use in the<br />
different states. Such materials are not always available, but with a reasonable<br />
increase in allocation of funds the volume of these educational materials will<br />
be made available at all times.<br />
CHRISTIAN STANDARDS<br />
Promoting Christian st<strong>and</strong>ards has been recognized as a major function of<br />
the Commission. College students themselves as well as their parents realize<br />
that Christian st<strong>and</strong>ards in Education are as important as st<strong>and</strong>ards in medicine,<br />
weights <strong>and</strong> measures, even in character itself. Believing, as the Education<br />
Commission does, in high educational ideals which cannot fail to include Christian<br />
beliefs, attitudes, <strong>and</strong> practices, a seven point program has been accepted<br />
as a goal toward which every Baptist school that has not already reached it<br />
may at an early date do so. Steady though not always rapid, progress is being<br />
made.<br />
OUR SEVEN-POINT PROGRAM<br />
1. Choice faculty of Christian men <strong>and</strong> women whose scholarship is measured<br />
in terms of appropriate advanced degrees <strong>and</strong> whose teaching ability is<br />
verified by successful guidance of students into fields of noble achievement.<br />
2. Select students whose records in st<strong>and</strong>ard high schools indicate qualities of<br />
leadership.<br />
3. Planned course of study, sufficiently comprehensive to include religion, literature,<br />
science, <strong>and</strong> the practical arts. This plan provides for the development<br />
of students in theory <strong>and</strong> practice.<br />
4. St<strong>and</strong>ard libraries in which students have ample opportunity to broaden<br />
<strong>and</strong> deepen their knowledge in their chosen fields of study.<br />
5. Adequate laboratories for scientific courses so that students may be equipped<br />
for entrance to^ professional schools.<br />
6. Efficient physical education plan comprehending the buoyant nature of growing<br />
bodies <strong>and</strong> adjusted to the variety of physical <strong>and</strong> related emotional<br />
needs of students.<br />
7. Properly integrated social <strong>and</strong> religious program as a basis for application<br />
of Christian principles.<br />
EDUCATIONAL NEWS, PUBLICITY, AND INTERPRETATION<br />
The type of information that is distributed regularly by the Education<br />
Commission cannot be adequately described by the term, publicity. The Commission,<br />
following the resolution of the Southern Baptist Convention establishing<br />
the Education Commission adopted a policy of statement based upon actual<br />
facts, interpretation supported by reason, <strong>and</strong> a form of publication worthy of<br />
the respect of educators <strong>and</strong> recognized scholars in the various fields of education<br />
from the academy to the university <strong>and</strong> seminary. Although funds have<br />
been limited, especially during the depression years, the policy of the Commission,<br />
has been maintained. Ten years ago Southern Baptist College News<br />
<strong>and</strong> Views, a modest eight-page magazine, appeared for the first time. It was<br />
filled from cover to cover with educational information. Only seven issues<br />
were published during the first year. Nine have been issued each year after<br />
the first year. When funds are made available there will be an issue each month<br />
during the entire year. Some of our most distinguished Christian educators<br />
consented to contribute articles before the end of that first year. By the end<br />
of the next year additional writers, all writing on Christian Education from<br />
different points of view, were induced without compensation to write on topics<br />
suggested. By the end of the third year the magazine was being quoted by<br />
educators, by pastors, <strong>and</strong> by laymen working in the interest of Christian<br />
schools throughout the South. Today College News <strong>and</strong> Views is rendering a<br />
service in the field of Christian Education that had not been developed before.<br />
College presidents, faculty members, <strong>and</strong> many pastors have spoken of the influence<br />
of College News <strong>and</strong> Views in preparing the way for raising endowments,<br />
building libraries, religious education buildings, <strong>and</strong> chapels, <strong>and</strong> strengthening<br />
business administration. A new series of Christian Education Publications
82 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
was begun a year ago replacing the type of leaflet or tract used previously.<br />
Although the expense is somewhat greater the results have shown that a stronger<br />
appeal is made for our Christian schools. Substantial donations from Baptists<br />
<strong>and</strong> from others have resulted because of the influence of these educational<br />
publications. Statistical tables as a final part of this report is unmistakable<br />
evidence. Students, too, including <strong>hundred</strong>s of returning veterans, are coming<br />
to our Baptist colleges because these publications have fallen into their h<strong>and</strong>s.<br />
It is the hope of the Education Commission to exp<strong>and</strong> this type of service<br />
which in due time will yield yet larger returns.<br />
EDUCATIONAL SURVEY AND STATISTICS<br />
Educational surveys are made periodically <strong>and</strong> statistical tables based upon<br />
these are available for college presidents, business managers, <strong>and</strong> boards of<br />
trustees. These statistical tables in summary are prepared for publication in<br />
the Convention Annual. Surveys are used as a method of institutional measurement.<br />
St<strong>and</strong>ards are maintained more easily because executives from year to<br />
year review these surveys. Weak places in the organization, in finance, in enrollment,<br />
in equipment, in library, or in course of study are revealed. These<br />
are being strengthened when discovered. This service needs to be extended<br />
<strong>and</strong> it can <strong>and</strong> will be by the Commission as funds are made available.<br />
INTERRELATIONSHIPS<br />
Interrelationships include the co-operative activities of the Education Commission<br />
with other similar groups <strong>and</strong> with Baptist associations <strong>and</strong> conventions.<br />
Visiting associations, making reports on Christian Education, serving<br />
on the state <strong>and</strong> district program committees, <strong>and</strong> carrying the message of the<br />
Christian school to missionary societies are among the activities performed by<br />
the Commission through this committee. A distinct service is rendered by<br />
attendance when possible upon a Christian Education conference of other<br />
denominations. Among these are the Methodist <strong>and</strong> Presbyterian near Ridgecrest.<br />
State associations in several states hold conferences in which the Commission<br />
members take an active part.<br />
CHRISTIAN EDUCATION CONFERENCES<br />
The annual Christian Education Conference, at Ridgecrest, is being resumed<br />
this year. Three other Christian Education conferences, each in a separate<br />
region of the Convention territory, have been planned to meet a need that has<br />
been felt for several years. The plan has been adopted by the Education<br />
Commission <strong>and</strong> will be put into effect if funds are made available. It is<br />
planned to have a centrally located school seive as host to 19 others in the<br />
region who will send representatives. These will be president, dean, a faculty<br />
member or more, one trustee or more from each school, <strong>and</strong> local pastors.<br />
The program will be so designed as to advance the interests of Christian Education<br />
just as the Home Mission Board, the Foreign Mission Board, <strong>and</strong> B.T.U.<br />
promote their particular interests in annual conferences at Ridgecrest <strong>and</strong> in<br />
appropriately chosen areas of the Southern Baptist Convention territory.<br />
One central purpose guides all the activities of the Education Commission:<br />
to attract <strong>and</strong> educate Christian leaders in properly planned <strong>and</strong> adequately<br />
supported <strong>and</strong> successfully administered Christian schools for a world that<br />
needs more than ever before true Christian leadership if civilization is to endure.<br />
No SALARIED SECRETARY<br />
An expense fund of $4,800 has been allocated annually for the work of the<br />
Education Commission. This amount has permitted the Commission to function<br />
in a limited manner, but this amount has long been recognized as inadequate<br />
for the big task that lies ahead. There is no salaried officer. All funds<br />
are used to defray the expenses of the Commission, <strong>and</strong> a request is being- made<br />
for the allocation to be increased in order that the plan of the Education Commission<br />
may be enlarged <strong>and</strong> extended so that its services may be in keeping<br />
with the needs, opportunities, <strong>and</strong> responsibilities of our 60 Baptist schools<br />
<strong>and</strong> colleges. Enrollment because of the war dropped from 31,000 to 21,000,<br />
approximately. The enrollment during the present year has exceeded 35,000!<br />
This is the largest enrollment Baptist schools <strong>and</strong> colleges have ever had. Some<br />
of our schools are over crowded; others are too small to be efficient either<br />
educationally or financially. Consolidations <strong>and</strong> coordinations have been made<br />
in emergency situations. Departments have been added in some schools, dropped
PROCEEDINGS 83<br />
in others during these war years. Faculties have been uprooted because of war<br />
requirements, <strong>and</strong> buildings in some schools were turned over to the Federal<br />
Government. Now they have been returned to the schools for regular students.<br />
Reconditioning, even rebuilding, in a number of instances, is necessary. Trailers<br />
<strong>and</strong> homettes have been called into use to meet the emergency. Endowment<br />
income has shrunk from 25 to 50 percent varying with institutions because of<br />
low interest rates. More than ball" our colleges were inadequately endowed<br />
even before the decrease in interest rates. The Education Commission was not<br />
planned to be a money-raising agency but it was designed to carry out the<br />
fine purposes described in the previous sections of this report. The plan already<br />
functioning as vigorously as our limited funds have permitted has resulted<br />
in bringing the cause of Christian schools <strong>and</strong> colleges to the attention<br />
of our actual <strong>and</strong> potential Baptist school clientele.<br />
PEAK ENROLLMENT IN SEMINARIES AND TRAINING SCHOOL<br />
All three seminaries <strong>and</strong> the Woman's Missionary Training School have<br />
their largest enrollment in their history. There are 2320 students in these<br />
four schools. Faculties have been increased in an effort to care adequately<br />
for this large enrollment but extremely large classes have been assigned to<br />
many professors. It has now reached the point beyond which it will not be<br />
possible to take many more students unless larger lecture rooms can be provided<br />
<strong>and</strong> more faculty members employed.<br />
SENIOR COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES ARE CROWDED TO CAPACITY<br />
Just as the crowded conditions have been cited in the seminaries it is just<br />
as true of the senior colleges <strong>and</strong> universities. Four of the colleges <strong>and</strong> universities<br />
in this group have above 1000 students. One in this list has above<br />
3000. The five in order of enrollment follow: Baylor University, 3106; University<br />
of Richmond, 1969; Simmons University, 1297; Furman University,<br />
1169, <strong>and</strong> Wake Forest College, 110L Nine colleges <strong>and</strong> universities have<br />
enrolled 500 to 859. They are as follows: Howard College, 859; Mercer University,<br />
742; Oklahoma Baptist University, 714; Mississippi College, 679;<br />
Meredith College, 613; Ouachita College, 587; Stetson University, 581; <strong>and</strong><br />
Howard-Payne College, 574. Only one four-year college has fewer than 200<br />
students. Two four-year colleges have between 250 <strong>and</strong> 300. All others in<br />
this group have between 306 <strong>and</strong> 500. Some of our most efficient colleges are<br />
in this group. Their efficiency is based upon high scholarship in the faculty;<br />
sufficient endowment to retain recognized scholars in the faculty; modern<br />
equipment for instructional purposes; <strong>and</strong> adequate libraries. Some of the<br />
best colleges in the United States have limited their enrollment because it is<br />
now a well-known fact that education of the highest quality dem<strong>and</strong>s income<br />
sufficient to provide the administration with funds to procure <strong>and</strong> maintain<br />
the seven st<strong>and</strong>ards enumerated in this report.<br />
JUNIOR COLLEGES AND ACADEMIES<br />
Junior colleges <strong>and</strong> academies are not all crowded. Eight of the eighteen<br />
junior colleges all have sufficient enrollment to insure good classes, good variety<br />
of courses, a well-trained faculty, <strong>and</strong> efficient administration. The other ten<br />
should have more students or greatly increased endowment or allocations from<br />
state convention budgets to guarantee first class education. Junior college<br />
presidents <strong>and</strong> faculties are to be highly commended for the good work they<br />
are doing with the limited resources at their disposal.<br />
The military academies have done splendid work not only during peace<br />
time but during the war period. They have had the advantage of the other<br />
academies because of their easily adjusted program to war time or peace time.<br />

84 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
The student enrollment is now approximately 15,000 above the depression<br />
years of 1931-33. The regular student enrollment dropped during the war to<br />
21,000. Our schools are now ready to move forward as never before. The<br />
enrollment problem is solved. Endowment, buildings, <strong>and</strong> scholarship can now<br />
be the major problems. And they can be solved, too.<br />
SUMMER SCHOOL NOW REGULAR PART OF SCHOOL YEAH<br />
The short summer session once considered only a period for make-up work<br />
has become a regular quarter in the four-quarter system. Students are able<br />
to take their four-year course in three by attending school regularly for three<br />
years. Only eight of the 27 senior colleges <strong>and</strong> universities do not now conduct<br />
summer sessions. Twelve of the junior colleges <strong>and</strong> academies have not yet<br />
made the summer session a regular quarter. By maintaining school throughout<br />
the year there is constant use of equipment <strong>and</strong> educational return on the<br />
investment instead of letting buildings <strong>and</strong> equipment lie idle during the<br />
summer, which, incidentally is the time of year when the maintenance of buildings<br />
is least expensive.<br />
ENDOWMENTS ARE BEING INCREASED<br />
The statistical tables which are included in this report show that endowments<br />
are being increased in many of our colleges at a highly commendable rate. In<br />
others, however, the progress is slow, too slow. Campaigns are being conducted<br />
in many states in order to provide the funds necessary to afford superior<br />
educational opportunities to students who attend any of our Baptist schools.<br />
The present total amount of endowment of all of our schools <strong>and</strong> colleges is<br />
$32,060,284.22. While this amount seems large until it is compared with endowment<br />
funds of the groups of schools <strong>and</strong> colleges of other denominations or<br />
groups of state colleges <strong>and</strong> universities, not one of our Baptist universities has<br />
as much as $5,000,000. Wake Forest leads with an endowment of $3,100,322.72.<br />
The University of Richmond is second with $2,898,479.00. Furman University<br />
is third with $2,833,355.70; Baylor University is fourth with $2,814,383.00;<br />
Mercer University is fifth with $2,000,000.00. Five others have $1,000,000.00<br />
or more in this order: William Jewell, SI.412.972.47: Howard-Payne, $1,389,-<br />
344.76; Hardin-Simmons, 81,250,000.00; Mary Hardin-Baylor, $1,200,000.00;<br />
Stetson University, $1,000,000.00. All senior colleges with less than $500,000.00<br />
endowment are scarcely in a financial position to maintain st<strong>and</strong>ard education<br />
over a long period. Seven of our senior colleges have less than $500,000.00.<br />
Recent campaigns have added as much as fifty per cent to the permanent<br />
endowment. Campaigns are in progress this year in nearly all states either<br />
for endowment or for buildings for the colleges <strong>and</strong> universities. The largest<br />
campaign is in progress in North Carolina for Wake Forest College. The<br />
William Jewell campaign for $3,250,000.00 is second. Mercer University recently<br />
completed a successful endowment campaign <strong>and</strong> now has $2,000,000.00 in<br />
the endowment fund. Louisiana College is in a $2,000,000.00 campaign. Furman<br />
University, South Carolina, is in a $2,000,000.00 campaign, $1,000,000.00<br />
for endowment <strong>and</strong> $1,000,000.00 for buildings. The total amount sought in<br />
present campaigns for endowment <strong>and</strong> buildings for our Baptist colleges <strong>and</strong><br />
universities is $23,165,000.00. Should this entire amount be raised all of our<br />
Baptist schools would still have in the combined endowment funds less than<br />
either Harvard or Yale. Minimum st<strong>and</strong>ards have been the goal of many of<br />
our Baptist schools for years. Several of our colleges <strong>and</strong> universities are<br />
more than 100 years old. Their service to Christian civilization has been such<br />
as to attract attention <strong>and</strong> inspire confidence. They are laying big plans for the<br />
future. They are finding friends of Christian education who have large funds<br />
to bequeath, extensive estates to leave to .worthy educational institutions, <strong>and</strong><br />
state conventions in co-operation with the Southern Baptist Convention <strong>and</strong><br />
the leading churches of the South are turning their attention as never before<br />
to the Christian schools as the necessary sources for adequately trained leadership<br />
the world so sorely needs.<br />
GIFTS FROM STATE CONVENTIONS AND FROM OTHER SOURCES<br />
It has now become a policy of many state conventions to place Christian<br />
education in the budget. Churches in turn have placed education in the budget.<br />
Some schools have received almost $200,000 through the State Convention from<br />
year to year.

The Education Commission conducted a conference in Memphis preceding<br />
the meeting of the Executive Board of the Convention in order to ascertain<br />
the attitude of representative educators, pastors, <strong>and</strong> laymen regarding the<br />
services of the Commission. A careful study of the work of the Commission<br />
was presented to the special Survey Committee of the Executive Board o± the<br />
Convention. This was in response to a list of questions submitted by the burvey<br />
Committee. No definite amount was agreed upon after two conferences ol<br />
representatives of the Education Commission <strong>and</strong> the Survey Committee <strong>and</strong><br />
the Administrative Committee. A request was submitted for an amount sufficient<br />
to employ an Executive Secretary <strong>and</strong> an office secretary in addition to<br />
providing for travel <strong>and</strong> office expense. Since the Commission has never had a<br />
paid secretary <strong>and</strong> staff the amount suggested ($17,500) was such an increase<br />
over the $4,800 now required for expenses that no decision was reached at<br />
the last meeting. The following resolution expressed the sentiment by unanimous<br />
vote of college presidents, pastors <strong>and</strong> laymen m the Christian Education<br />
Conference sponsored by the Education Commission:<br />
Report of the Committee on Resolutions on July 13-14, 1945.<br />
The plight of the world today with all that it signifies <strong>and</strong> implies reveals<br />
the stern necessity <strong>and</strong> the supreme difficulty of. finding the way to universal<br />
peace <strong>and</strong> good will. . , » *<br />
World citizenship is the ultimate objective <strong>and</strong> democracy is the form ol<br />
government control that will work in realizing that objective.<br />
Christianity alone can provide the underlying motive, the true working<br />
principle, that conditions the establishment <strong>and</strong> maintenance of a democratic<br />
world order in which justice <strong>and</strong> righteousness are to prevail.<br />
Historically <strong>and</strong> factually Christian education <strong>and</strong> the Christian college of<br />
Liberal Arts are the tested <strong>and</strong> proven principal sources of supply of leadership<br />
for ou? churches <strong>and</strong> for those areas of human activity <strong>and</strong> human affairs<br />
that are most essential <strong>and</strong> influential for human betterment <strong>and</strong> welfare<br />
Southern Baptists in their Centennial Crusade <strong>and</strong> other evangelical bodies<br />
in like Sion C e ^dedicated themselves <strong>and</strong> redoubled their efforts <strong>and</strong><br />
Si cooperatrve Baptist organizations, institutions, agencies <strong>and</strong> individuals<br />
are urged to enlisfwholehlartedly in the campaign to proclaim <strong>and</strong> promote<br />
the Christian way of life for all men everywhere.<br />
In furtherance of the preeminently useful <strong>and</strong> influential part Baptists<br />
have played in forming <strong>and</strong> fashioning the principles <strong>and</strong> the practices of freedom<br />
in Hbertv-loving America <strong>and</strong> in keeping with the universal validity <strong>and</strong><br />

56. The report of the Committee on Negro Ministerial Education,<br />
presented by Theodore F. Adams, Virginia, <strong>and</strong> discussed by T. B.<br />
Maston, Texas, was adopted:<br />
NEGRO MINISTERIAL EDUCATION<br />
From the beginning of its work, the Committee on Negro Ministerial Education<br />
has focused most of its attention on the program of the training of a<br />
Christian leadership. It has not been unmindful of the ramifications of an increasingly<br />
complex problem of race relations, nor has it overlooked the many<br />
pressing needs of the Negro racial group. Its interest in these things has<br />
tempted the Committee at many points to indulge in a program in terms of the<br />
complexities of these problems as they exist. It has found it necessary to devote<br />
considerable attention to the study of many related items in order to arrive<br />
at an intelligent appraisal of the central problem of its consideration. Certainly<br />
the exigencies of world conditions have brought into bold relief many things<br />
that cry out for solution.<br />
Your Committee has felt, however, that Southern Baptists could make<br />
their greatest contribution to the well being of this neighbor race by concentrating<br />
their assistance at the point of a most urgent need <strong>and</strong> where we believe<br />
our conribution will be most consequential in relieving many other phases of the<br />
Negro's problem. We have worked with an abiding conviction that an enlightening<br />
Christian leadership, with the sympathetic cooperation of the Christian<br />
forces of other races will be able to lead the Negro people into a more<br />
abundant life.<br />
A careful examination of the educational status of the Negro ministry reveals<br />
appalling paucity of training for the task of leadership which is thrust upon it.<br />
About 1% of the Negro Baptist ministers have college <strong>and</strong> seminary training.<br />
Less than 6% have as much as a college background as equipment for their<br />
life's work. Approximately 90% of the 24,000 Negro Baptist ministers havo<br />
nothing more than an elementary school education. In view of these facts,<br />
it is not surprising that the leadership of the Negro race is tending to pass from<br />
the ministry to other areas where qualifications for leadership are more adequate.<br />
Your Committee has sought to guide the interest of all of our forces into<br />
constructive channels of service to Negro education in general, <strong>and</strong> Negro<br />
ministerial education in particular. It has maintained contact with Northern<br />
Eaptists who are engaged in maintaining more than 20 institutions of learning<br />
in the southl<strong>and</strong>, <strong>and</strong> who are alert to the opportunities <strong>and</strong> obligations for<br />
training a Negro leadership.<br />
We have kept in touch with the major Negro Baptist groups as we have<br />
sought to engage in this common task. We earnestly solicit the sympathetic<br />
<strong>and</strong> active cooperation of our churches <strong>and</strong> the agencies of our Convention<br />
as we move along together to do a worthy work in this area of our Master's<br />
Kingdom.<br />
Respectfully submitted,<br />

57. The report of the Commission on the American Baptist Theological<br />
Seminary was presented by Chairman E. P. Alldredge, Tennessee,<br />
<strong>and</strong> after an address by President Ralph W. Riley was<br />
adopted.
PROCEEDINGS 91<br />
AMERICAN BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL<br />
SEMINARY<br />
1945-1946<br />
The Commission on the American Baptist Theological Seminary herewith<br />
presents its thirty-second annual report, <strong>and</strong> calls attention to the twenty-second<br />
year of the joint operation of this seminary.<br />
The year of 1945-46 has been marked by great growth <strong>and</strong> improvement<br />
along several lines.<br />
Cash Receipts: As will be seen in the financial statement which follows this<br />
report, the seminary has experienced its greatest year of financial gains. The<br />
regular cash receipts, mostly from the Co-operative Program, increased from<br />
$43,753.17 in 1944 to $77,205.03 in 1945—a net gain of some $33,451.86 for<br />
the year. In addition to this unprecedented increase in the regular receipts, in<br />
1945 the seminary was given large special funds, designated for new buildings,<br />
amounting to $87,365.49. In this large sum was the Sunday School Board's<br />
generous gift of $25,000 <strong>and</strong> the Home Mission Board's great gift of $60,000.<br />
Also a gift of $1,000 from First Church, Winston-Salem, N. C, <strong>and</strong> another<br />
$1,000 from the W.M.U. of one of our fine churches in Florida. That is to say,<br />
the receipts of the Commission in 1945 reached the gr<strong>and</strong> total of $164,570.52.<br />
Increased Enrollment: In spite of the severe limitations in dormitory facil<br />
ties, moreover, the number of students enrolled in the seminary showed another<br />
great gain during the past year. That is to say, in the two years of President<br />
Riley's administration, the number of students in the seminary has a little more<br />
than doubled—in spite of the fact that, as yet, our new dormitory facilities are<br />
not available <strong>and</strong> we are crowded to the limit. In 1944-45, President Riley's<br />
first year, for example, the enrollment increased from 43 to 63; <strong>and</strong> in 1945-46<br />
the enrollment has gone on up to 87, forcing some 20 students to go out in<br />
town for boarding facilities. Thanks to the Home Mission Board's great gift,<br />
we expect to complete the new Lawrence Class Room Building by the end of<br />
June <strong>and</strong> to be able to care for 125 students by the coming October—<strong>and</strong> the<br />
chances are that more than 125 students will be seeking entrance to the seminary<br />
in the fall of 1946.<br />
Mounting Costs: Along with our greatly increased financial receipts, we<br />
have been met on every side with mounting costs in the operation of the seminary<br />
<strong>and</strong> the seminary farm <strong>and</strong> the construction of all new buildings.<br />
Operation of the Seminary in 1944-45—$22,823.26.<br />
Operation of the Seminary in 1945-46—$24,802.67.<br />
The Home Mission Board's gift building was planned to cost $60,000;<br />
but the actual cost will be nearer $90,000.<br />
Our Central Heating Plant was planned to cost $24,000, but it is actually<br />
costing us $45,000.<br />
In the midst of our need for new buildings, we have been forced to pause<br />
<strong>and</strong> lay a new <strong>six</strong>-inch water main, just completed, at a total cost of<br />
almost $15,000.<br />
In addition, we are now called on to spend perhaps $15,000 to install a<br />
new sewage system <strong>and</strong> perhaps another $5,000 for roads <strong>and</strong> concrete<br />
walks.<br />
The total cost of the two new buildings now under construction will be<br />
$75,000 more than the most careful estimates we could obtain.<br />
Type of Seminary Students: We are making very little progress in the type<br />
of students at the Seminary, as the following tabulation will indicate:<br />
Total students enrolled 1945-46 87<br />
Students having completed full college course 3<br />
Students having one or more years in college .'. 7<br />
Students having completed high school 13<br />
Students still in the high school grades 46<br />

Our New Building Program: The Commission has gone into every angle<br />
of the buildings which will be required for the operation of this Seminary. In<br />
order to take care of 300 students at this Seminary, we must complete the<br />
two buildings now under construction <strong>and</strong> make definite plans for the erection<br />
of seven more buildings, as follows:<br />
The Library Building<br />
Two more dormitories<br />
A Great Chapel<br />
The President's Home<br />
A Teachers' Apartment House<br />
A Married Students' Apartment<br />
The President of the Seminary believes that he can have 300 students in<br />
actual attendance by 1950—if Southern Baptists will provide these buildings.<br />
It is our obligation, therefore, to make definite plans for these seven additional<br />
buildings, <strong>and</strong> to erect every one of them by October, 1950. We had hoped<br />
<strong>and</strong> planned to erect our new <strong>and</strong> desperately needed Library Building, also<br />
the President's Home, by October, 1946. But the Government has issued orders<br />
forbidding the beginning of any new construction, except for war veterans<br />
Also we still lack some 835,000 having the funds in sight for these two new<br />
buildings. In the meantime <strong>and</strong> because the Seminary is located on the very<br />
outskirts of the city, we are in desperate need of the two great apartment houses<br />
which we have planned—one for the <strong>six</strong> teachers <strong>and</strong> their families, <strong>and</strong> one<br />
for the married students <strong>and</strong> their families. All the seven new buildings now<br />
planned for this Seminary will cost Southern Baptists approximately $560,000<br />
or $140,000 a year for the next four years. But if this Seminary is to have<br />
300 students by 1950—300 out of the 1.500 young Negro Baptist ministers<br />
who ought to be in the Seminary—then we must go on with this building program<br />
<strong>and</strong> never slacken or halt our speed until all these new buildings crown<br />
Seminary hill in Nashville.<br />

Dean J. Wash Watts. Extracts were read by P. H. Anderson of the<br />
faculty on whose motion it was adopted:<br />
BAPTIST BIBLE INSTITUTE<br />
ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1945-46<br />
DUKE K. McCALL, President<br />
HISTORY<br />
The Baptist Bible Institute was organized by the Southern Baptist Convention<br />
in session in New Orleans in 1917, <strong>and</strong> opened its doors in October, 1918.<br />
Before its opening the school acquired the property which had housed<br />
H. Sophie Newcomb Woman's College. Additional property was added later<br />
for the housing of students <strong>and</strong> faculty. The debt incurred in securing this<br />
property continued to hamper the development of the new institution until<br />
August 24, 1943.<br />
The school has had three presidents: Dr. Byron H. DeMent, Dr. W. W.<br />
Hamilton, <strong>and</strong> Dr. Duke K. McCall, who resigned, effective May 1, 1946, to<br />
become Executive Secretary of the Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist<br />
Convention. Under the limitations imposed by debt, all three administrations<br />
have struggled to provide the types of training needed by a widely varied constituency.<br />
The combination of courses necessary to meet this need has been a<br />
goal accepted by each; but attainment has been gradual, preparation for it in<br />
curriculum, faculty, <strong>and</strong> student classification being made as circumstances<br />
would permit.<br />
LOCATION AND PURPOSE<br />
Unlike the other two seminaries owned <strong>and</strong> operated by Southern Baptists,<br />
the location of the Baptist Bible Institute was determined by the weakness of<br />
the Baptist cause, rather than by its strength. Until recent years, southern<br />
Louisiana was the despair of Baptist mission efforts. Indeed, the city of New<br />
Orleans was specifically designated as one of the three objects for which the<br />
Home Mission Board was established in 1845.<br />
Along with the missionary aspects of the location of the Baptist Bible<br />
Institute, there was the definite purpose to provide a practical training ground<br />
for a large number of students. By the use of a number of busses <strong>and</strong> extensive
98 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
other equipment, as well as rather intricate organization, it is possible for the<br />
students of the Baptist Bible Institute to be given supervised mission experience.<br />
In addition, supervised work in the larger churches of New Orleans is available.<br />
Many ministerial students also serve as student pastors.<br />
It was anticipated that the students of the Baptist Bible Institute would<br />
provide a missionary force for southern Louisiana. Space prohibits the relation<br />
of the achievements of these students. In passing, it may be noted that in the<br />
twenty-eight years of the life of the Baptist Bible Institute, the number of<br />
Baptists in New Orleans has increased from 1,256 to 14,000, <strong>and</strong> the number<br />
of churches from <strong>six</strong> to thirty-seven.<br />
CHARACTER OF THE SCHOOL<br />
Dr. B. H. DeMent, who had taught on the faculty of the Southern Baptist<br />
Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, chose that institution as his model<br />
for the new school, of which he became the first president. From its beginning,<br />
the character of the Baptist Bible Institute has been that of a theological<br />
seminary. It has provided a set curriculum, for which degrees could be earned<br />
on the basis of prerequisite college work.<br />
No discussion of the character of the Baptist Bible Institute in the past or<br />
the future would be complete without an emphasis upon the fact that special<br />
classes <strong>and</strong> special organization are provided for the non-college graduate student.<br />
That is to say that a special reserved section of the school's life belongs<br />
to these students whose academic preparation is limited. They cannot be<br />
crowded out or overlooked.<br />
The Baptist Bible Institute is a member of the American Association of<br />
Theological Schools, <strong>and</strong> has its Bachelor of Theology, Bachelor of Divinity,<br />
Bachelor of Religious Education, <strong>and</strong> Master of Religious Education degrees<br />
accredited through the Accrediting Commission of the State of New York. Its<br />
organization is in terms of one school made up of five departments: (1) A<br />
Seminary Department for ordained or licensed men only, offering the Th.B., B.D.,<br />
Th.M., Th.D. degrees. (2) A Religious Education Department, offering the<br />
B.R.E. <strong>and</strong> M.R.E. degrees. (3) A Music Department, offering a major in Music<br />
for the B.R.E. <strong>and</strong> M.R.E. degrees. (4) A Missionary Education Department,<br />
offering the B.R.E. <strong>and</strong> M.R.E. degrees to c<strong>and</strong>idates for the mission fields, or<br />
those especially interested in missions (5) A Christian Training Department,<br />
where certificates are awarded to students, regardless of academic background,<br />
on completion of <strong>six</strong>ty semester hours of work, which they may in large measure<br />
elect according to their needs.<br />

The resident student body includes students from twenty different states.<br />
The resident enrollment of 338 is the largest in the history of the school. This<br />
figure would be larger but for the limitations of housing. Many have been<br />
turned away who would have enrolled, had there been space for them.<br />
FUTURE PROGRAM<br />
1. Financial needs.<br />
A theological seminary is in an ideal financial balance when it has sufficient<br />
endowment to make up for the fluctuations in the Co-operative Program, as well<br />
as to supplement the income from that source. A minimum of two million<br />
dollars' endowment should be provided for this seminary. The present endowment<br />
is $456.12.<br />
2. Equipment needs.<br />
The Baptist Bible Institute has slightly more than $150,000 in h<strong>and</strong> for the<br />
erection of a new men's dormitory. Construction of this dormitory is under<br />
way- It is anticipated that it will be available for the opening of school in<br />
September, 1946.<br />
A modern apartment building to cost not less than $250,000 is a pressing<br />
need.<br />
A new library to cost at least $150,000 should be provided to house the<br />
many valuable volumes at the earliest possible date.<br />
3. Faculty needs.<br />
During the past year, Dr. Eugene N. Patterson, associate professor of<br />
Practical Theology, <strong>and</strong> Mr. Elliot Alex<strong>and</strong>er, instructor in Music, were added<br />
to the faculty. Miss Helen Falls replaced Miss Ruby Daniel as Dean of Women.<br />
While the student-faculty ratio of the Baptist Bible Institute (<strong>forty</strong>-four<br />
students to one professor) is the best among Southern Baptists, it still does not<br />
meet the requirements of the accrediting agencies.<br />
At least two additional professors are needed in the immediate future.<br />
4. Student needs.<br />
The ever increasing dem<strong>and</strong> from students who desire to study in the<br />
Baptist Bible Institute serves to underscore the request of this institution for<br />
increased attention <strong>and</strong> contribution from the Southern Baptist Convention.<br />
CONCLUSION<br />
Already the Baptist Bible Institute has justified the vision of Southern Baptists<br />
in establishing it. To appreciate fully this fact the 1945-46 enrollment<br />
of 338 students should be compared with the average enrollment of seminaries<br />
in the United States. The average of accredited seminaries was 84 plus in<br />
1943-44, <strong>and</strong> the average of all seminaries was 67 plus.<br />
The Baptist Bible Institute has kept faith with the desire of Southern<br />
Baptists for an institution which would provide the best training for all types<br />
of students. It has kept <strong>and</strong> expects to keep its doors open to all students<br />
called of God, while at the same time meeting the requirements of an accredited<br />
theological seminary.<br />
The development of accredited seminary courses has been a response to the<br />
need of its constituency. For a number of years approximately fifty per cent of<br />
the student body has been college trained. Many students in this group were<br />
pastors who could not leave their pastorates to attend another seminary.<br />
C<strong>and</strong>idates for appointment by the Foreign Mission Board are required to<br />
complete a st<strong>and</strong>ard seminary course. During these last war years the only<br />
acceptable basis for dealing with government agencies has been as an accredited<br />
seminary. For example, before accepting the many Baptist Bible Institute<br />
applicants for a chaplain's commission in the Navy, a careful investigation of<br />
the quality of the school's work was made.
100 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
It has become increasingly clear that Southern Baptists must not only<br />
accept the seminary status of the Baptist Bible Institute, but must establish<br />
this rating as a permanent <strong>and</strong> obvious fact in the life of the institution.<br />
RECOMMENDATIONS<br />
In their annual meeting of February 13, 1946, after one year of careful<br />
study, the Board of Trustees of the Baptist Bible Institute unanimously <strong>and</strong><br />
heartily recommend that the Southern Baptist Convention adopt the following<br />
motion, as required by Article XI of the Charter of the Baptist Bible Institute,<br />
Inc.<br />
"The Southern Baptist Convention, in annual meeting assembled, does<br />
hereby consent that Article I of the Charter of the Baptist Bible Institute, Inc.,<br />
in the City of New Orleans <strong>and</strong> State of Louisiana, be amended so as to read as<br />
follows:<br />
Article I<br />
"The name <strong>and</strong> title of this corporation shall be the NEW ORLEANS BAP<br />
TIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY, <strong>and</strong> by that name <strong>and</strong> title it shall have<br />
<strong>and</strong> enjoy succession <strong>and</strong> existence for the term of ninety-nine years from the<br />
date of this act of incorporation; unless duly dissolved by a vote representing<br />
two-thirds of its members present at any special meeting held for that purpose,<br />
after <strong>six</strong>ty calendar days' notice by mail to each member at his last known<br />
address."<br />
The Baptist Bible Institute Quartette sang: "Blessed Is He That<br />
Readeth" (Coleman) <strong>and</strong> "Only Trusting Jesus" (McKinney).<br />
Chaplain Felix Arnold, Mississippi, sang "The Stranger of<br />
Galilee."<br />

faculty.<br />
SOUTHWESTERN BAPTIST<br />
THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY<br />
ANNUAL REPORT<br />
E. D. HEAD, President<br />
Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary was chartered March 14, 1908.<br />
It functioned on the campus of Baylor University until the summer of 1910,<br />
when it was moved to Fort Worth, Texas. Dr. B. H. Carroll, founder <strong>and</strong><br />
fi st president, served the institution until his death November 11, 1914. In<br />
February, 1915, Dr. L. R. Scarborough came to the presidency, <strong>and</strong> continued<br />
in this capacity until his retirement in August, 1942. In 1915 the two new<br />
departments of Sacred Music <strong>and</strong> Religious Education were added. These were<br />
enlarged into the Schools of Sacred Music <strong>and</strong> Religious Education in 1921.<br />
Hence the Seminary came into full capacity for the training of a leadership for<br />
all phases of church life.<br />
As we come to the close of the thirty-eighth year of the history of Southwestern<br />
Baptist Theological Seminary, we are inexpressibly grateful to God<br />
for His providential direction. These have been years of His right h<strong>and</strong>.<br />
Through sunshine <strong>and</strong> shadow, sorrow <strong>and</strong> song, blood, sweat, <strong>and</strong> tears, He<br />
has brought us to a high point of vantage.<br />
The enrollment for the session 1945-46 has reached an all-time record of<br />
1,195, exceeding the total for the previous year by 120. When considered by<br />
schools, we find 658 in the School of Theology—624 men <strong>and</strong> 34 women; 486
PROCEEDINGS 101<br />
in the School of Religious Education—96 men <strong>and</strong> 390 women; 111 in the<br />
School of Sacred Music—40 men <strong>and</strong> 71 women. These came to us from 33<br />
states, the District of Columbia, <strong>and</strong> 5 foreign countries. We have welcomed<br />
515 new students to the campus this year. Forty-two graduated at our summer<br />
school commencement in July, 1945, <strong>and</strong> so far 153 have made application for<br />
graduation at our commencement in May, 1946.<br />
We received from the Co-operative Program for the calendar year 1945,<br />
$168,174.07. Other sources of financial income added to this figure brought<br />
the total of gross receipts to $258,560.99. The Seminary endowment, conservatively<br />
estimated, still st<strong>and</strong>s at the figure of $1,750,000. We have stayed<br />
well within the bounds of the operating budget for this year.<br />
The movement for the Scarborough-Truett Memorial Building initiated by<br />
the alumni of Southwestern moves on toward triumphant consummation. At<br />
this date we have $313,027.34 in cash which has been paid on the $500,000, the<br />
objective we are striving to reach. There is a balance in cash <strong>and</strong> pledges<br />
amounting to $178,406.16, leaving us short of the goal $8,566.50. In great<br />
appreciation of what has been achieved, Mr. William Fleming has already paid<br />
his pledge of $250,000. We expect to announce that we are well over the top<br />
by the time of the Convention.<br />
The scholarship fund, which is provided largely by the women of Texas, has<br />
reached the total of $6,756. Sixty-two young women are attending the Seminary<br />
this year by the aid of scholarships, either partial or full. The cash value of<br />
a scholarship covering the full expenses for a session is $360.50.<br />
There are 318 who have gone as missionaries from this institution—:230<br />
foreign missionaries <strong>and</strong> 88 in the homel<strong>and</strong>. Chaplains from this Seminary,<br />
in World War II, totaled 428. In all phases of the service of World War II<br />
there were 542 young men <strong>and</strong> women from our Seminary family.<br />
Two special weeks, scheduled in our calendar, always st<strong>and</strong> out with signal<br />
meaning, namely, the revival week in the fall, <strong>and</strong> the week devoted to the<br />
Holl<strong>and</strong> Foundation Lectures <strong>and</strong> other addresses, the first week in February.<br />
Our speaker for the revival week, October 1-5,'was Dr. J. D. Grey, pastor of<br />
the First Baptist Church, New Orleans, Louisiana. Dr. J. B. Weatherspoon,<br />
Professor of Homiletics, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, delivered the<br />
Holl<strong>and</strong> Lectures on the general theme,'"Apostolic Preaching." At the morning<br />
hours of this same week, Dr. R. E. Bell gave the Founder's Day address; Dr.<br />
M. T. Rankin, the Mission Day message; Secretary M. A. Huggins, two addresses<br />
directed particularly to the preacher. We record our inexpressible gratitude<br />
to all of these men who so richly informed <strong>and</strong> effectively inspired us all.<br />
You will be interested to know that progress is already being made toward<br />
a cash objective of $250,000 for a building for the School of Religious Education.<br />
Grateful are we to the Sunday School Board for an initial gift of $25,000.<br />
Recently the Woman's Missionary Union of the South pledged $25,000. The<br />
Religious Education Association of the Southwest has pledged itself to raise<br />
$25,000. Some other smaller amounts have been coming in, to bring the total<br />
in cash <strong>and</strong> pledges to $79,039.99.<br />
As a result of the thorough work of the Survey Committee of the Executive<br />
Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention, this Seminary, along with<br />
the other two, is included in a long-range program to meet capital needs. The<br />
total contemplated in this convention year for this institution is $450,000.<br />
The full amount in view is $3,000,000. All of this must be channeled through<br />
the Co-operative Program.<br />
We are grateful that increased financial receipts have enabled us to make<br />
a number of improvements in the physical equipment of our plant. Buildings<br />
have been painted within <strong>and</strong> without, including cottages <strong>and</strong> apartments.<br />
Practically all available space left in Fort Worth Hall has been converted into<br />
bedrooms to care for more students. Several needed improvements have been<br />
made in the Woman's Building through recent gifts of the W.M.U. of Texas.<br />
These include the refurnishing of the reception room, the re-upholstering of<br />
furniture in guest rooms <strong>and</strong> offices, <strong>and</strong> tile flooring for the second floor hall.<br />
The Seminary is now operating a modem, well-equipped cafeteria, this being<br />
necessitated because of the inadequacy of our dining room when operated on<br />
the old plan. Yet almost countless other needs clamor for attention—the<br />
elevators, the campus, more beautiful l<strong>and</strong>scaping <strong>and</strong> lighting. Why not a
102 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
white way around this campus? More living quarters—all rooms in the dormitories<br />
are now reserved for next September, with a considerable waiting list.<br />
The library reading room is wholly inadequate. More classrooms is the cry.<br />
Our teachers do not have classes; they have congregations.<br />
We are gratified at the reception given Professor Ellis Carnett, Director<br />
the School of Music. The faculty, student body, <strong>and</strong> our great denominational<br />
constituency, near <strong>and</strong> far, have given enthusiastic acclaim to his election <strong>and</strong><br />
wise direction of this strategic school.<br />
Dr. Floy Barnard, in her capacity as Dean of Women, is going forward<br />
in glorious fashion. She has come to this position for just such a time as this.<br />
The spirit of the entire Seminary family is wholesome <strong>and</strong> healthy. The<br />
faculty is making notable progress in scholarly attainments <strong>and</strong> wide-reaching<br />
ministry, being ever in dem<strong>and</strong> for services far beyond that which time allows.<br />
The student body, in spite of crowded conditions, is maintaining high morale<br />
<strong>and</strong> manifesting genuine sportsmanship.<br />
It has become already a truism that we are entering upon a new era. The<br />
year through which we have just passed marked the close of the old <strong>and</strong> the<br />
beginning of the new. It is a day of released power. All that matters is the<br />
h<strong>and</strong>s at the controls. We shall not have trustworthy h<strong>and</strong>s at these controls<br />
if such h<strong>and</strong>s are not directed by the nail-pierced h<strong>and</strong>s of Christ. No h<strong>and</strong> is<br />
safe if it is not under the pressure of the scar in His h<strong>and</strong>s. Keep the atomic<br />
bomb a secret! Impossible! Other nations have sense. No secret is dangerous<br />
if under the proper control.<br />
This institution finds justification for its life <strong>and</strong> ministry right at this<br />
point. "A supreme peril threatens this generation. It is the peril of a spiritual<br />
vacuum, the opening of a hollow void in the souls of men. In the lives of<br />
multitudes of people an appalling emptiness is forming." "The only people who<br />
can meet the present crisis are men <strong>and</strong> women who have seen life's meaning<br />
<strong>and</strong> experienced its reality in Jesus Christ. What our generation with its<br />
haunting vacuum needs more than anything else is to learn how to become sons<br />
of God by inward renewal."<br />
God is speaking to us through the lips, the pens, the very knuckles of scores<br />
of young people who are knocking at the doors of this Seminary, reminding us<br />
that God has called them, they have found His will for their lives; <strong>and</strong> we<br />
cannot receive them because there is no place for them. Southern Baptists<br />
had better listen to these young people. It is their hour of destiny; it is their<br />
time to go up <strong>and</strong> possess the l<strong>and</strong>. No little thinking or planning, no limited<br />
horizons are sufficient now.<br />
The following is the statement with which Dr. L. R. Scarborough closed<br />
his book, A Modern School of the Prophets. It has even stronger appeal now:<br />
"Surely, it is God's will for this Seminary to be enlarged <strong>and</strong> its needs<br />
provided. Surely, in the unfolding days ahead it will become man's will<br />
<strong>and</strong> the funds will be provided. I should like to see it done while I live:<br />
<strong>and</strong>, if not while I live, in a little while after I take up my residence in<br />
heaven.<br />
"The Seminary's needs have been pressed into every drop of blood that<br />
has coursed my veins for thirty years <strong>and</strong> have been on the ends of the<br />
nerves of my physical being <strong>and</strong> have been wrought into every brain cell,<br />
<strong>and</strong> have found their way into every prayer <strong>and</strong> into every particle of life<br />
for these thirty years. ... I have carried it on, poorly enough indeed, but<br />
my direction has always been upward <strong>and</strong> onward <strong>and</strong> outward. I should<br />
like to pass my part of the Seminary life on into the h<strong>and</strong>s of others better<br />
equipped, more largely endowed, more thoroughly lashed to the heart of<br />
the Redeemer, more hot-hearted <strong>and</strong> missionary <strong>and</strong> co-operant, <strong>and</strong> with<br />
the prayer that others who take the torch may pass it on better equipped<br />
<strong>and</strong> enlarged in every way, but always true <strong>and</strong> loyal to the Lord Jesus<br />
Christ <strong>and</strong> to all the involvements <strong>and</strong> expectations of his truth for the<br />
enlargement of his kingdom."<br />
Brethren, there is a grave out yonder in Rose Hill Cemetery, Fort Worth,<br />
Texas. Dr. L. R. Scarborough calls to us from that grave. Better still, he<br />
calls to us from heaven itself. Not only does his flaming soul warm ours today.<br />
The voice of Dr. B. H. Carroll, mighty champion of the doctrine in faith <strong>and</strong>
PROCEEDINGS 103<br />
life, calls to us. The golden-voiced preacher, who served as President of this<br />
Board of Trustees for many years, Dr. George W. Truett, calls to us. But<br />
beyond all these, an innumerable company calls. Most comm<strong>and</strong>ing of all—<br />
God calls!<br />
God help us to match this hour with great vision, great consecration, great<br />
provision!<br />

SOUTHERN BAPTIST<br />
THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY<br />
ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1945-46<br />
ELLIS A. FULLER, President <strong>and</strong> Financial Agent<br />
You will allow me to express my gratitude to God for the many evidences<br />
of his divine favor upon the Seminary during another year. He has showered<br />
blessings continuously upon us. Among the richest of his blessings has been his<br />
loving care of Doctors Charles S. Gardner, John R. Sampey <strong>and</strong> W. O. Carver, the<br />
faithful servants who have given their lives to the Seminary in a peculiar way.<br />
Dr. Sampey has completed his book, "Memoirs of John R. Sampey." He is<br />
confined to his bed most of the time, but is mentally vigorous <strong>and</strong> profoundly<br />
concerned about all the affairs of the worldr It is glorious that a man's<br />
constructive ministry does not end when old age dem<strong>and</strong>s that he give up the<br />
responsibilities <strong>and</strong> physical activities of life. Anyone who sits by Dr. Sampey's<br />
bed as a visitor goes away purified in his devotions, refreshed in his spirit <strong>and</strong><br />
stimulated in his Christian purposes. Dr. Sampey's continuing ministry is vital<br />
<strong>and</strong> effective, although it is of necessity quite different from his ministry during<br />
the days of his physical vigor. It is a ministry of spiritual fragrance, idealism<br />
<strong>and</strong> inspiration.<br />
Dr. Gardner <strong>and</strong> Dr. Carver are enriching the world by similar ministries,<br />
but they are strong enough in body to continue to discharge many of the<br />
duties which are incident to active <strong>and</strong> vigorous service in Christ's name.<br />
Particularly is this true of Dr. Carver. The Kingdom of God has no greater<br />
asset than the lives of these faithful men. In deed <strong>and</strong> in truth, they continue<br />
to serve.<br />
ATTENDANCE<br />
Our attendance this year has broken all records. The wartime prosperity<br />
through which we are passing <strong>and</strong> the G.I. Bill of Rights, make it possible for<br />
many students who have longed for Seminary training but were hindered by<br />
lack of funds, to come to the Seminary. The chief factor in this increase has<br />
been the realization on the part of many young men <strong>and</strong> women that the<br />
Gospel is God's only power unto salvation. Many of our G.I.'s made the decision<br />
to preach while in the thick of battle. They have testified that nothing<br />
but Christianity, sponsored by people who are willing to go all the way with<br />
Christ, can bring security to the human race for this world <strong>and</strong> the next.<br />
Nothing is more encouraging than the prevalent conviction that humanitarianism<br />
is not enough, that it is the fruit <strong>and</strong> not the root of Christianity. The students<br />
are saying with renewed emphasis that we must have changed men„<strong>and</strong><br />
women before we can have a better world.<br />
Our attendance this year has reached the high mark of 679. This number<br />
does not include the students' wives, the young women of the Training School<br />
<strong>and</strong> the students of the School of Church Music, who are studying in our classrooms.<br />
We have approximately 1,000 students enrolled for study.
104 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
BUILDING PROGRAM<br />
In the proposed building program it was necessary to get expert advice in<br />
locating the prospective buildings. We employed Olmstead Brothers, Brookline,<br />
Massachusetts, the l<strong>and</strong>scape architects who surveyed the campus <strong>and</strong> placed<br />
the present buildings, to advise us as to where the new buildings should be<br />
erected. We do not yet have their recommendation, but we are happy to report<br />
that we have this expert counsel <strong>and</strong> advice to make sure that the beauty of the<br />
campus will be enhanced <strong>and</strong> not marred by the new buildings.<br />
The chapel was originally planned to be erected where we are now building<br />
the aditional wing to Norton Hall. It was obvious that our need for additional<br />
classrooms was so urgent, <strong>and</strong> that the originally planned chapel was so<br />
inadequate, that we hardly had any choice in the matter of utilizing the space<br />
on the northwest corner of Norton Hall for the site of the much-needed classrooms.<br />
By the time the Convention meets in Miami, we hope to have in h<strong>and</strong> the<br />
full amount of $250,000 which the alumni set out to raise for the building of<br />
the memorial chapel. It is our hope that we can begin this chapel this summer.<br />
The only uncertainty grows out of Government' regulations with respect<br />
to building.<br />
We have on h<strong>and</strong> about $35,000 which have been given by friends for the<br />
erection of twenty-four additional bedrooms to Barnard Hall, the dormitory<br />
for girls in the School of Church Music. Our builders feel reasonably certain<br />
that these rooms will be ready for occupancy by September 1.<br />
We have on h<strong>and</strong>, also, $35,000 for the erection of an apartment dormitory<br />
for furloughed missionaries. It is our hope that this money will build an<br />
apartment house with <strong>six</strong> house-keeping units <strong>and</strong> that this building can be<br />
completed by September 1.<br />
Our outst<strong>and</strong>ing need is for apartment dormitories for married students.<br />
It will take two buildings the size of Mullins Hall to provide housing facilities<br />
for our piesent student body. In all probability, our l<strong>and</strong>scape architects will<br />
recommend that we plan to build two separate dormitories rather than one large<br />
dormitory. Olmstead Brothers will recommend the proper location for these<br />
buildings.<br />
If Southern Baptists can reach their goal of $6,000,000 for the Co-operative<br />
Program in 1946, the Southern Seminary will receive this year $450,000 for<br />
capital needs. If the Miami Convention approves the proposed goal for 1947,<br />
the Southern Seminary will receive $967,000 for capital needs. These facts<br />
inspire us to hope for at least one of the apartment dormitories in the near<br />
future.<br />
Our dining room is too small. There is no satisfactory way to enlarge it.<br />
We hope to increase its efficiency by installing a cafeteria. In this way we can<br />
serve a larger number of students without increasing its size.<br />
Likewise, the kitchen is too small, but we hope by modernizing it to increase<br />
its efficiency to the extent that it will meet our actual needs.<br />
We have no funds to build an infirmary. The health of the entire student<br />
body will be constantly in danger until we get an adequate infirmary. We are<br />
using at present <strong>six</strong> bedrooms on one floor of Mullins Hall as an infirmary for<br />
a student body of about 1,000. In case of an epidemic, we would be absolutely<br />
helpless. We will ask Olmstead Brothers to determine the proper location<br />
for the infirmary <strong>and</strong> pray that in some way funds will be provided to<br />
build it.<br />
The second floor of the wing in Norton Hall set apart for professors'<br />
offices was left unfinished. We have converted about half of the floor into<br />
professors' offices <strong>and</strong> hope to convert the other half into offices this summer.<br />
This will give the Seminary adequate office space for its teaching staff. The<br />
new wing, which is now in process of construction, will meet some definite<br />
needs of the Seminary. On the first floor we shall operate a student supply<br />
center. On the third floor there will be two speech rooms <strong>and</strong> <strong>six</strong> seminar rooms.<br />
The.se additional rooms will make it possible for us to use the present seminar<br />
rooms adjacent or near the Library as collaboration rooms for graduate students.<br />
This will meet a very definite need in the Library itself as the reading<br />
room has proven to be altogether too small.<br />
Our gymnasium is too small. We have no money to enlarge it. It is possible<br />
that we can make it meet our needs by employing a Physical Education Director
PROCEEDINGS 105<br />
to direct all our recreational activities. The students live under such strain that<br />
nothing would protect <strong>and</strong> promote their health more than a man who would<br />
give all of his time in promoting all types of physical exercises.<br />
The three seminaries are recommending to the Executive Committee of the<br />
Southern Baptist Convention at their pre-convention meetings, that each of the<br />
seminaries be given an increase of one per cent in its allocation of cooperative<br />
receipts <strong>and</strong> that the seminaries, on a fixed day in September, be allowed to<br />
appeal to the churches for an offering to supplement their income from cooperative<br />
receipts.<br />
SCHOOL OF CHURCH MUSIC<br />
The development of the School of Church Music has been so phenomenal<br />
that one cannot escape the conclusion that it has been brought into existence<br />
by the will of God. A reasonable estimate of the physical assets of the School<br />
of Church Music is $500,000. In addition to the spacious buildings <strong>and</strong> lovely<br />
grounds, we have five pipe organs, over a dozen pianos, <strong>and</strong> furnishings <strong>and</strong><br />
equipment which are quite adequate to meet our present needs. As stated<br />
elsewhere in this report, we have $35,000 for the erection of twenty-four additional<br />
bedrooms to Barnard Hall. Thus far, the School of Church Music has<br />
added appreciably to the physical assets of the Seminary. In the providence<br />
of God, it will become one of the greatest assets to Southern Baptists <strong>and</strong> the<br />
cause -of Christ.<br />

the accounting procedures of the Seminary, <strong>and</strong> have examined its accounting records <strong>and</strong><br />
other evidence in support of such financial statements. Our examination was made in accordance<br />
with generally accepted auditing st<strong>and</strong>ards applicable in the circumstances <strong>and</strong> included all<br />
auditing procedures we considered necessary, which procedures were applied by tests to the<br />
extent we deemed appropriate, except that the receipts from gifts <strong>and</strong> grants have been included<br />
as recorded without verification by us.<br />
The records of the Seminary are kept generally on a cash basis, no provisions being made<br />
for income or expenses at the close of accounting periods.<br />
In our opinion, subject to the exception stated above with respect to the limitation of t<br />
scope of our examination the accompanying balance sheet <strong>and</strong> statements of cash receipts, as<br />
recorded, <strong>and</strong> disbursements fairly present the financial condition of the Seminary at December<br />
31, 1945, in conformity with the cash basis of accounting consistently applied by the Seminary,<br />
<strong>and</strong> its cash receipts, as recorded, <strong>and</strong> its cash disbursements for the year ended that date.<br />

65. Louie D. Newton, Georgia, offered the following resolution<br />
which was adopted:<br />
A RESOLUTION PETITIONING THE DEPARTMENT OF-STATE OF THE<br />
UNITED STATES<br />
The Southern Baptist Convention, in session this the 17th day of May, 1946,<br />
at Miami, Florida, respectfully <strong>and</strong> earnestly petitions the Department of State<br />
of the United States to insist upon the inclusion in treaties of peace with Italy,<br />
the Balkans, <strong>and</strong> all other European countries, as well as Japan, of adequate<br />
safe-guards for religious liberty—such liberty to be denned as including not<br />
alone tolerated worship for all persons, but the right to conduct missions, to<br />
hold property dedicated to religious uses, to establish schools <strong>and</strong> printing presses,<br />
<strong>and</strong> to exercise civil rights without discrimination on grounds of religious faith.<br />
And further, we respectfully <strong>and</strong> earnestly petition the Department of State<br />
to insist upon religious liberty in the full sense of the fore-going paragraph for<br />
all persons of all faiths in countries where we are not for the moment making<br />
treaties, but where this cherished principle is definitely jeopardized, as, for<br />
example, Spain. LouiE D N E W T O N<br />
66. Chairman Prince E. Burroughs offered the report of the C<br />
mittee on Resolutions, <strong>and</strong> its recommendations were adopted:<br />
I<br />
WHEREAS, this Convention recognizes the primary importance of Scripture<br />
distribution in all forms of missions at home <strong>and</strong> abroad, <strong>and</strong><br />
WHEREAS, we recognize the essential worldwide service of the American<br />
Bible Society in its missionary non-profit work of translation, publication <strong>and</strong><br />
distribution of the Scriptures without note or comment, <strong>and</strong><br />
WHEREAS, the American Bible Society today is rendering a special service<br />
to the cause of world missions through supplying Scriptures for people in wartorn<br />
areas.<br />
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that we earnestly urge our churches <strong>and</strong><br />
our people to make generous contributions to the work of the American Bible<br />
Society in order that we may use to the fullest extent the opportunity for world<br />
evangelization through Scripture distribution.<br />
The Committee recommends passage of the above.<br />

A RESOLUTION<br />
WHEREAS, is has come to our attention that our Brother, Dr. M. E. Dodd,<br />
pastor of First Baptist Church, Shreveport, Louisiana, has been invited by the<br />
Baptist Union of Australia to direct an Evangelistic Crusade in that country<br />
in the Autumn of 1946 <strong>and</strong><br />
WHEREAS Dr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Dodd will soon leave the homel<strong>and</strong> for this<br />
responsible assignment, <strong>and</strong> also to tour <strong>and</strong> render evangelistic service in New<br />
Zeal<strong>and</strong>, South Africa <strong>and</strong> other points <strong>and</strong><br />
WHEREAS, Dr. Dodd's long ministry among Southern Baptists has been so<br />
signally blessed in the field of Evangelism <strong>and</strong> in many other places of Denominational<br />
leadership <strong>and</strong><br />
WHEREAS, we rejoice always in every opportunity to see the Kingdom of<br />
our Lord <strong>and</strong> Christ advanced <strong>and</strong>
112 SQUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
WHEREAS, Dr. Dodd has so recently rendered such fruitful service in the<br />
field of Evangelism, as director of the Centennial Evangelistic Crusade of 1945<br />
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Southern Baptist Convention in<br />
annual session in Miami, Florida, this 15th day of May, 1946, that we most<br />
heartily <strong>and</strong> prayerfully commend our Brother, Dr. M. E. Dodd, <strong>and</strong> his faithful<br />
companion, to our Baptist friends of Australia <strong>and</strong> other countries, <strong>and</strong> that<br />
we assure him, <strong>and</strong> them, that our prayers shall attend his evangelistic ministry.<br />
And we express the hope that great spiritual blessings may come to the Christian<br />
forces of the countries to be visited by Dr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Dodd <strong>and</strong> that many souls<br />
may accept the Salvation of our Lord <strong>and</strong> Christ.<br />

MEMORIAL TO SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
Realizing there is a growing number of obstacles in securing time for broa<br />
casting on the radio religious programs setting forth our Baptist doctrines <strong>and</strong><br />
programs, <strong>and</strong> further realizing the tendency of the United States Government<br />
to limit the number of broadcasting stations for religious purposes—<br />
Therefore be it resolved, that the General Association of Baptists in Kentucky<br />
in regular annual session memorialize the Southern Baptist Convention<br />
to establish its own radio <strong>and</strong> television broadcasting station at the earliest<br />
possible date.<br />
(Signed) E. D. DAVIS, Secretary<br />
General Association Baptists in Kentucky<br />
Your Committee recommends that the Convention refer this memorial to the<br />
Radio Commission to study this request thoroughly, <strong>and</strong> report its findings <strong>and</strong><br />
recommendations to the 1947 session of this body.<br />

ASSEMBLY<br />
Resolutions. Committee<br />
In view of the great service that the Assembly at Ridgecrest has rendered<br />
to our Southern Baptist constituency <strong>and</strong> the further fact that limited facilities<br />
<strong>and</strong> great distances involved make it impossible adequately to serve our increasing<br />
numbers <strong>and</strong> in view of the further fact that considerable interest has been<br />
expressed by several states, west <strong>and</strong> southwest, in the establishment of such<br />
assembly somewhere in that territory.<br />
We, therefore, request that a committee of seven be appointed by this convention<br />
to give thorough study to this matter <strong>and</strong> to report to the convention<br />
in 1947.<br />
J. A. ELLIS, Texas, Chairman<br />
T. W. MEDEARIS, Missouri<br />

report their decision to the 1947 session of this Convention.<br />

COMMITTEE ON CHURCH ORGANIZATIONS<br />
PROCEEDINGS 113<br />
V<br />
Regarding the resolutions presented by Dr. Walter L. Johnson of Mississippi<br />
<strong>and</strong> a Committee of the Baptist Pastors Conference of Richmond, your Committee<br />
finds that in general they cover parallel <strong>and</strong> largely similar problems <strong>and</strong><br />
proposals. They deal with relationships existing between our denominational<br />
agencies <strong>and</strong> within the organizational structure of the auxiliary organizations<br />
of our churches <strong>and</strong> their field of work, teaching <strong>and</strong> objectives. Your Committee<br />
makes .the following observations <strong>and</strong> recommendations:<br />
First, It is obvious that there has developed duplications, overlapping <strong>and</strong><br />
in some respects too much organization in our churches wherein the same groups<br />
belong to different organizations who do the same work.<br />
Second, Inasmuch as the agencies have gradually evolved through the last<br />
fifty years their program <strong>and</strong> methods independently of each other we, your<br />
Committee, recommend that a Committee of fifteen be created by this Convention<br />
to carefully study the organizational needs of our churches wdth respect to their<br />
auxiliaries; to define the functions <strong>and</strong> spheres of each; to propose in the light<br />
of our experience <strong>and</strong> need what changes or additions should be made <strong>and</strong> to<br />
report to the 1947 session of the Southern Baptist Convention their findings <strong>and</strong><br />
recommendations. It is the hope of your Committee that the Committee to be<br />
appointed shall be led of the Holy Spirit to find a way whereby every good<br />
thing we have shall be conserved <strong>and</strong> such changes made that will enable our<br />
churches to evangelize, teach, train, instruct, enlist, <strong>and</strong> make more effective<br />
our entire stewardship of life <strong>and</strong> substance in the service of Christ.<br />
Third, That the work of this Committee include that of study <strong>and</strong> recommendations<br />
concerning the utilization of principles <strong>and</strong> methods in the field of<br />
Religious Education in our churches <strong>and</strong> whole mission program.<br />
Fourth, We recommend that the Committee of fifteen hereby recommended be<br />
composed of brethren Gaines S. Dobbins, Chairman; J. M. Price, A. E. Tibbs,<br />
W. 0. Carver, W. L. Howse, Ellis A. Fuller, E. D. Head, Rol<strong>and</strong> Q. Leavell,<br />
<strong>and</strong> Louie D. Newton, plus <strong>six</strong> pastors to be named by the Committee on Committees.<br />
Fifth, We suggest that the first three named be a steering committee to<br />
make all necessary preliminary study of this proposal between now <strong>and</strong> October<br />
1, 1946, <strong>and</strong> that the full Committee begin its work following that date.<br />
Sixth, That the Committee hereby created be instructed to publish their report<br />
in the denominational press not later than April 1, 1947.<br />
Seventh, That the expenses of this Committee be limited not to exceed $2,000<br />
which shall be provided by the Executive Committee of the Convention according<br />
to the way the Convention provides for the expenses of its special Committees.<br />
ADOPTED<br />
VI<br />
Regarding the resolution presented by A. G. Hause, Missouri, concerning<br />
temperance lessons, your Committee finds that this question of offering a lesson<br />
on temperance each quarter has been fully considered by the Sunday School<br />
Board <strong>and</strong> the International Bible Lessons Committee, <strong>and</strong> it can see no valid<br />
reason for opening the question at this time. We therefore cannot recommend<br />
the passing of the resolution.<br />
RESOLUTION NOT ADOPTED<br />
67. Chas. F. Sims, South Carolina, read the report on Luther<br />
Rice Memorial, <strong>and</strong> it was adopted.<br />
LUTHER RICE MEMORIAL<br />
At the meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention in Atlanta, 1944, the<br />
Luther Rice Memorial Committee reported that, due to Government restrictions<br />
on building, the Pine Pleasant Baptist Church, located near Newberry, S. C,<br />
had been unable to use the $1,069.38 of the Luther Rice Memorial Fund granted<br />
to it by the Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention.
114 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
The chairman of this committee recently contacted the Pine Pleasant Baptist<br />
Church to find out what has been done since that time. The pastor of the<br />
church informed us that, due to the cost of material <strong>and</strong> labor, the church still<br />
had not been able to make the necessary repairs on its building. The church<br />
again expressed its appreciation to the Convention for making this money<br />
available <strong>and</strong> desired that it may be given more time to do this work.<br />
The money is being held by the Luther Rice Memorial Committee <strong>and</strong> will<br />
be turned over to the Pine Pleasant Baptist Church whenever the church is<br />
in a position to use it.<br />

69. The report of the Committee on Public Relations was presented<br />
by Chairman E. Hilton Jackson, District of Commbia, <strong>and</strong><br />
adopted:<br />
PUBLIC RELATIONS<br />
The Southern Baptist Convention in 1936 appointed a Committee on Public<br />
Relations whose work was defined in the following words: "As situations arise<br />
in which agencies of this Convention are compelled to confer, to negotiate, to<br />
dem<strong>and</strong> just rights that are being threatened or to have other inescapable<br />
dealings with our American or other governments, this Committee shall function<br />
as the representative of Southern Baptists, when so requested by any existing<br />
board or agency <strong>and</strong> shall report in detail the results of such conferences or<br />
negotiations." . „ ,. , ,., ,-,<br />
The following year the Northern Baptist Convention created a like Committee<br />
to co-operate with the one set up by the Southern Baptist Convention<br />
whenever "principles held alike by Northern <strong>and</strong> Southern Baptists are in any<br />
way endangered." Two years later the National Baptist Convention, Incorporated,<br />
took similar action.<br />
Every thoughtful person recognizes that civilization today contronts the<br />
most serious crisis that mankind has ever known. It is the conviction of the<br />
people of God called Baptists that the application of their distinctive principles<br />
to the organization of the coming One World, together with the unrestricted<br />
preaching of the Gospel to all who dwell upon the earth provides the surest,<br />
if not the only way, for the securing of a lasting peace <strong>and</strong> the establishment of<br />
a world order grounded upon justice <strong>and</strong> goodwill.
118 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
The Joint Conference Committee on Public Relations, viewing in behalf of<br />
nearly 12,000,000 American Baptists the total world situation, after serious<br />
deliberation <strong>and</strong> earnest prayer, voted on January 18, 1946, to recommend to<br />
the Southern, the Northern, <strong>and</strong> the National Baptist Conventions the following<br />
program for consideration <strong>and</strong> approval.<br />
The Program Proposed by the Joint Conference Committee<br />
on Public Relations for Consideration by the Baptists<br />
of the United States <strong>and</strong> for Official Approval of the<br />
Southern, the Northern, <strong>and</strong> the National Conventions.<br />
"The 'towne fellowship,' set up by Roger Williams <strong>and</strong> his associates three<br />
<strong>hundred</strong> <strong>and</strong> ten years ago for the governing of Providence Plantations, was<br />
definitely limited in the enforcement of its powers to 'only in civil things.'<br />
These fugitives from religious persecution embodied in this compact the principle<br />
of complete freedom of conscience, a principle which the Baptists, throughout<br />
their long <strong>and</strong> glorious history, have unfalteringly proclaimed, <strong>and</strong> for<br />
which many of them suffered <strong>and</strong> died. The complete separation of Church<br />
<strong>and</strong> State was made in 1791 an integral part of the Federal Constitution of<br />
the United States. This action, so far-reaching in its reconstruction of American<br />
life, has been recognized by competent students as the distinctive contribution<br />
our nation has made to the progress of political science.<br />
"There has been set up in London a World Organization, an avowed purpose<br />
of which is 'promoting <strong>and</strong> encouraging respect for human rights <strong>and</strong> for<br />
fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or<br />
religion.' One of the specific objectives, set forth in the Charter of the United<br />
Nations Organization—the name used for the new world body—is 'universal<br />
respect for, <strong>and</strong> observance of human rights <strong>and</strong> fundamental freedoms for all<br />
without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion,' <strong>and</strong> the promotion of<br />
these laudable ends has been placed specifically in the h<strong>and</strong>s of the Economic<br />
<strong>and</strong> Social Council of the United Nations Organization. The right of appeal<br />
to this Council is open to everyone. Here is an opportunity <strong>and</strong> a challenge<br />
to all the Baptists of this country to bear the testimony our spiritual forefathers<br />
so nobly bore, not like them within the narrow limits of a struggling<br />
colonial community or within the area of a little nation newly born, but to all<br />
peoples <strong>and</strong> tongues everywhere throughout the world; <strong>and</strong> this we can do<br />
through the creation of a world opinion favorable to the recognition, the<br />
establishment, <strong>and</strong> the implementation of religious liberty as a universal human<br />
right.<br />
"The Economic <strong>and</strong> Social Council can propose <strong>and</strong> secure the adoption of<br />
this universal right, only as the majority of the Nations are committed to its<br />
ratification. In the creation of a favorable world opinion, Baptists do not st<strong>and</strong><br />
alone. We are strongly supported by the foremost evangelical bodies of this<br />
country who recognize religious liberty as 'basic among the rights of man, indispensable<br />
to world order <strong>and</strong> security, helpful in the conduct of Christian<br />
work.' This should inspire all of us to greater efforts.<br />
"Believing that there exists an imperative need for the immediate strength<br />
ening of all American Baptists in devotion to their distinctive principles, <strong>and</strong><br />
for the practical application of these principles in our national <strong>and</strong> international<br />
relationships, we recommend the establishment of a permanent headquarters<br />
for the Joint Conference Committee on Public Relations in Washington,<br />
D. C, under the direction of the ablest Baptist leader to be found who<br />
as a salaried secretary, shall use every means available for arousing, not only<br />
Baptists but all others, in the support of universal religious freedom, looking<br />
toward the international proscription of religious persecution throughout the<br />
world.<br />
"Among the services the secretary, in association with the Joint Conference<br />
Committee on Public Relations, can render, we list the following:<br />
"1. To represent all the Baptists of this country in negotiations with our<br />
own <strong>and</strong> other governments whenever our principles are involved or our rights<br />
are endangered; the Pronouncement on Religious Liberty adopted by the supporting<br />
Conventions in 1939, being the basic guide for action; to make surveys<br />
studies, investigations <strong>and</strong> to submit his reports with recommendations on any<br />
public issue or problem or any other assignment submitted to the Joint Conference<br />
Committee on Public Relations by any Baptist convention, board, society<br />
or other denominational agency;
PROCEEDINGS 119<br />
"2. To arrange for a popular text-book on Religious Liberty, especially<br />
designed for our Baptist youth \ for articles in current magazines, the secular<br />
<strong>and</strong> the religious press; for addresses over the radio—all supporting complete<br />
freedom of religion as essential to the securing <strong>and</strong> the maintenance of an<br />
enduring world peace; for the preparation <strong>and</strong> publication of a definite history<br />
of the struggle for freedom of religion, <strong>and</strong> for the promotion of hearty cooperation<br />
with all groups committed to the furtherance of the fundamental<br />
freedoms <strong>and</strong> to the international proscription of religious persecution throughout<br />
the world;<br />
"3. To explore, study <strong>and</strong> advise Baptists concerning any <strong>and</strong> all federal<br />
legislation that violates the principle of the separation of Church <strong>and</strong> State;<br />
such as Senate bill 717, now pending, which, if passed in its present form, will<br />
appropriate directly to the non-public or parochial schools $250,000,000 annually<br />
;<br />
"4. To maintain the Baptist witness in the Nation's Capital, to appear<br />
before congressional committees when measures are being considered that favor<br />
one religious faith above another, to formulate plans by which Baptist conviction<br />
shall find effective expression through petitions to the President, the Congress,<br />
the Economic <strong>and</strong> Social Council of the United National Organization or<br />
other bodies, signed by the constituents of bur Conventions <strong>and</strong> other friends<br />
of religious freedom; to promote a nationwide movement for the creation of<br />
a dem<strong>and</strong> that complete religious freedom shall be embodied in the anticipated<br />
revision of the Charter of the United Nations, to the end that this God-given<br />
right be made a basic element in international law.<br />
"5. To act, when definite instructions are given by the supporting conventions<br />
in regard to domestic situations; to protest to the proper authorities when<br />
Baptist principles are to any degree violated by our own government, <strong>and</strong> to<br />
appeal through diplomatic <strong>and</strong> other channels when in other l<strong>and</strong>s any are<br />
made to suffer for conscience's sake, <strong>and</strong> to correlate the activities of other<br />
religious, fraternal, <strong>and</strong> civic organizations <strong>and</strong> agencies, as these activities<br />
coincide with the efforts of the Joint Conference Committee on Public Relations.<br />
"6. To stimulate through existing cultural <strong>and</strong> publicity agencies of all<br />
Baptist conventions, a comprehensive <strong>and</strong> general program of education in<br />
Baptist historic principles <strong>and</strong> witness; to promote comity, fellowship, underst<strong>and</strong>ing<br />
<strong>and</strong> closer co-operation on the part of all the Baptists of this nation<br />
through the recognition of a common inheritance, a common mission <strong>and</strong> a<br />
or race."<br />
common witness to be borne to the competency of the human soul under God,<br />
We recommend that the Convention give its approval to this program, <strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> to strengthen collaboration <strong>and</strong> mutuality of concern among all Baptists<br />
set up this committee as a St<strong>and</strong>ing Committee of the Convention.<br />
within the United States irrespective of geography, language, national origin<br />

spirit of the Constitution <strong>and</strong> laws of the United States respecting separation of<br />
church <strong>and</strong> state <strong>and</strong> religious freedom; <strong>and</strong> that such a list <strong>and</strong> explanation<br />
be placed in the h<strong>and</strong>s of the Executive Committee of this Convention, <strong>and</strong> be<br />
sent to editors of Baptist publications, for wide publicity among our Baptist<br />
people.<br />

120 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
RESOLUTION OF THANKS<br />
We are grateful to the Baptists of Miami who, when no one else would<br />
invite us, graciously opened their doors <strong>and</strong> offered us their best. We pray<br />
God's blessing upon them <strong>and</strong> express the hope that our meeting in their city<br />
will bring a blessing to them through the years to come.<br />
We offer, our heartfelt thanks <strong>and</strong> appreciation to Dr. Chas. H. Bolton,<br />
General Chairman, <strong>and</strong> all the Committees who have labored so zealously with<br />
him to provide for every need c*f ours they could supply.<br />
We are indebted to the citizens of Miami, their city government, the police<br />
department, <strong>and</strong> the Chamber of Commerce for courtesies shown us.<br />
Our Convention has been exceptionally favored in the publicity given it<br />
by the news gathering agencies, the Miami Daily Herald, the Miami Daily News<br />
<strong>and</strong> the services of Radio Stations WIOD, WGBS, WQAM, <strong>and</strong> WKAT, who have<br />
generously furnished all the service we could desire.<br />
In spite of difficulties that could not be avoided, God has blessed us with<br />
a great session of our Convention <strong>and</strong> we herewith acknowledge our debt to<br />
him <strong>and</strong> Miami for the opportunity that has been ours.<br />
72. The report of the Social Service Commission, presented<br />
discussed by Chairman Jesse B. Weatherspoon, Kentucky, was adopted<br />
after further discussion by G. W. Strother, Louisiana.<br />
SOCIAL SERVICE COMMISSION<br />
THIRTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT<br />
The Social Service Commission desires to preface its report with two announcements<br />
which look toward an enlargement of its service. There is a<br />
growing conviction among us that Southern Baptists ought to see <strong>and</strong> weigh<br />
their moral tasks for themselves in order that they may come to think together<br />
concerning their participation in promoting personal <strong>and</strong> social morality. An<br />
increasing underst<strong>and</strong>ing of the problems we face as Christians in our inescapable<br />
social relationships, a clearer view of our responsibility as citizens, <strong>and</strong><br />
a more united front in what we undertake will add much to our influence in<br />
these times of moral confusion <strong>and</strong> social conflict. It is hoped that the announced<br />
proposals will serve these ends.<br />
The first announcement is that under the auspices of the Commission a<br />
Social Service Conference will be held at Ridgecrest on August 26-27 of this<br />
year. An opening address by the Honorable J. Melville Broughton, formerly<br />
governor of North Carolina, on Christian Citizenship will be followed by a<br />
series of conferences relating to some of the greater regional problems in<br />
which we as Christians are involved. These conferences will be open to public<br />
attendance <strong>and</strong> participation. They will not be for the purpose of "putting<br />
something over," but rather a search for underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>and</strong> for the guidance<br />
of God in the fulfillment of a worthy citizenship. It is especially hoped that<br />
this first Conference will be attended by the members of the social service<br />
committees of the several state conventions, teachers of sociology <strong>and</strong> ethics<br />
in our schools <strong>and</strong> colleges, <strong>and</strong> by pastors.<br />
The second announcement is that the Sunday School Board has graciously<br />
agreed to cooperate with the Commission in its publication of a series of h<strong>and</strong>books<br />
dealing with vital subjects in the field of Christian social life. These<br />
h<strong>and</strong>books will eventually include studies in the Christian approach to Marriage<br />
<strong>and</strong> Family Problems, Industrial Relations, the Liquor Problem, Race Relations,<br />
<strong>and</strong> Christian Citizenship. It is hoped that the first of these will be published<br />
in 1947. They will be intended for the use of pastors, teachers <strong>and</strong> church<br />
leaders in conducting study courses, <strong>and</strong> for general distribution.<br />
NEED FOR INCREASING MORAL CONCERN<br />
We begin the second century of our Convention's life at a time when<br />
world conditions make it imperative that Christian people should reaffirm <strong>and</strong><br />
make fresh demonstration of their adherence to principles of righteousness.<br />
justice <strong>and</strong> truth, <strong>and</strong> in organized associations, such as our Convention, ex<br />
press faithfully <strong>and</strong> courageously their moral judgment on the principles, customs<br />
<strong>and</strong> movements that contradict basic morality <strong>and</strong> degrade humanity.
PROCEEDINGS 121<br />
This imperative responsibility has been, taken all too lightly in the past by our<br />
people, our churches <strong>and</strong> our conventions. At least one State Convention of<br />
Baptists participating in this Convention has no committee on morals or social<br />
service. In most of the states committees are given from fifteen to thirty<br />
minutes at the annual session of the Convention to introduce into the minutes<br />
some facts, judgments <strong>and</strong> resolutions that are soon forgotten. And in this<br />
Convention the same thing has been largely true. No provision has been made<br />
for the Social Service Commission to inaugurate any sort of program of service<br />
or education between meetings of the Convention. Its financial allotment<br />
has been so small as not to permit the members of the Commission to meet for<br />
any thorough study of the subjects it is appointed to consider. We have done<br />
all too little. The annual reports have been a gesture, a noble gesture <strong>and</strong> a<br />
token of a slightly aroused social conscience; but time <strong>and</strong> circumstance are<br />
upon us that call us to take steps, to move forward in a genuine <strong>and</strong> forthright<br />
concern for the social, political <strong>and</strong> economic procedures in whose creation <strong>and</strong><br />
direction our nation <strong>and</strong> our God have committed to us the responsibility of<br />
sharing. We must be concerned as individuals; we must also be concerned as<br />
groups in united protest against evil <strong>and</strong> in support of good <strong>and</strong> right. We<br />
must be concerned with the inside of life, its spirit <strong>and</strong> faith <strong>and</strong> motive; but<br />
also with the outside of life, its framework <strong>and</strong> customs <strong>and</strong> institutions. The<br />
primary emphasis of our religion is on the inside of the cup, but nowhere can<br />
we find any Christian virtue in leaving the outside unclean. We must present<br />
to God pure hearts <strong>and</strong> clean h<strong>and</strong>s. We must walk humbly before God <strong>and</strong> do<br />
justly, <strong>and</strong> love mercy. We have a moral dem<strong>and</strong> from heaven to do right in the<br />
present situation. We cannot do wrong today or shirk the responsibility for<br />
doing right today in order to escape some imagined ill or promote some<br />
imagined good tomorrow. And we have a moral task as Christian citizens which,<br />
as patriots, we cannot shirk, <strong>and</strong>, as Christians, we cannot approach in an unchristian<br />
way.<br />
Time (the beginning of our second century), circumstance (a broken <strong>and</strong><br />
desperate <strong>and</strong> imperiled society) <strong>and</strong> the moral authority of Jesus Christ dem<strong>and</strong>ing<br />
righteousness <strong>and</strong> love in all our relationships, all combine to lay<br />
upon us the need of re-appraising the purpose <strong>and</strong> function of the Social Service<br />
Commission as an expression of the moral <strong>and</strong> social concern of the Convention<br />
<strong>and</strong> as an agency of the Convention in the promotion of righteousness, justice,<br />
<strong>and</strong> love in our social life. It is for this reason that the Commission is request-<br />
' ing (in a separate recommendation) that the Executive Committee of the Convention<br />
be authorized PROBLEMS <strong>and</strong> instructed THAT to study CHALLENGE the proper function <strong>and</strong> scope<br />
There of the are Commission now before in order the to American make necessary people provision many issues for its that support. cannot be<br />
settled until Christian moral leaders bring to light their moral meaning <strong>and</strong><br />
subject them to examination by the principles of high morality. Polls of public<br />
opinion are very popular <strong>and</strong> very significant. Some of them reflect with amazing<br />
accuracy the attitude of the nation. But that does not mean that the majority<br />
have by thought <strong>and</strong> underst<strong>and</strong>ing arrived at a seasoned judgment.<br />
They reflect for the most part attitudes that are created by partisan, sectional<br />
or parochial sentiments.<br />
Christian citizenship must rise to the level of underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>and</strong> objective<br />
moral judgment, arrived at only by a study of the issues <strong>and</strong> of the relevant<br />
teachings of our Lord concerning righteousness, truth <strong>and</strong> love. Our country<br />
needs <strong>and</strong> must have a revival of education in basic moral principles, <strong>and</strong> of moral<br />
purpose that will apply <strong>and</strong> implement a new moral underst<strong>and</strong>ing. There is in<br />
the original <strong>and</strong> fundamental spirit of American civilization a basic morality<br />
that must be reclaimed from the perils that beset it in this revolutionary time.<br />
It held to the worth of the individual man, <strong>and</strong> his right to freedom, to individual<br />
honor <strong>and</strong> social justice, to truth <strong>and</strong> honesty in economic <strong>and</strong> political<br />
life to the sacredness of the monogamous family <strong>and</strong> the dignity of law. Its<br />
democracy was not a political expedient, but a moral principle based upon the<br />
nature of man, the nature of society <strong>and</strong> the will of God. The basic morality<br />
must be revived.<br />
It was jealousy for individual freedom that gave us a democratic government<br />
<strong>and</strong> separated the church from the state. But it was never contemplated that
122 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
religion would be banished from political thinking or that the education of our<br />
youth, delivered from sectarian control, would omit the moral foundations of<br />
our very life <strong>and</strong> give pagan ethics a welcome to the curriculum that is denied<br />
to Christian ethics. It is time for American Christians, including Baptists, to<br />
find an unprejudiced way to bring basic morality that springs from belief in<br />
a holy <strong>and</strong> righteous God back into American education. Else these issues <strong>and</strong><br />
problems that threaten our domestic peace <strong>and</strong> the freedom that we enjoy will<br />
be too much for us, for they will yield only to truth <strong>and</strong> justice <strong>and</strong> love.<br />
INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS<br />
Among these issues that so urgently call are the industrial issues <strong>and</strong><br />
problems of the present hour. They are too critical to be ignored <strong>and</strong> too<br />
complex to be treated lightly. Their solution requires a continued search for<br />
truth, clear ethical perception, <strong>and</strong> full recognition of Christian responsibility<br />
for honesty <strong>and</strong> justice in the production <strong>and</strong> distribution of goods. In a<br />
democracy Christian men <strong>and</strong> women have an opportunity <strong>and</strong> a corresponding<br />
obligation to exert a constructive influence upon the economic order <strong>and</strong> to<br />
apply Christian st<strong>and</strong>ards to concrete economic situations.<br />
At a time when industrial relations are marked by sharp <strong>and</strong> bitter conflicts,<br />
what can Christian individuals do to correct economic injustices <strong>and</strong> to secure<br />
economic cooperation? Disavowing Utopian expectations, <strong>and</strong> recognizing the<br />
complexity of the highly controversial issues involved, we make the following<br />
suggestions:<br />
1. Christian men <strong>and</strong> women, acting under the inspiration of faith, should<br />
• work for economic security as an important factor in raising the level<br />
of American society. It is an incontrovertible fact that delinquency <strong>and</strong><br />
mortality ^"ates among children are higher in the lower income groups <strong>and</strong><br />
in the deteriorated areas of urban communities.<br />
2. We should discover more effective ways of expressing the Christian spirit<br />
of respect for persons in the midst of the impersonal relationships which<br />
characterize so much of modern industry.<br />
3. We should challenge the monetary st<strong>and</strong>ard as the sole criterion of success<br />
<strong>and</strong> work for the introduction of higher motives than financial profit<br />
into economic enterprises.<br />
4. We should remind the organizers <strong>and</strong> managers of capital (investors <strong>and</strong><br />
management) that if our capitalistic economy is to endure as the chosen<br />
system of the American people it must recognize in the full measure of<br />
, reality the part played in industry <strong>and</strong> the equity rightfully claimed by<br />
the producer, the laborer <strong>and</strong> the consumer. The manager, hitherto<br />
identified too exclusively with the interests of the investor^ must accept<br />
the moral responsibility of advancing the morally <strong>and</strong> socially legitimate<br />
interests of the laborer <strong>and</strong> of the producing <strong>and</strong> consuming public also.<br />
The survival of "the American way" depends upon his activity in eliminating<br />
from our industrial order the concept of war.<br />
5. We should also remind the organizers <strong>and</strong> managers of labor (the laborer<br />
<strong>and</strong> the labor leader) that, in claiming their rights, they too must recognize<br />
in the full measure of reality the part played <strong>and</strong> the equity rightfully<br />
claimed by the investor, capital manager, the producer <strong>and</strong> the<br />
consumer. Labor, organized <strong>and</strong> unorganized, must assume moral responsibility<br />
commensurate with its enormous power, to practice democracy<br />
in all of its procedures, <strong>and</strong> to insist upon a competent leadership whose<br />
moral integrity <strong>and</strong> conviction will inspire the confidence of good men.<br />
6. Recognizing the equal right of men to organize their labor on the one<br />
h<strong>and</strong>, <strong>and</strong> their money, on the other, we should insist that the managers of<br />
labor <strong>and</strong> the managers of capital seek, in the name of patriotism, humanity<br />
<strong>and</strong> basic morality, peaceful methods of adjustment <strong>and</strong> cooperation.<br />
7. While advocating peaceful methods of adjustment <strong>and</strong> change in the<br />
economic realm, we should at the same time assume personal responsibility<br />
as the consumers of goods to buy rationally, to use constructively, <strong>and</strong><br />
to abide by the social controls that are instituted for the benefit of all<br />
citizens.
PROCEEDINGS 123<br />
ALCOHOL AND THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT<br />
"It is safe to say that at no time in the history of the American Temperance<br />
movement has the need of constructive <strong>and</strong> substantial support by the church<br />
been so vital <strong>and</strong> so definitely linked with responsibility for the future of the<br />
temperance movement." So says Mr. E. H. Cherrington, who has been associated<br />
with the temperance forces of our nation for many years. Since the<br />
repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment the liquor industry has been steadily<br />
growing.<br />
During the war it was less disturbed than any other. Its plant remained<br />
intact <strong>and</strong> it was given "holidays" from war production. Its normal business<br />
went on, one of its best customers being directly <strong>and</strong> indirectly the military<br />
forces of the nation at home <strong>and</strong> abroad. While pouring out products that<br />
polluted life, interfered with steady labor, debauched soldiers (enlisted men<br />
<strong>and</strong> officers), disrupted families, defied law <strong>and</strong> multiplied crime, the leaders of<br />
the liquor industry with a show of humanitarian sympathy <strong>and</strong> patriotism were<br />
active in relief <strong>and</strong> welfare movements, thus winning popular favor. For example<br />
in one Southern city the top man in one of the large distilleries was made<br />
leader in a movement for Child Welfare, <strong>and</strong> a group of breweries contributed<br />
$30,000.00 to the Boy Scouts.<br />
At the same time the liquor industry exp<strong>and</strong>ed its advertising, placarding<br />
many of the greater national weeklies <strong>and</strong> monthlies as well as the newspapers.<br />
(And somehow the paper shortage did not greatly affect the space at their<br />
disposal.) It invaded the homes of the nations through the radio almost every<br />
hour of the day. Today, therefore, the fact of liquor drinking, advertised<br />
attractively <strong>and</strong> without any hint of its real <strong>and</strong> lasting damage, causes less<br />
revulsion among average citizens than ever before. The public hears much<br />
about the pleasures of drinking <strong>and</strong> the generosity of the liquor industry, <strong>and</strong><br />
so little about its evils that it is easy to believe that nothing need be done .<br />
about it.<br />
That is why the churches of America should arouse themselves <strong>and</strong> give<br />
their support to the temperance forces that have had the courage to keep on<br />
fighting against great odds. In every state worthy anti-alcohol organizations<br />
are continuing to fight. "Alcoholics Anonymous" is doing a remarkable work<br />
with individual victims of drink. In some states the Anti-Saloon League is<br />
showing great power of combat. The churches should cooperate with the<br />
organizations that are pressing the battle.<br />
LOCAL OPTION GAINS<br />
The campaign against beverage alcohol is showing steady gains. Local<br />
option laws, opening the way to precinct <strong>and</strong> county elections on the wet-dry<br />
issue, are constantly extending dry territory. Kentucky has 120 counties; 88<br />
are dry. Alabama has 67 counties; 50 are dry. Georgia has 159 counties; 123<br />
are dry. Mississippi has 82 counties; all prohibit hard liquor by State law, <strong>and</strong><br />
44 prohibit the sale of beer. North Carolina has 100 counties; 75 are dry.<br />
Oklahoma has 77 counties; all prohibit hard liquor by State law. Tennessee has<br />
95 counties; 86 prohibit hard liquors. Texas has 258 counties; 140 prohibit<br />
both hard liquors <strong>and</strong> beer, <strong>and</strong> 19 allow beer sales only. Arkansas has 75<br />
counties; 25 are dry, <strong>and</strong> 16 townships <strong>and</strong> 15 towns besides. South Carolina<br />
has 46 counties, <strong>and</strong> the people of the State by popular referendum have voted all<br />
liquor out by a majority of nearly 60,000, yet the liquor-controlled legislators<br />
have refused to obey this m<strong>and</strong>ate of the people to enact a State dry law.<br />
Florida has 67 counties; 16 have voted out hard liquors. Louisiana has 64<br />
parishes; 16 are bone dry. In these 12 Southern States there is a total of 1210<br />
counties; 774 of them have outlawed liquor under repeal.<br />
THE WAY TO FURTHER PROGRESS<br />
At the meeting of the National Temperance <strong>and</strong> Prohibition Council in<br />
January of this year conclusions were reached <strong>and</strong> recommendations were made<br />
to the moral forces of the nation, which we pass on for the consideration<br />
of our people.<br />
"It is highly important that all groups interested in. social progress shall<br />
consider the liquor question in relation to their programs for social betterment.<br />
We therefore urge the following: (1) That our churches <strong>and</strong> denominational
124 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
groups lay greater emphasis upon temperance in church <strong>and</strong> denominational<br />
activities. (2) That a more adequate program of scientific temperance education<br />
be maintained in our public <strong>and</strong> private schools <strong>and</strong> seminaries. (3) That<br />
public health authorities be urged to give greater consideration to alcoholism<br />
<strong>and</strong> drunkenness as a public health problem. We hold that voluntary abstinence<br />
from the use of alcoholic beverages is the surest guarantee against the development<br />
of alcoholism <strong>and</strong> its attendant evils, but we know that legislation is also<br />
necessary.<br />
"In the states we advocate: (1) Action for effective scientific temperance<br />
education. (2) Legislation providing for the care <strong>and</strong> cure of alcoholics,<br />
with a view of reformation. (3) The enactment of local option laws where this<br />
privilege does not now exist, <strong>and</strong> the strengthening of such existing legislatipn<br />
where necessary to insure to the people of the political unit the right to determine<br />
the question of sale or nonsale of all types of alcoholic beverages. (4)<br />
Such other restrictions <strong>and</strong> prohibitions upon the sale of alcoholic beverages<br />
as will effectively minimize the evils attendant upon their use. (5) The election<br />
of officers who will enforce laws when enacted.<br />
"We urge the following federal legislation: (1) Such administrative action<br />
<strong>and</strong> legislation by the Federal government as will protect the states against<br />
the unlawful importation of liquors in violation of their policy, as guaranteed<br />
by the second section of the 21st Amendment. (2) Action that will prevent<br />
the advertising of liquors over the radio or other media of interstate commerce.<br />
(3) Such administrative action <strong>and</strong> legislation in the District of Columbia <strong>and</strong><br />
the Federal territories as will minimize the evils growing out of the use of<br />
alcoholic liquors. Basically, the solution of the beverage alcohol problem is dependent<br />
upon individual attitudes. We therefore urge our churches <strong>and</strong> reliT<br />
gious denominations <strong>and</strong> other organizations devoted to the building of character<br />
<strong>and</strong> the molding of public opinion to aid in the development of a greater<br />
temperance sentiment throughout the nation in the interests of the common<br />
welfare."<br />
MARRIAGE AND THE FAMILY<br />
The cultural crisis through which we are passing has created strains <strong>and</strong><br />
problems for the family. The war disrupted normal courtship processes, disturbed<br />
the ratio between the sexes, drew an enormous number of women into<br />
industry, increased familial tension <strong>and</strong> disorganization, <strong>and</strong> speeded up the<br />
processes of social change affecting marriage <strong>and</strong> the family. Consequently the<br />
churches are confronted by an impressive <strong>and</strong> increasing amount of domestic<br />
discord <strong>and</strong> failure reflected in the increasing numbers of desertions <strong>and</strong><br />
divorces. We must give attention to the conservation of spiritual values in<br />
family living <strong>and</strong> bring the Christian ethic to bear much more effectively upon<br />
courtship, marriage, <strong>and</strong> the many-sided relationships of home life.<br />
It cannot be too strongly urged (1) that family worship be practiced as a<br />
fundamental part of the family enterprise, (2) that sound instruction in preparation<br />
for Christian marriage be given to young men <strong>and</strong> women, (3) that pastors<br />
counsel married couples concerning parenthood <strong>and</strong> the responsibilities of<br />
a truly Christian home, (4) <strong>and</strong> that the churches explore new ways to<br />
strengthen the moral <strong>and</strong> spiritual foundations of the family.<br />
RACE RELATIONS<br />
The relations between the white <strong>and</strong> colored races in the South constitute<br />
another social issue for which there is no final, once-for-all settlement. It is a<br />
continuing problem of adjustment which must be faced realistically, constructively<br />
<strong>and</strong> patiently. It is a point at which Christianity in the South is meeting.<br />
because of a trying social history, one of its most difficult tasks <strong>and</strong> faces one<br />
of the severest tests of its wisdom, sincerity <strong>and</strong> courage. We know that there<br />
are discriminations against Negroes because they are Negroes in matters such<br />
as freedom to vote, economic employment <strong>and</strong> remuneration, education, housing,<br />
military <strong>and</strong> government service, treatment in courts of justice, <strong>and</strong>' public<br />
privileges. We.know also that with the advance of education <strong>and</strong> culture the<br />
Negroes are becoming ever more conscious of these discriminations <strong>and</strong> of<br />
their rights under the National Constitution to share the common privileges<br />
of citizens. We know the dangers that threaten peaceful adjustment of the
PROCEEDINGS<br />
problem, such as radical dem<strong>and</strong>s for immediate <strong>and</strong> complete removal of these,<br />
discriminations, on one h<strong>and</strong>, <strong>and</strong> an equally radical insistence on the other<br />
that traditional status quo be maintained. These two extremes in a single year<br />
can easily nullify the progress of a decade, if they are permitted to be the<br />
only voices that are heard <strong>and</strong> if racial prejudice in either or both races is<br />
allowed to prevail over reason.<br />
In spite of such discouraging outbreaks of hatred as that which occurred<br />
recently in Columbia, Tennessee, which is to be deplored <strong>and</strong> condemned, the<br />
total picture of race relations is encouraging. There was only one lynching in<br />
1945. In 1945 more Negroes were allowed to vote than since restrictive laws<br />
were passed, <strong>and</strong> without any popular excitement. It was to be expected that<br />
in some states they would be challenged in order to test the Supreme Court<br />
ruling that Negroes had a right to vote in primary elections. In some states<br />
schemes will be adopted (such as repealing all state laws governing primaries)<br />
to nullify the ruling. But the general reaction of our citizenship seems to<br />
indicate that the determination of the Federal government to support <strong>and</strong><br />
guarantee the Negroes' right of suffrage on equal terms with other citizens,<br />
will cause no serious social upheaval, but rather that the qualifications for<br />
suffrage will be made to restrict the incompetent in both races alike <strong>and</strong> give<br />
the right of suffrage to all who are competent. It is certainly within the power<br />
of the Christian citizenship of the South to see this advance through to a just<br />
<strong>and</strong> peaceful end.<br />
i<br />
A TASK FOR BAPTISTS<br />
We repeat a paragraph from last year's report of the Commission: We believe<br />
that the Southern Baptist Convention should take the initiative in cooperation<br />
with our Negro brethren in making a definite contribution toward the guidance<br />
of both races in these public relationships which are peculiarly our concern.<br />
Labor Unions are showing their interest in the problem, but for particular<br />
purposes; political parties are interested, but for political ends; social scientists<br />
are studying it as a population problem; <strong>and</strong> others for humanitarian ends. We<br />
must face it as it concerns the moral <strong>and</strong> spiritual welfare of all the people of<br />
our l<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> in the spirit of Jesus Christ who loved <strong>and</strong> served all who were<br />
oppressed <strong>and</strong> in need. Today for reasons that are too obvious the challenge is<br />
urgent that we should study afresh what we ought to do <strong>and</strong> can do that will<br />
be constructive in social peace <strong>and</strong> in proof of our faith.<br />
Accordingly we are proposing (in a separate recommendation) that a special<br />
committee be appointed to make a serious <strong>and</strong> thorough * study of the race<br />
situation in the South as it relates to the moral <strong>and</strong> spiritual welfare of all our<br />
people, inviting the cooperation of Negro Baptist leaders in the study; <strong>and</strong> that<br />
this committee bring to the Convention a suggested program of service <strong>and</strong> cooperation,<br />
<strong>and</strong> recommendations looking toward more definite <strong>and</strong> helpful<br />
cooperation with our Negro brethren in those matters which will mean so<br />
much to the future of both races <strong>and</strong> the advancement of the gospel. We believe<br />
that Southern Baptists have an opportunity that is given to none else to<br />
serve in this crucial period in our national life. The Negro churches <strong>and</strong><br />
schools need us; the Negro preachers <strong>and</strong> lay leaders need us; the three <strong>and</strong> a<br />
half million Negro Baptists need us; the thirteen million Negroes of the nation<br />
need us; our country needs us—to st<strong>and</strong> in the breach <strong>and</strong> become God's servants<br />
of healing <strong>and</strong> righteousness <strong>and</strong> peace.<br />
MILITARY CONSCRIPTION AND PEACE<br />
Long before the surrender of Germany <strong>and</strong> Japan the military leaders of<br />
the United States began to plan for universal <strong>and</strong> compulsory military training<br />
For nearly two years they have brought every pressure to bear upon Congress<br />
<strong>and</strong> the public. At the present moment, seeing the impossibility of passing such<br />
a law, they have temporarily ab<strong>and</strong>oned the effort for a substitute measure<br />
to extend the Selective Service Act. On April 9th the House Military Affairs<br />
Committee voted in favor of a nine months extension of that Act to draft men<br />
from 18 to 30 (fathers exempted) for 18 months of service <strong>and</strong> ten years in<br />
reserve. Whether this will pass remains to be seen. But whatever happens<br />
the question of peace-time conscription of American youth is not dead. Its<br />
proponents under necessity are only pausing in order to find a better strategy.<br />
There is a determined effort to militarize our nation <strong>and</strong> keep military might<br />
125
126 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
<strong>and</strong> war in the center of the international picture. This in the thinking of an<br />
increasing number imperils the world's new-born desire for peace <strong>and</strong> constitutes<br />
an approach to the international situation that will undermine the moral<br />
leadership of America.<br />
Because this question will come up again we urge our people to a serious<br />
study of its meaning for the life of our nation <strong>and</strong> for our international relations.<br />
What is being the First Power worth if it means to be feared <strong>and</strong> hated<br />
by other peoples, to create a military minded citizenship, to surrender our<br />
heritage of peace-loving democracy, <strong>and</strong> to lead the world back -to the armed<br />
competition that resulted in two World Wars? Let every Christian weigh the<br />
following considerations which must enter into any realistic approach to the<br />
issue. They also have the advantage of a high moral point of view:<br />
1. "Conscription is unilateral action <strong>and</strong> thus, threatens the United Nations<br />
Organization <strong>and</strong> all efforts towards world co-operation.<br />
2. "Conscription arouses the darkest suspicions of all nations, provoking<br />
them into competitive armaments <strong>and</strong> hostile camps.<br />
3. "Conscription is no protection. It is based on obsolete notions of warfare<br />
<strong>and</strong> has little relevance to the atomic age.<br />
4. "Conscription follows the disastrous pattern of European militarism.<br />
5. "Conscription would regiment our youth <strong>and</strong> expose them to the dangers<br />
of barracks life at a most crucial <strong>and</strong> impressionable period in their lives.<br />
6. "Conscription would establish an undemocratic system aimed at unquestioning<br />
obedience to military authority <strong>and</strong> constitute a totalitarian threat<br />
to religion, education, labor, <strong>and</strong> business."<br />
On the basis of these judgments we join the National Council Against Conscription<br />
in the following appeal: "Therefore, we call upon all people of good<br />
will to oppose every move toward that new isolationism which says that we<br />
shall arm to the teeth against all others. Positively we urge support of every<br />
measure that helps to strengthen international organization <strong>and</strong> to place our<br />
Nation on the side of cooperation, friendship, <strong>and</strong> peace."<br />
FROM CAMP TO CIVILIAN LIFE<br />
Another task of the churches that will continue for some time is that of<br />
helping returning service men in their readjustment to civilian life. The government<br />
should be commended for making it possible for many of them to continue<br />
their education, to be relocated in the economic world, <strong>and</strong> for its efforts to<br />
provide housing facilities. But there are some things the state cannot do. In<br />
moral <strong>and</strong> spiritual adjustments the churches have a duty to perform. Contact<br />
ought to be made with every church member who returns <strong>and</strong> every effort<br />
made to bring them into the life of the church <strong>and</strong> to serve them as Christian<br />
brothers in the community.<br />
Along with the returning service men will be the small number of conscientious<br />
objectors who have been working in non-combatant jobs in camps,<br />
hospitals <strong>and</strong> various auxiliary positions. They ought not to be overlooked.<br />
They have been without pay <strong>and</strong> can claim no aid from the government in<br />
readjustment. They are our Christian brothers who have followed their consciences<br />
at great cost. We urge the churches to honor their sincerity <strong>and</strong><br />
courage <strong>and</strong> their religious convictions, by helping them to get jobs <strong>and</strong> giving<br />
them a friendly welcome back to their church homes <strong>and</strong> communities.<br />
RECOMMENDATIONS<br />
1. Concerning the Work of the Social Service Commission<br />
Since through the years the Social Service Commission has had a general<br />
function in the field of public morality <strong>and</strong> social problems <strong>and</strong> we have come<br />
upon a time when these problems are multiplying <strong>and</strong> the organization of convention<br />
agencies is undergoing changes in the interest of efficiency, we recommend<br />
that the Hxecutive Committee, through a sub-committee <strong>and</strong> in conference with<br />
representatives of the Social Service Commission, be requested to restudy the<br />
proper functions of such a Commission for our time <strong>and</strong> to set out more clearly<br />
the scope of its work, in order
PROCEEDINGS 127<br />
(1) that the Convention may be asked to approve a more adequate service in<br />
this field than it has hitherto undertaken,<br />
(2) that the Commission itself may have warrant <strong>and</strong> guidance in projecting<br />
a definite program of service, <strong>and</strong><br />
(3) that the measure of the support allocated to the Commission may be more<br />
accurately arrived at.<br />
2. Concerning Beverage Alcohol <strong>and</strong> Temperance<br />
We recommend: (1) That the Convention express its appreciation of the<br />
work being done by the National Temperance <strong>and</strong> Prohibition Council; <strong>and</strong><br />
endorse its legislative <strong>and</strong> educational program, both state <strong>and</strong> federal, looking<br />
toward the curtailment <strong>and</strong> eventual eradication of the liquor traffic <strong>and</strong> its<br />
attendant social evils (see the Commission Report).<br />
(2) That we urge the Baptists in the several states to co-operate with <strong>and</strong><br />
support heartily the temperance organizations (or organization) in each state<br />
which are rendering worthy service in the fight against alcoholism <strong>and</strong> the liquor<br />
traffic.<br />
(3) That we urge upon our pastors the importance of providing for our<br />
young people a program of temperance education, the effects of alcohol upon<br />
body, mind <strong>and</strong> soul; that in the pulpit <strong>and</strong> in study classes effort be made to<br />
fortify our people against the drinking customs of our day <strong>and</strong> the personal <strong>and</strong><br />
social immoralities that are inevitably associated with them; <strong>and</strong> that total<br />
abstinence pledges be renewed, especially among young Christians, in the Sunday<br />
school <strong>and</strong> other organizations in the churches.<br />
3. Concerning Baptists <strong>and</strong> Race Relations<br />
We recommend, in the light of the relation of Southern Baptists to the racial<br />
problems of our l<strong>and</strong>, <strong>and</strong> in the light of our brotherly relationship with three<br />
<strong>and</strong> a half million Negro Baptists in the South,<br />
That the Convention appoint a committee of nine, composed of one member<br />
each from the Home Mission Board, the Commission on the American Baptist<br />
Theological Seminary, the Committee on Negro Theological Education, the Public<br />
Relations Committee <strong>and</strong> the Social Service Commission, <strong>and</strong> four additional<br />
members, to review the service now being rendered by Southern Baptists to the<br />
Negro race, to study the whole race situation, especially in its moral <strong>and</strong> religious<br />
aspects <strong>and</strong> meaning, to consider the responsibility of Baptists in the problems<br />
of adjustment of inter-racial relations, <strong>and</strong> make recommendations of procedure<br />
to the Convention, looking toward a larger fulfillment of our responsibility in<br />
the total situation <strong>and</strong> particularly with reference to helpful co-operation with<br />
our fellow Baptists in the Negro race.<br />
4. Concerning Conscientious Objectors<br />
Whereas request comes from National Service Board for Religious Objectors<br />
that the Southern Baptist Convention take under consideration the ^service<br />
rendered during the war by other denominations to conscientious objectors who<br />
were members of Southern Baptist churches, <strong>and</strong> the expense they incurred in<br />
that service, <strong>and</strong><br />
Whereas the churches of our Convention have not fully reimbursed the agencies<br />
who lent assistance to the members, <strong>and</strong> the Convention itself has taken no<br />
direct action in the matter beyond acting as a receiver of voluntary funds.<br />
We recommend that the Executive Committee of the Convention be requested<br />
to study the facts of the situation <strong>and</strong> take such action as in its judgment the<br />
Convention should rightfully take in the matter.<br />
We further urge upon the President of the United States <strong>and</strong> the military<br />
authorities to grant amnesty at the earliest possible moment to the conscientious<br />
objectors still held in camps or prisons.<br />
5. Concerning Military Conscription<br />
We recommend that the Convention go on record (for reasons stated in the<br />
Commission Report) as opposing universal <strong>and</strong> compulsory military training of
128 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
American youth in peacetime, <strong>and</strong> that the Convention in the interest of world<br />
peace <strong>and</strong> human freedom urge the President of the United States, the Congress,<br />
<strong>and</strong> the United States representatives in the United Nations to support with<br />
determination the movement to abolish peacetime military conscription in all the<br />
nations of the world.<br />
6. Concerning Moral Conditions in Military Camps Abroad<br />
Well authenticated reports, coming through enlisted men, officers, news<br />
porters <strong>and</strong> others, establish beyond doubt the fact that moral <strong>and</strong> social conditions<br />
in American military camps in Europe <strong>and</strong> the Orient, involving both<br />
enlisted men <strong>and</strong> officers, are such as to bring disgrace upon the name of our<br />
country, <strong>and</strong> fear <strong>and</strong> grief to the hearts of parents who have given their sons<br />
to the service.<br />
We recommend, therefore, that the Convention add its voice to the protest<br />
that rises from the whole nation <strong>and</strong> urge that the military authorities do all<br />
in their power to establish <strong>and</strong> maintain decency of conduct among all our<br />
military forces, at the same time commending the action of General McNarney<br />
<strong>and</strong> others who are engaging in efforts to accomplish this end.<br />

73. The report of the Committee on Preservation of Baptist Hi<br />
tory was presented <strong>and</strong> discussed by Chairman W. 0. Carver, Kentucky,<br />
<strong>and</strong> adopted.<br />
PRESERVATION OF BAPTIST HISTORY<br />
The Committee had a meeting in Nashville in January at which its work<br />
was surveyed, its needs appraised <strong>and</strong> some important plans projected.<br />
We took seriously into account the fact that we now have three distinct<br />
approaches to the matter of the discovery, collection, preservation <strong>and</strong> use of<br />
our Baptist history materials. Throusrh all of these w» are faiMne to deal at<br />
all adequately with the subject. We were thoroughly convinced that these<br />
various approaches must somehow be effectively related. Perhaps they can be<br />
lareelv integrated. It was our judgment <strong>and</strong> hope that it might seem "wise for<br />
the Historical Society to be adopted bv the Convention as its acency for the<br />
work of this field. We recognize that there are difficulties in this proposal.<br />
At our suegestion a special committee of the Executive Board was appointed to<br />
confer with our Committee with reference to this. We had in conference with<br />
us Secretary Porter Routh of t^e Department of Statistics, Survey, <strong>and</strong> Information<br />
of the Sunday School Board.<br />
It is clear that it will require time to work through to a satisfactory adjustment.<br />
. It is our expectation that this can be done in time for recommendations<br />
to <strong>and</strong> action by the Convention in 1947. It is proposed that this Committee<br />
as designated by this Convention will hold a full session at Rideecrest during<br />
the last week in August, at which time the r e will be a meeting of the Historical<br />
Society. This will be an opportune time for full conference of all the committees<br />
<strong>and</strong> agencies in our proposed unification of our various present<br />
approaches to this whole subject.<br />
We are able to report that the Historical Society continues to operate as<br />
largely <strong>and</strong> as successfully as its meager resources make possible. Considerable<br />
additions have been made to its materials within the last year, including some<br />
<strong>hundred</strong>s of volumes from the libraries of W. 0. Carver <strong>and</strong> the late Drs. C. M.<br />
Thompson <strong>and</strong> M. P. Hunt <strong>and</strong> from Mrs. John S. Spalding from the collections<br />
of her gr<strong>and</strong>father, Governor Joseph Emerson Brown <strong>and</strong> her father-in-law<br />
Dr. A. T. Spalding, as well as her own. Hundreds of items of pamphlet <strong>and</strong><br />
magazine material, minutes, tracts, etc., have been given.<br />
The financial support now provided for this important work is wholly<br />
inadequate for the proper operations <strong>and</strong> needs in this field. The increase in<br />
appropriation for our work in the current year is most welcome. However it
PROCEEDINGS 129<br />
is meager compared with the needs. Southern Presbyterians have at Montreat<br />
a great collection under the promotion <strong>and</strong> direction of a fully employed<br />
director <strong>and</strong> clerical help. They are at this time engaged in raising a fund of<br />
not less than $75,000.00 for a special building for housing the materials <strong>and</strong> for<br />
administrative offices. The great wealth of materials that needs to be collected<br />
by us is far greater than that of the Southern Presbyterians.<br />
We regret, to have to report that the history of the first <strong>hundred</strong> years of<br />
Southern Baptists under our own Convention has not yet been completed as<br />
we had expected. The long continued, desperate illness of Mrs. Barnes, culminating<br />
in her death the latter part of March, made it impossible for him to<br />
devote the necessary time for completion of the manuscript. The work is far<br />
advanced, so that we may confidently look forward to its completion in time for<br />
publication before the next Convention.<br />
We are aware of a number of items of definite interest in the field of history<br />
in the various states, <strong>and</strong> of certain special projects; but it is not necessary to<br />
detail them in this report. We do call attention to the opportunities which<br />
will now be opened up for availing ourselves of the micro-filming process for<br />
accumulating documentary materials as soon as funds can be made available<br />
for this.<br />
Now that we have entered upon our second century as an organized denomination<br />
<strong>and</strong> in a time of unprecedented crisis it is urgent'that we take account<br />
of<br />
W.<br />
our<br />
O.<br />

RADIO COMMITTEE<br />
S. F. LOWE. Director<br />
In this year of 1946 Southern Baptists begin their second century <strong>and</strong> radio<br />
begins the second quarter of its first century. In this new century which Southern<br />
Baptists are launching this year, radio will be an inevitable factor which<br />
cannot be overlooked. True, with radio alone Southern Baptists will not be<br />
able to win the victories God would have, but we cannot hope to win the victories<br />
God has planned for us without an extensive use of radio.<br />
I. THE RADIO PICTURE<br />
According to published reports, big business spent $311,500,000 advertising<br />
its wares by radio in 1945. Increasingly, radio is taking a larger percentage<br />
of the advertising dollar in the American business setup. There is a reason for<br />
this; it is recognized that what is spent in advertising by radio produces results.<br />
Big business is convinced that radio influences the lives <strong>and</strong> actions of<br />
the people of America.<br />
In round figures, there were 950 radio stations in the United States as of<br />
October 1, 1944. Hundreds of new permits have been granted for the erection
130 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
<strong>and</strong> operation of new radio stations since that time. Many <strong>hundred</strong>s more of<br />
applications are now before the Federal Communications Commission. Best<br />
informed radio leadership predict that within five years there will be from<br />
three to five thous<strong>and</strong> radio stations in America. Radio will, therefore, inevitably<br />
occupy a more influential place in American life in the immediate future.<br />
The explanation of the increasing number of stations is in the fact that the<br />
frequency modulation station makes it possible to increase the number of stations.<br />
Frequency modulation also produces clarity in reception, <strong>and</strong> can be<br />
built <strong>and</strong> operated at a low cost which the st<strong>and</strong>ard stations cannot meet. Thus,<br />
every community can now have its own radio station, <strong>and</strong> indeed in many of<br />
the larger communities groups <strong>and</strong> special interests will own <strong>and</strong> operate their<br />
own stations. Southern Baptist pastors <strong>and</strong> other leaders should so identify<br />
themselves with <strong>and</strong> integrate themselves into the erection <strong>and</strong> operation of<br />
every FM station, wherever practical, as to open the way for regular broadcasting<br />
of the gospel message at good hours. In the near future the Radio<br />
Committee hopes to offer a practical pattern for such cooperation.<br />
It is also a fact that in the radio picture of the immediate future television<br />
will occupy a larger place. Many of the best radio authorities predict that<br />
within a very brief time television will be bringing picture <strong>and</strong> sound into the<br />
family living room with a reality never enjoyed in human experience. This new<br />
development will produce the same revolutionizing results in the field of radio<br />
that the talkie produced in the moving picture industry within the last two<br />
decades. Wisdom dem<strong>and</strong>s that within the very near future the Radio Committee<br />
be enabled to build <strong>and</strong> equip a television studio <strong>and</strong> prepare itself to<br />
produce television programs on a par with commercial programs. Earlier than<br />
we can realize, Southern Baptists must meet the responsibility of this new open<br />
door in radio. We should get ready for it.<br />
Such television studio <strong>and</strong> equipment will be easily adaptable to the production<br />
of sound-pictures, thus enabling Southern Baptists to produce their own<br />
visual-aid pictures rather than having to use what other faiths <strong>and</strong> no faith<br />
produce for us.<br />
Increasingly, broadcasting by shortwave is being perfected. As evidence,<br />
in World War II the American Government comm<strong>and</strong>eered every shortwave<br />
radio station in American life <strong>and</strong> used these stations in a war of ideas. Thus<br />
by this method all the nations of the world are brought into immediate proximity<br />
to our own l<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> people. Not only so, but as shortwave is perfected<br />
it will become a more powerful factor in our own national setup, as well as<br />
internationally.<br />
Indeed, many radio engineering experts tell us today that present radio<br />
methods may become outmoded by newer, better, <strong>and</strong> less expensive methods<br />
of broadcasting within a short time.<br />
Regardless of developments in the field of radio <strong>and</strong> of what form the<br />
radio picture may take, it is an inevitable fact that human life <strong>and</strong> action in the<br />
century into which Southern Baptists now enter will be tremendously affected<br />
by radio. Thus, there rests upon the shoulders of Southern Baptists the<br />
tremendous responsibility of using this new <strong>and</strong> comparatively inexpensive medium<br />
of communication for the propagation of the gospel.<br />
The report to follow will reflect what Southern Baptists are doing <strong>and</strong> wil<br />
suggest new lines of development in this radio program of today <strong>and</strong> tomorrow.<br />
II. THE BAPTIST HOUR<br />
1. SECOND SERIES OF 1945—APRIL-JUNE<br />
The Baptist Hour was on a southwide independent network covering practically<br />
all of the South for <strong>six</strong> months of 1945, <strong>and</strong> again for <strong>six</strong> months of<br />
1946. Report was made last year of the first quarter of the 1945 Baptist Hour.<br />
The second quarter of the 1945 Baptist Hour covered the period \pril through<br />
June.<br />
(1) Subjects <strong>and</strong> Speakers<br />
The subjects <strong>and</strong> speakers for this period were:<br />
April 1—"The Risen Lord" Dr. Robert G. Lee<br />
April 8—"What Shall I Do With Jesus?" Dr. C. Oscar Johnson<br />
April 15—"Christ is Able" Rev. Garl<strong>and</strong> A. Hendricks
PROCEEDINGS 131<br />
April 22—Junior Day "Christ Knocks at the Door" Dr. W. H. Knight<br />
April 29—"The Seeking Saviour" Dr. W. H. Knight<br />
May 6—Special Baptist Centennial Program various speakers<br />
May 13—"Behold the Lamb of God" Dr. M. E. Dodd<br />
May 20—Intermediate Day "The Good Shepherd" Dr. M. E, Dodd<br />
May 27—"God So Loved the World" Dr. M. E Dodd<br />
June 3—"How Can a Man be Born Again" Dr Ellis A. Fuller<br />
June 10—"Is Death the End?" Dr. Ellis A. Fuller<br />
June 17—Young People's Day "What Lack I Yet?" Dr. Ellis A. Fuller<br />
June 24—"Does Jesus Care?" Dr. Ellis A. Fuller<br />
The stations during that second period were practically the same as t<br />
first period of 1945 <strong>and</strong> of the 1946 Baptist Hour except during this April-<br />
June period most of the stations on our network in the Eastern Zone were<br />
used by the Presbyterians for a Presbyterian Hour that covered that area.<br />
(2) Special Features<br />
A special feature in the second period of 1945 was the radio breakfasts<br />
held for junior departments on April 22, <strong>and</strong> for intermediates on May 20, <strong>and</strong><br />
for young people's departments on June 17. The reports from these respective<br />
departments were never completed, but the reports that we have received<br />
in the Radio Office from the junior breakfasts, at which time the Baptist Hour<br />
speaker brought an evangelistic message, <strong>and</strong> appealed for decision, indicate<br />
that more than two <strong>hundred</strong> junior boys <strong>and</strong> 'girls made a definite surrender<br />
to Christ <strong>and</strong> public profession of faith in Christ during that breakfast period.<br />
The radio breakfast idea was new <strong>and</strong> it was most difficult to get thi<br />
for so large a group as Southern Baptists, but the results were most gratifying.<br />
We expect to attempt a similar effort during the July-September Baptist Hour<br />
of 1946, <strong>and</strong> we confidently expect the results to be most gratifying.<br />
2. FIRST SERIES OF 1946—JANUARY-MARCH 10<br />
Again, in 1946 Southern Baptists will have <strong>six</strong> months on the Baptist Hour.<br />
During the first three months period, January-March, the subject was "Following<br />
Christ in the Paths of Peace."<br />

132 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
(2) Subjects <strong>and</strong> Speakers<br />
The speakers <strong>and</strong> subjects during this firsc period of the 1946 Baptist Hour,<br />
were, as follows:<br />
January 6—"The Lordship of Christ" Dr. W. Marshall Craig<br />
January 13—"The Source of Peace" Dr. Robert E. Humphreys<br />
January 20—"Life's Supreme Allegiance" Dr. W. O. Vaught, Jr.<br />
January 27—"Courage for the Tests of Peace" Dr. Francis P. Gaines<br />
February 3—"That the World May Know'' Dr. Baker J. Cauthen<br />
February 10—"Freedom for All Men" Dr. J. W. Storer<br />
February 24—"Christian Men for a Better World" Hon. J. M. Broughton<br />
March 3—"We Must Believe" Dr. Clifton J. Allen<br />
March 10—"Christian Justice in Human Relations" Dr. Clarence W. Cranford<br />
(3) Publicity<br />
In connection with this first period of the 1946 Baptist Hour, the Radio<br />
Committee sent out more than 18.000 news releases publicizing this radio feature<br />
through county <strong>and</strong> daily newspapers <strong>and</strong> through the Baptist press <strong>and</strong><br />
through the literature published by the Sunday School Board, as well as by <strong>hundred</strong>s<br />
of thous<strong>and</strong>s of small cards. Thus the Baptist Hour was brought to the<br />
attention of literally millions of people. It is. therefore, not surprising that<br />
the audiences this year for these Sunday morning broadcasts were tremendous.<br />
A conservative estimate is that every Sunday morning we averaged from a<br />
million <strong>and</strong> a half to three million people listening to the program. Thus basing<br />
our estimate upon the most conservative figure, one dollar invested in the<br />
Baptist Hour carries the gospel to two thous<strong>and</strong> people. We maintain that<br />
this is a very inexpensive way of carrying a 30-minute program of music <strong>and</strong><br />
gospel message to so many people.<br />
3. SECOND SERIES OF 1946—JULY-SEPTEMBER<br />
(1) Subjects <strong>and</strong> Speakers<br />
During the second 1946 Baptist Hour, July-September, the speakers will be.<br />
as follows:<br />
July 7—"Christian Patriotism for the New Day" Hon. Ellis Arnall<br />
July 14—"Christian Strategy for World Conquest" R. Paul Caudill<br />

September 8, 15, 22, 29 (to be announced) Duke K. McCall<br />
(2) Stations<br />
The stations will be practically the same as those broadcasting the first 1946<br />
Baptist Hour, with some possible slight changes. The subjects will be selected<br />
by a special committee on program composed of members of the Radio Committee<br />
<strong>and</strong> speakers. The subjects selected will be announced through the Baptist<br />
press within the next few weeks.<br />
(3) Value of Network Broadcasts<br />
There are many practical values in the Baptist Hour which make it eminently<br />
worth while, some of which are as follows:<br />
Through this medium:<br />
a. The gospel message is heard by millions of people; many individuals are<br />
saved, while multiplied thous<strong>and</strong>s of others are strengthened in the faith.<br />
b. Many thous<strong>and</strong>s without good gospel advantages hear our best in song<br />
<strong>and</strong> sermon.<br />
c. Other thous<strong>and</strong>s who, for inability or indifference, are shutout from<br />
regular church services hear the gospel.<br />
d. Large numbers of other faiths who do not otherwise have the privilege<br />
come to know <strong>and</strong> appreciate Baptists <strong>and</strong> the gospel as known <strong>and</strong> taught<br />
by them.<br />
e. Our loosely organized democracy of nearly <strong>six</strong> million members of every<br />
stage of culture <strong>and</strong> position in over 25,000 churches experience a sense of unity<br />
in fellowship <strong>and</strong> action which they already enjoy in belief.
PROCEEDINGS 11<br />
f. Our pastors, many of whom serve small quarter-time churches are<br />
strengthened <strong>and</strong> encouraged for their tasks by the renewed sense of fellowship<br />
with our great Baptist hosts <strong>and</strong> with our God, as they often write us.<br />
III. THE SOUTHERN RELIGIOUS RADIO CONFERENCE<br />
When Southern Baptists asked the stations to carry the Baptist Hour for<br />
<strong>six</strong> months in 1945, station management, though expressing appreciation of<br />
the program, advised us that they cannot afford to carry so large amount of<br />
broadcasting by one denomination when no other denominations are on the<br />
stations in such broadcasts. They insisted that if it could be arranged for<br />
other leading denominations of the South to alternate with Baptists there<br />
would be no embarrassment to the stations for Baptists to broadcast the Baptist<br />
Hour for <strong>six</strong> months in the year. For this reason, the Baptist Radio Committee<br />
has entered into the Southern Religious Radio Conference which is composed<br />
of the radio committees of the Presbyterian Church in the United States<br />
<strong>and</strong> of a special committee of the Methodist groups in the South. Other Southern<br />
religious groups may be admitted to membership.<br />
1. Constitution <strong>and</strong> By-Laws<br />
In the Constitution <strong>and</strong> By-Laws of the Southern Religious Radio Conference<br />
the interests of the Radio Committee <strong>and</strong> of Southern Baptists are<br />
protected, as follows:<br />
(1) The purpose of the Conference is limited to the task of arranging for<br />
the various members of the religious groups in the conference to be on a southwide<br />
network as is set forth in Article I of the Constitution, which reads:<br />
"The objective shall be to attempt to solve the traffic problem in<br />
evangelical broadcasting over Southern independent networks in<br />
such a manner as to avoid embarrassment to radio management"<br />
by two or more denominational groups which we represent requesting<br />
the same broadcasting time, <strong>and</strong> further to seek by way<br />
of cooperation to present the best possible independent religious<br />
network program."<br />
(2) Baptists in connection with the Conference are not limiting the amount<br />
of time they will have on the air as is specified in Article IV of the Constitution,<br />
which reads:<br />
"If <strong>and</strong> when -the total network broadcasting time by all cooperating<br />
groups becomes greater than one independent Southern<br />
network can provide, the Conference may seek to arrange for<br />
another such independent Southern network, <strong>and</strong> thus supply the<br />
total radio dem<strong>and</strong>s of the cooperating groups."<br />
(3) The Baptist program on such network shall remain distinctively the<br />
Baptist Hour, as is set forth in Article V of the Constitution, which reads, as<br />
follows:<br />
"Each cooperating group shall be free to present Bible Truths<br />
positively <strong>and</strong> constructively as interpreted by its own group in<br />
accordance with the ethics of good broadcasting."<br />
It is a fact that increasingly radio networks of the nation <strong>and</strong> local stations<br />
are dealing only with cooperating religious groups in the matter of allotting<br />
time for religious broadcasts on the stations <strong>and</strong> networks. For this reason,<br />
it is of tremendous advantage that Southern Baptists are in such a Southern<br />
conference both from the st<strong>and</strong>point of the stations <strong>and</strong> also from the<br />
st<strong>and</strong>point of Southern Baptist broadcasting.<br />
(4) It is also true that Southern Baptists can honorably withdraw from<br />
the Southern Religious Radio Conference, as is stipulated in Article III of the<br />
Constitution, which reads:<br />
"Any denomination may withdraw from the Conference at any<br />
time, provided it has satisfied all commitments for the programs<br />
to the cooperating stations in the network."<br />
Our Baptist people can rest assured that the Radio Committee has not <strong>and</strong><br />
will not enter into any commitment in connection with the Southern Religious<br />
Radio Conference which will not protect <strong>and</strong> advance the interests of Southern<br />
Baptists in the field of broadcasting. It appears now that such cooperation<br />
offers distinctive advantages to all the cooperating groups.
134 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
IV. TRANSCRIPTIONS<br />
1. TRANSCRIPTION LIBRARY<br />
As rapidly as is practical, the Radio Committee is accumulating a library<br />
of transcribed programs of music <strong>and</strong> message of top quality for use over local<br />
stations by local pastors <strong>and</strong> groups. Every transcribed program in our library<br />
is available to any pastor, to any church, <strong>and</strong> to any denominational group for<br />
such service as may be desired. The Radio Committee also defrays the cost of<br />
transportation, both to the station <strong>and</strong> return, so that there is absolutely no cost<br />
to our Baptist people for the use of any transcriptions in the library of the<br />
Radio Committee.<br />
We have thous<strong>and</strong>s of transcriptions of a wide variety of programs <strong>and</strong><br />
speakers, <strong>and</strong> we are adding to this constantly. Since the last Convention, the<br />
Radio Committee, through the courtesy <strong>and</strong> cooperation of the Central Baptist<br />
Church of Miami, has made a new series of transcriptions with Dr. C. Roy<br />
Angell as the speaker. The music was by the Choir of the First Baptist Church<br />
of Atlanta, Georgia. Dr. Angell is at his best in these programs <strong>and</strong> the stations<br />
together with our Baptist people <strong>and</strong> others express highest appreciation<br />
of the programs. During the past Convention year, we have also made a new<br />
series of programs on the subject of The Christian Home with President Walter<br />
Pope Binns of William Jewell College of Missouri as the speaker. At this writing<br />
these programs have not been broadcast, but we are confident that a great<br />
service will be rendered <strong>and</strong> that the messages will be received with pleasure<br />
<strong>and</strong> profit by all who have the advantage of them. This series is 15 minutes<br />
in length while Dr. Angell's programs are 30 minutes in length.<br />
It should be stated in this connection that seventy-five stations through<br />
the Southl<strong>and</strong> will broadcast a series of 15-minute programs with messages<br />
on the subject of The Christian Home during Christian Home Week, May 5-11.<br />
Some stations are using the series by Dr. Binns, while others are using another<br />
series with Dr. Ted F. Adams as speaker. A few of the stations are using some<br />
of both series. In round figures, four <strong>hundred</strong> broadcasts will be given in<br />
which these two outst<strong>and</strong>ing leaders <strong>and</strong> preachers among Southern Baptists<br />
will present the claims of Christ upon the American home. An unparalleled<br />
service will undoubtedly be rendered.<br />
Here is a list of the transcribed programs now in the library of the Radi<br />
Committee:<br />
(1) New Devotional Sermons Series—Dr. Angell, Preacher<br />
This is a new series of fourteen 30-minute inspirational messages<br />
with Dr. C. Roy Angell of Miami as the speaker.<br />
(2) New Christian Home Series President Binns, Preacher<br />
This is a new series of <strong>six</strong> 15-minute programs on the Christian Home.<br />
Dr. Walter Pope Binns of Liberty, Missouri, brings these messages.<br />
(3) Evangelistic Series<br />
a. Dr. M. E. Dodd, Preacher<br />
This series of fourteen 30-minute evangelistic programs has Dr.<br />
M. E. Dodd of Shreveport, Louisiana, as the speaker.<br />
b. Dr. Ralph A. Herring, Preacher<br />
Dr. Ralph A. Herring of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is the<br />
speaker in these fourteen 30-minute evangelistic programs.<br />
(4) Inspirational Series—Dr. Truett, Preacher<br />
We now have <strong>forty</strong>-eight of Dr. George W. Truett's messages on<br />
transcription. These are 30 minutes in length <strong>and</strong> are an inspirational<br />
sermon series.<br />
(5) Christian Home Series—Dr. Adams, Preacher<br />
There are fourteen 15-minute programs in this series on the general<br />
subject of the Christian Home. Dr. Ted F. Adams of Richmond,<br />
Virginia, is the speaker. They have been used over scores of stations.<br />
(6) Bible Study Series—Dr. Tribble, Preacher<br />
This Bible Study series with Dr. Harold W. Tribble of Louisville,<br />
Kentucky, as speaker, is on the Book of Philippians. There are <strong>six</strong> of<br />
these 30-minute programs.
(7) Centennial Series<br />
PROCEEDINGS 135<br />
Sixteen 15-minute transcribed Centennial programs featuring every<br />
phase of denominational life <strong>and</strong> some major Baptist beliefs, were broadcast<br />
over 58 stations throughout our Convention territory during our<br />
Centennial Year of 1945.<br />
During the year 1945, a total of 2147 programs from our transcription<br />
library were broadcast throughout the territory of the Southern Baptist Convention.<br />
During the first quarter of 1946 an average of 39 stations were<br />
broadcasting at least one transcribed program from our library every week.<br />
This was in addition to the Baptist Hour series on a network of thirty-seven<br />
stations during this period.<br />
2. VETERAN HOSPITALS—TRANSCRIBED DEVOTIONALS<br />
The Radio Committee is launching a new service by the medium of transcribed<br />
programs in connection with Government <strong>and</strong> Veteran Hospitals<br />
throughout the nation. In cooperation with other members of the Southern<br />
Religious Radio Conference, we shall offer a daily 15-minute transcribed devotional<br />
program of message <strong>and</strong> music for use over public address systems in<br />
Government <strong>and</strong> Veteran Hospitals throughout the nation. This service should<br />
be in operation by July 1 of this year or earlier. The title of the series will<br />
be, "Upstairs Incorporated," <strong>and</strong> the objective will be.to lead our hospitalized<br />
veterans of World War II <strong>and</strong> of World War I to look up to our Heavenly<br />
Father through Christ in these devotional moments.<br />
It should be said in this connection that the Southern Religious Radio Conference<br />
already has the green light from Chiefs of Chaplains of the Navy <strong>and</strong><br />
Army <strong>and</strong> of the Veterans Administration respectively to proceed with offering<br />
these programs to the hospitals for use. Dr. Alfred Carpenter, who has<br />
been the liaison officer between the military <strong>and</strong> Southern Baptists during the<br />
War predicts that the opportunity of this service will tax the financial capacity<br />
of Southern Baptists <strong>and</strong> other members of the Southern Religious Radio<br />
Conference.<br />
It should also be stated in this connection that the Baptist programs in such<br />
effort will present Baptist pastors <strong>and</strong> laymen <strong>and</strong> we have the same privilege<br />
of maintaining our identity in presenting the gospel truth as we know it which<br />
we have in our regular Baptist Hour programs.<br />
V. COOPERATION WITH OTHER SOUTHERN<br />
BAPTIST CONVENTION AGENCIES<br />
1. POLICY<br />
In its 1944 session in Atlanta, the Southern Baptist Convention instructed<br />
the Radio Committee to: "Thoroughly study the radio needs of the entire Convention,<br />
including the various agencies, boards <strong>and</strong> institutions of the Convention<br />
<strong>and</strong>, in cooperation with said agencies, boards <strong>and</strong> institutions, to provide<br />
the needed equipment <strong>and</strong> programs to meet their needs when feasible <strong>and</strong> in<br />
keeping with the bu'dget of the Radio Committee. The above service is to be<br />
rendered in addition to the regular broadcasting of the Baotist Hour <strong>and</strong> in<br />
addition to the committee's regular transcription programs."<br />
There are two ample reasons for the Southern Baptist Convention following<br />
this policy of the regular broadcasting by the agencies of the Convention<br />
being cleared through the Radio Committee, as follows:<br />
a. The Radio Committee is seeking to effect all broadcasting possible over<br />
all the stations in the entire Southern Baptist Convention territory. Then while<br />
the Radio Committee is pressing a program of broadcasting if other agencies<br />
should, at the same time, be approaching the same stations seeking time for<br />
broadcasting, station management would become confused. Undoubtedly such<br />
procedure would defeat Southern Baptist effort in the field of radio.<br />
b. The Radio Committee is seeking to know how to produce <strong>and</strong> present<br />
religious programs of the highest quality <strong>and</strong>, if Southern Baptists will use this<br />
agency that gives all of its time <strong>and</strong> thought <strong>and</strong> experience to the production<br />
<strong>and</strong> presentation of radio broadcasting, it is possible to do a better job in the<br />
field of radio.
136 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
2. PROGRAMS<br />
During the previous year your Radio Committee has cooperated with th<br />
agencies of the Convention in the broadcasting of programs of special interest<br />
to such agencies, as follows:<br />
(1) Intermediate Emphasis Week<br />
In connection with Intermediate Emphasis Week in September, 1945, we<br />
cooperated with the Sunday School Board in the production of two transcribed<br />
programs with Mr. Versil Crenshaw <strong>and</strong> Miss Mary Alice Biby as speakers,<br />
respectively, in which appeal was made to intermediates for surrender to Christ<br />
<strong>and</strong> the dedication of life <strong>and</strong> talents to his service.<br />
Arrangements were made for the broadcasting of these programs over 86<br />
stations throughout the territory of the Convention <strong>and</strong> the Sunday School<br />
Board gave such wide publicity to the programs among intermediates <strong>and</strong> intermediate<br />
leaders that a total of literally thous<strong>and</strong>s of intermediates, either in<br />
groups or individually, heard the broadcasts <strong>and</strong> were blessed by the messages.<br />
Undoubtedly a real contribution was rendered to the cause of Christ as fostered<br />
by Baptists.<br />
(2) Layman's Day<br />
In connection with Layman's Day in October, 1945, the Radio Committe<br />
cooperated with the Baptist Brotherhood of the South in arranging for a large<br />
number of broadcasts, both live <strong>and</strong> by transcription, throughout the territory<br />
of the Convention. In cooperation with the Brotherhood leadership of Georgia,<br />
a network broadcast was arranged with Governor Ellis Arnall as the speaker. A<br />
sufficient number of stations were enlisted to give practically saturation coverage<br />
in Georgia <strong>and</strong> some areas beyond the borders of Georgia. A real service<br />
was rendered through the message of Governor Arnall <strong>and</strong> the inspirational<br />
music by the Choir of the First Baptist Church of Atlanta.<br />
In cooperation with Secretary Lawson H. Cook <strong>and</strong> his associates, the Radio<br />
Committee has already arranged with Governor Ellis Arnall of Georgia to record<br />
a special Layman's Day message for broadcast over stations throughout the.<br />
South on Layman's Day October 20.<br />
(3) Royal Ambassadors<br />
In cooperation with Glendon McCullough <strong>and</strong> the Georgia W.M.U., the<br />
Radio Committee presented a special Georgia network program on Armistice<br />
Day of 1945 featuring a special Royal Ambassador program.<br />
(4) Home Mission Board<br />
Beginning with January 1, 1946, the Radio Committee is cooperating w<br />
the Home Mission Board in an extensive evangelistic broadcasting program by<br />
transcription. It has been arranged for this program to be integrated with the<br />
City Missions program of the Home Board together with other phases of Home<br />
Board missionary services throughout the territory. A total of 26 stations are<br />
broadcasting the programs. We are especially grateful that 7 stations in<br />
Arizona, where the Home Board is carrying on an extensive Home Mission<br />
program, are broadcasting these programs every week.<br />
We expect several stations in New Mexico to begin broadcasting this series<br />
soon.<br />
The Radio Committee is producing the programs, using the Baptist Hour<br />
Choir. The production man of the Radio Committee, who is in charge of all<br />
program production for the Committee, is giving his time <strong>and</strong> talents in pro-<br />
' during the programs.<br />
Dr. Lawrence is preaching in the programs <strong>and</strong> his evangelistic messages<br />
are positively superb. Reports from all sections of our Convention where these<br />
broadcasts are being given are most encouraging.<br />
Through this method of cooperation the Radio Committee approaches the<br />
stations, engages the time, <strong>and</strong> h<strong>and</strong>les all details so that there can be no<br />
conflict between the Radio Committee <strong>and</strong> the Home Mission Board in dealing<br />
with the radio management over whose stations the broadcasts are being given.<br />
may every As be agency far practical.<br />
as of possible, the Convention the Radio in Committee such broadcasting st<strong>and</strong>s as ready may to be cooperate desired <strong>and</strong> with as
PROCEEDINGS 137<br />
VI. A NEW RADIO STUDIO<br />
Production traffic in the regular radio studios is so heavy, <strong>and</strong> the studio<br />
dem<strong>and</strong>s of the Radio Committee have .become so considerable that it has become<br />
absolutely necessary for the Radio Committee to have a production studio<br />
of its own where programs may be produced <strong>and</strong> rehearsals held without worry<br />
<strong>and</strong> at times suitable for production personnel.<br />
It is a fact that some of the transcribed programs produced by the Radio<br />
Committee have had to originate in churches in the city of Atlanta, <strong>and</strong> it is<br />
most difficult to produce a good program in a church that is so large <strong>and</strong> where<br />
the organ, choir, <strong>and</strong> the whole setup, are not arranged for broadcasting.<br />
This emergency of the Radio Committee was presented to the Executive<br />
Committee of the Convention last fall <strong>and</strong> the money was appropriated for the<br />
expense of the studio together with the equipment.<br />
Except for delay in receiving equipment, due to strikes in electrical plants.<br />
this studio would have been in operation not later than March first of this year!<br />
It should be said in this connection that when all equipment is in, the Radio<br />
Committee will be able to effect a substantial saving in connection with its<br />
transcribed programs.<br />
Under the leadership of Dr. L. D. Newton, the Druid Hills Baptist Church<br />
of Atlanta has generously granted the Radio Committee free use of a building<br />
on its property which is well adapted to radio studio purposes. This grant is<br />
without cost. The Convention joins the Radio Committee in our expression of<br />
appreciation to this great church <strong>and</strong> pastor for this courtesy.<br />
VII. PRODUCTION ASSISTANT<br />
In an effort to produce programs of superior quality, both for the Baptist<br />
Hour network <strong>and</strong> by the method of transcription, <strong>and</strong> in order to relieve the<br />
Director of some of the many details of the radio service which has grown to<br />
rather large proportions, the Radio Committee has secured the services of Mr.<br />
Warde Adams who has had 15 years experience in the production of radio programs.<br />
Mr. Adams was a member of the First Baptist Church of Richmond,<br />
Virginia, <strong>and</strong> comes to the committee highly recommended by the pastor <strong>and</strong><br />
' members of the First Baptist Church. Mr. Adams also stated that he has<br />
felt the definite lead of the Lord to enter the field of religious broadcasting as<br />
a service to his Lord <strong>and</strong> Master. He is recognized as one of the most capable<br />
production men in the field of radio.<br />
VIII. NATION-WIDE BROADCASTS<br />
Increasingly, the national networks are dealing only with central agencies<br />
which represent large numbers of denominational groups in connection with<br />
nation-wide broadcasts. For example, National Broadcasting Co., clears all of<br />
its broadcasting programs for Protestants <strong>and</strong> Baptists through the Federal<br />
Council of Churches. It does not deal with any denominational groups. The<br />
only consideration given to individual groups is the coming of Dr. Walter Van<br />
Kirk to the Convention for its annual meeting <strong>and</strong> who makes a nation-wide<br />
news report of the Convention, thus rendering a substantial service to Southern<br />
Baptists, for which we are grateful.<br />
The American Broadcasting Company has followed very closely the policy<br />
of the National Broadcasting Company in allotting its religious time to organizations<br />
which represent all Protestants <strong>and</strong> Baptists, giving no time to individual<br />
denominational groups. In other words, A.B.C. clears all of its time for evangelical<br />
broadcasting through the Federal Council of Churches, <strong>and</strong> Southern<br />
Baptists 1 are not represented in the Federal Council of Churches. However, it<br />
should be said in this connection that A.B.C. has sent their Dr. Bradford S.<br />
Abernethy to the Convention on one or two occasions in order to cover the<br />
Convention in a nation-wide news broadcast which was a real service to the<br />
cause of Southern Baptists<br />
In previous years the Mutual Broadcasting System, together with the Columbia<br />
System, have on several occasions given 15-minute spots for a nationwide<br />
broadcast in connection with the meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention,<br />
a Southern Baptist representative making the talk in each case. How-
138 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
ever, because of the pressure of commercial dem<strong>and</strong>s, these two networks do<br />
not offer much promise of similar broadcasts in the future.<br />
Columbia Broadcasting System still follows the policy of rotating all the<br />
leading denominations in its program known as "The Columbia Church of the<br />
Air." In this setup Southern Baptists have been on the Columbia netwdrk<br />
three times during the past Convention year with the following speakers <strong>and</strong><br />
subjects:<br />
August 26, 1945—Dr. C. C. Warren, Pastor First Baptist Church, Charlotte,<br />
N. C.<br />
Subject: "THE RELIGION FOR EVERYBODY."<br />
November 4, 1945—Dr. T. F. Adams, Pastor First Baptist Church,<br />
mond, Virginia.<br />
Subject: "RELIGION FOR THE ATOMIC AGE."<br />
March 3, 1946—Dr. K. Owen White, Pastor Metropolitan Baptist Church,<br />
Washington, D. C.<br />
Subject: "THE ROCK OF AGES."<br />
This policy of the national networks of selling no time for religious broa<br />
casting <strong>and</strong> of granting time only to organizations which represent, in a way, all<br />
the religious groups of the nation, is increasingly becoming the policy of local<br />
stations in dealing with the question of religious broadcasts. This means that<br />
increasingly local stations are not selling any time for religious broadcasts <strong>and</strong><br />
are granting time for religious broadcasts only to general ministers groups<br />
or organizations which represent all the religious interests of the community<br />
<strong>and</strong> no time to individual or denominational groups, except for special events<br />
<strong>and</strong> special broadcasts.<br />
It is the judgment of the Radio Committee that, with the coming of a<br />
large number of new radio stations throughout our territory, it will be much<br />
easier for local denominational groups <strong>and</strong> general denominational groups to<br />
secure time on individual stations <strong>and</strong> regional networks for their programs.<br />
IX. RADIO IN THE SEMINARIES<br />
Convinced that Baptist broadcasting can be increased in the number of<br />
broadcasts as well as in its effectiveness only by presenting a superior program, <<br />
the Radio Committee has consistently advocated the teaching of religious broadcasting<br />
in the three seminaries. The leaders in the three seminaries, consistently<br />
seeking to make the schools of the prophets more effective in meeting the dem<strong>and</strong>s<br />
of the preacher in modern life have made, <strong>and</strong> are making, extensive<br />
study of effective ways of teaching religious broadcasting in the seminaries.<br />
We are happy to report that in two of the seminaries religious broadcasting<br />
was presented in several classes during the seminary year which has just closed.<br />
Undoubtedly within the next year or so all of our seminaries will be offering<br />
effective courses in religious broadcasting, <strong>and</strong> will have equipment by which<br />
the seminary students can engage in the practice of broadcasting as a part of<br />
their seminary preparation.<br />
X. RIDGECREST RADIO CONFERENCE<br />
August 22-28, 1946<br />
It is a fact that as the modern minister who has finished his seminary tra<br />
ing faces his pastoral responsibilities he must deal with the question of religious<br />
broadcasting. To assist pastors in dealing with all phases of the religious<br />
broadcast, a radio conference will be held at Ridgecrest August 22 through 28<br />
of this year. Dr. Holcomb <strong>and</strong> his associates have already booked this conference<br />
<strong>and</strong> following is tentative program for the week:<br />
Thursday, 22nd—8:45 Conference—"Advantages of the Religious Broadcast."<br />
10:00 Southern Religious Radio Conference.<br />
Friday, 23rd—8:45 Conference—"Psychology of the Religious Broadcast."<br />
10:00 Radio Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention.<br />
Saturday, 24th—8:45 Conference—"Preparation of the Religious Broadcast."<br />
10:00 Conference—"FM <strong>and</strong> Religious Broadcasting."
PROCEEDINGS 139<br />
Sunday, 25th—3:00 to 4:00 A. "Radio in the Life of Tomorrow."<br />
B. "Radio in the Christian Program of Tomorrow."<br />
Monday, 26th—8:45 Conference—"Delivering the Religious Message."<br />
10:00 Conference—State Radio Committees.<br />
Tuesday, 27th—8:45 Conference—"The Pastor <strong>and</strong> the Local Station."<br />
10:00 Conference—"Television in the Christian Program of<br />
1950."<br />
Wednesday, 28th—8:45 Conference—"Southern Baptist Agencies Using Radio."<br />
10:00 Conference—"Evangelizing the World via Shortwave."<br />
Speakers for many of these conferences <strong>and</strong> addresses have already been<br />
engaged but since the list is not complete we will not announce any of the<br />
speakers or conference leaders in this report.<br />
It should be said in this connection that the best informed leadership among<br />
Southern Baptists <strong>and</strong> from the radio field will be represented on the program<br />
of the Ridgecrest Radio Conference.<br />
XL MEETING THE NEW CHALLENGES<br />
As set forth in the opening paragraph of this report, with its tremendous<br />
increase in the number of stations, with the new type of station known as FM,<br />
which gives better reception <strong>and</strong> costs far less <strong>and</strong> whose permits can be<br />
granted to individual groups, with television <strong>and</strong> its revolutionizing effect upon<br />
radio, with tremendous progress in shortwave broadcasting which will make this<br />
a practical medium of preaching the gospel to all nations of the earth, radio<br />
offers an unparalleled challenge to Southern Baptists for the immediate future.<br />
Your Radio Committee is seeking to lead Southern Baptists to advance as<br />
rapidly as practical in its use of this mpst effective medium of the propagation<br />
of the gospel. However, your Radio Committee is seeking to take advantage<br />
of every opportunity of study of every phase of radio, <strong>and</strong> to use every precaution<br />
in order not to lead Southern Baptists to make foolish investments of<br />
money in radio <strong>and</strong> also in order not to lead them down a dead-end alley in<br />
religious broadcasting which would prove to be utterly worthless.<br />
Your committee earnestly desires the prayers <strong>and</strong> sympathy <strong>and</strong> counsel of<br />
our people to the end that our service may be effective <strong>and</strong> thus well pleasing<br />
to our Lord <strong>and</strong> Master.<br />

RESOLUTIONS ON THE COMPLETION OF TWENTY-FIVE YEARS<br />
OF SERVICE BY REV. JACOB GARTENHAUS<br />
Inasmuch as in this month of May, 1946, Rev. Jacob Gartenhaus completes<br />
twenty-five years of service for Christ in the interest of Jewish missions, therefore,<br />
be it resolved by the Southern Baptist Convention in session on Friday,<br />
May 17th—<br />
First—That we express gratitude to God for the abundant labors our Jewish<br />
missionary has rendered during these years, both in arousing Christians to their<br />
responsibility to give the gospel to the Jews, <strong>and</strong> in pleading with Jews to accept<br />
Christ.<br />
Second—That we call upon Southern Baptists to rise up in a new loyalty<br />
to this phase of our work, in view of the increasing interest of Jews in the gospel<br />
of our Lord Jesus Christ, <strong>and</strong> the unprecedented opportunity of reaching them<br />
with the message of salvation.<br />
Third—That we call upon God, in His good providence, to grant to Jacob<br />
Gartenhaus strength, vision, <strong>and</strong> length of days for greater labors in the unborn<br />
future in behalf of his people.<br />
n<br />
WHEREAS, this nation has just emerged victorious from the most devastating<br />
war in history under the blessing of Almighty God <strong>and</strong> through the united<br />
efforts of her people, <strong>and</strong><br />
WHEREAS, this unity is now endangered by the efforts of groups that are<br />
endeavoring to breed hate <strong>and</strong> confusion in our midst, <strong>and</strong><br />
WHEREAS, the faith we profess <strong>and</strong> the teachings of the Lord <strong>and</strong> Master<br />
we love <strong>and</strong> serve, expressly forbid hatred one of the other, therefore be it<br />
RESOLVED, that the Southern Baptist Convention assembled at Miami, Fla..<br />
hereby repudiates, <strong>and</strong> urges the members of the churches of the Convention<br />
to refrain from association with, all groups that exist for the purpose of fomenting<br />
strife <strong>and</strong> division within the nation on the basis of differences of race.<br />
religion <strong>and</strong> culture.<br />

Chaplains, presented by L. L. Carpenter, North Carolina, was adopted.<br />
COMMISSION TO CO-OPERATE WITH<br />
RETURNING CHAPLAINS<br />
L. L. CARPENTER, Chairman<br />
CHARLES W. POPE, Secretary<br />
The Commission to Co-operate with Returning Chaplains was created by the<br />
Convention in its annual meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, May 18, 1944. The<br />
membership of the Commission is made up of the twenty state secretaries of the<br />
South <strong>and</strong> Editor L. L. Carpenter, Biblical Recorder, Raleigh, North Carolina,<br />
chairman.<br />
PURPOSE AND FUNCTION<br />
The Commission was established by the Convention in order to assure our<br />
Southern Baptist chaplains in the army <strong>and</strong> navy of our interest <strong>and</strong> support<br />
as they return to civilian work. Under our Baptist polity we insist on the<br />
freedom <strong>and</strong> independence of the local church <strong>and</strong> recognize the guidance of<br />
the Holy Spirit in the calling <strong>and</strong> settling of pastors on fields, but it has been<br />
felt that this Commission could be a human agency through which the Spirit<br />
may work, <strong>and</strong> also through which Southern Baptists may show their interest<br />
in these chaplains <strong>and</strong> render help wherever possible. Southern Baptists have<br />
stood behind their chaplains in their appointment, in their active service, <strong>and</strong><br />
they will st<strong>and</strong> behind them as they return to civilian life.<br />
NUMBER OF CHAPLAINS<br />
The total number of Southern Baptist chaplains in the service during the<br />
war was 1,254; but the highest number in service at any one time was 1,130.<br />
Our latest figures as of March 1, 1946, showed that 523 chaplains in the army<br />
had been separated from the service <strong>and</strong> 75 in the navy, or a total of 598. At<br />
that same date, March 1, there were 465 chaplains on duty in the army <strong>and</strong> 126<br />
in the navy, or a total of 591. It is expected that the number will be reduced<br />
to approximately 325 by July 1. Later figures, dated April 15, show 398 on duty<br />
in the army <strong>and</strong> 113 in navy, or a total of 511. This shows 619 separated<br />
from the service.<br />
MEETINGS HELD<br />
Our Commission has held three meetings during the past twelve months;<br />
Nashville, Tennessee, June 13, 1945, <strong>and</strong> September 19, 1945; New Orleans,<br />
Louisiana, February 5, 1946; the last one at New Orleans being a part of the<br />
annual meeting of the state secretaries. At these meetings various phases of<br />
our work have been discussed with the main emphasis being placed on each<br />
state secretary working with <strong>and</strong> for the chaplains in his own particular state.<br />
In addition to the meetings of the Commission, the chairman has discussed the<br />
return of the chaplains before the Executive Committee of the Convention <strong>and</strong><br />
the annual meeting of the Baptist editors of the South.<br />
CO-OPERATION WITH SUPERINTENDENT OF CAMP WORK<br />
Dr. Alfred Carpenter, Superintendent of Camp Work of the Home Mission<br />
Board, has kept in close touch with us, <strong>and</strong> his counsel <strong>and</strong> help have been of<br />
incalculable value. At the request of the Commission, he has been sending to<br />
all of our members <strong>and</strong> to the editors of the state papers monthly reports<br />
giving detailed information about each chaplain at the time of his separation<br />
from the service.
144 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
CO-OPERATION IN THE VARIOUS STATES<br />
The state secretary in each case has led in the work in his own state. Te<br />
state conventions have had committees appointed to assist the secretary. Also,<br />
seven states have been providing financial assistance to returning chaplains<br />
whenever needed in the interim between their return from the service <strong>and</strong> their<br />
location in permanent work. In some cases the chaplains have been put to work<br />
at once doing general missionary work <strong>and</strong> supply-preaching under the direction<br />
of the state board.<br />
PUBLICITY AND CONTACTS<br />
The Commission has been keeping in touch with chaplains through letters<br />
<strong>and</strong> every other means available. Information about these returning chaplains<br />
has been published in the state papers. The editors are glad to help in every<br />
way possible to let the churches know when chaplains are available for pastorates.<br />
Also, through letters <strong>and</strong> other means chaplains have been given helpful<br />
contacts with churches <strong>and</strong> various denominational positions. The reports from<br />
the states show that in most cases the returning chaplains have been happily<br />
located, <strong>and</strong> it has been felt that there will be no great difficulty in this work<br />
during the coming year.<br />
INTEREST AND SUPPORT ASSURED<br />
As Southern Baptists we are proud of our chaplains. A large percentage<br />
of these men have been in the service two or three years at least, <strong>and</strong> it has<br />
been no easy, romantic adventure for most of them, either. It has been a hard,<br />
heroic task, <strong>and</strong> one very much needed. These chaplains have accompanied the<br />
men wherever they have gone <strong>and</strong> have given to them help, encouragement, <strong>and</strong><br />
spiritual ministry in a thous<strong>and</strong> different ways. As they are returning to<br />
civilian work, they are proving a great asset to our Southern Baptist work.<br />
They have received a training <strong>and</strong> acquired an experience which will help to<br />
put new life into our work. They have learned to mix <strong>and</strong> mingle with all<br />
classes of people, both at home <strong>and</strong> abroad, <strong>and</strong> have a better underst<strong>and</strong>ing<br />
of the needs for world-wide missions. They ought to be of help to our denomination<br />
in making a wider <strong>and</strong> more vital application of the Gospel, in serving<br />
<strong>and</strong> enlisting returning servicemen, <strong>and</strong> in giving to our people a new challenge<br />
for world-wide missions. And so, we thank God for our chaplains, <strong>and</strong> we<br />
welcome them back heartily to our homes, to our churches, <strong>and</strong> to the challenging<br />
tasks which we face in the post-war" world.<br />
RECOMMENDATIONS<br />
1. That our state papers continue to give publicity to returning chaplains<br />
so that churches <strong>and</strong> boards may know of their availability for civilian positions.<br />
2. That churches, boards, hospitals, etc., give careful <strong>and</strong> prayerful consideration<br />
to returning chaplains as possibilities for pastorates <strong>and</strong> other positions<br />
in their organizations.<br />
3. That special thanks be extended Dr. Alfred Carpenter, Superintendent<br />
of Camp Work of the Home Mission Board, for his assistance <strong>and</strong> help <strong>and</strong><br />
that he be requested to continue such service.<br />
4. Although we believe the major portion of our work has been accomplished<br />
yet we recommend that the Commission be continued one more year in order<br />
to finish the work <strong>and</strong> take care of any needs which may arise.<br />

On the head of John Thompson Henderson were placed many crowns- that<br />
of the college graduate, the college professor, the college president in two States<br />
the Convention president in Tennessee <strong>and</strong> Virginia, vice-president of the<br />
Southern Baptist Convention for two terms, secretary of the laymen's work<br />
for three decades; <strong>and</strong> now that the years, "that silent army that never loses<br />
a battle," has won a victory, as of January 7, 1946, the crown of righteousness<br />
that fadeth not away. Such things do not just happen; there is a sound<br />
philosophy behind them; <strong>and</strong> it was true of him, as the poet phrased it:<br />
The elements<br />
So mixed in him, that nature might st<strong>and</strong> up<br />
And say to all the world, "This was a man."<br />
His passing will recall to many the nobility of his character <strong>and</strong> the largeness<br />
of his service to his generation. Nature broke her alabaster box over his<br />
birth, <strong>and</strong> endowed him with choice portions-of her wealth. In his personality<br />
qualities were admirably blended <strong>and</strong> balanced: the strong with the tender, the
PROCEEDINGS 147<br />
gentle with the firm, the self-respecting with the humble, <strong>and</strong> the prudent with<br />
the progressive.<br />
Having the comrade spirit, he loved his fellowmen in general; but in particular<br />
he was devoted to his friends, <strong>and</strong> delighted in their society. Towards<br />
them he was warm in his attachments, gracous in his attitudes, generous in his<br />
appraisals, <strong>and</strong> ready with his service. He freely gave <strong>and</strong> so freely received<br />
that neither time nor distance withered or staled his friendships, which, not<br />
being of the opportunist type, remained unimpaired when all local or incidental<br />
reasons for them were dissolved. In Bristol, where he lived eleven years, his<br />
memory is fragrant in many hearts today.<br />
Modesty, or humility,<br />
that low, sweet root<br />
From which all heavenly virtues shoot,<br />
clothed him as a garment. He did not think more highly of himself than he<br />
ought to think. He could say with the Psalmist, "Lord, my heart is not haughty,<br />
nor mine eyes lofty." "He blew no trumpet in the market-place," but left it<br />
to others to sound what praises they thought he deserved. He was magnanimous<br />
in spirit. He did not return evil for evil. When others threw brickbats,<br />
he did not retaliate in kind. He overcame evil with good by heaping coals of<br />
fire upon his enemy's head.<br />
He was a model in his Christian life <strong>and</strong> service. If I were required to<br />
say who, among those I have known, came nearest to my ideal of a Christian<br />
layman, I would pass the palm to J. T. Henderson. He certified his faith by<br />
his works. He was not one of those who seem to think that because of official<br />
position they are absolved from the duties of ordinary church life, but so walked<br />
as to make himself an example. He loved the habitation of God's house. In<br />
his heart were the highways of Zion, <strong>and</strong> his feet were in the paths that led<br />
where God's honor dwelleth. He was glad to go unto the house of God, <strong>and</strong><br />
share the fellowship of the saints in worship.<br />
Oh, sweeter than the marriage-feast,<br />
'Tis sweeter far to me,<br />
To walk together to the kirk<br />
With a goodly company.<br />
To walk together to the kirk,<br />
And all together to pray,<br />
While each to the great Father bends,<br />
Old men, <strong>and</strong> babes, <strong>and</strong> loving friends,<br />
And youths <strong>and</strong> maidens.<br />
His attitude towards the pastor was exemplary to the last degree. He knew<br />
the pastor's place <strong>and</strong> rights in the economy of church life, <strong>and</strong> respected him<br />
as God's <strong>and</strong> the church's chosen leader. His policy was to do God's prophets<br />
not harm; but to count them worthy of double honor, <strong>and</strong> to esteem them highly<br />
in love for their work's sake. No pastor ever had a truer friend or a better<br />
member than J. T. Henderson was. He was ready for every practical service<br />
which his church membership dem<strong>and</strong>ed:<br />
Loathing pretense, he did with cheerful will<br />
What others talked of while their h<strong>and</strong>s were still.<br />
He honored the Lord liberally with the first fruits of his increase. He<br />
adopted what he believed to be the Scriptural st<strong>and</strong>ard of giving, <strong>and</strong> loyally<br />
lived out his conviction. He brought his tithe into the storehouse of God. Was<br />
he present? His envelope went into the plate. Was he absent? He mailed his<br />
contribution in time for it to arrive at the church on Sunday; <strong>and</strong> what he<br />
practiced he unceasingly urged upon others wherever his voice was raised.<br />
In every notable career one feature st<strong>and</strong>s out above all others, as a mountain<br />
pine above the.shrubs of the foothills, <strong>and</strong> the interest for which J. T.<br />
Henderson is best known <strong>and</strong> will be longest remembered in his work among<br />
the laymen. He saw in our Baptist men a potentiality that might become a<br />
reality, resources that might become realizations, possibilities that might become<br />
actualities, passive forces which, if mobilized, would become active powers in<br />
the tasks of the kingdom; <strong>and</strong> he saw in the Laymen's Missionary Movement,
148 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
now the Baptist Brotherhood, a possible key with which to release the unused<br />
energies of Christian men, a means of correlating the needs with the supplies.<br />
Every notable movement passes through three stages: birth, battle, <strong>and</strong><br />
acceptance, <strong>and</strong> his experience included the three periods. Called to the leadership<br />
at the beginning, he laid his h<strong>and</strong> to the plow. He was a pioneer appointed<br />
to penetrate <strong>and</strong> to cultivate new spiritual frontiers, to bring into captivity to<br />
Christ the Baptist man-power of the South; <strong>and</strong>, though for years he was almost<br />
a voice crying alone in the wilderness, right valiantly he entered upon hia<br />
assignment. From Missouri to Florida, from Maryl<strong>and</strong> to Texas, he traversed<br />
the territory of the Southern Baptist Convention in pursuit of his vision. In<br />
season <strong>and</strong> out, in fields <strong>and</strong> churches, large or small, by line upon line <strong>and</strong><br />
precept upon precept, both oral <strong>and</strong> written, he summoned his fellow laymen<br />
to a Scriptural level of life <strong>and</strong> service.<br />
He brought the movement into organized relationship to the denomination,<br />
into a position of high respectability <strong>and</strong> usefulness; but his greatest service<br />
to the cause was in atmosphere created, plans formulated, <strong>and</strong> foundations laid<br />
in which, by which, <strong>and</strong> on which may yet be built a structure comm<strong>and</strong>ing in<br />
its nature <strong>and</strong> vastly fruitful in its results.<br />
If some star were quenched on high,<br />
For ages would its light,<br />
Still descending from the sky,<br />
Fall on our mortal sight.<br />
So when a good man dies,<br />
For years beyond our ken,<br />
The light he leaves behind him<br />
Falls across the paths of men.<br />
The ideals he cherished, the spirit he manifested, <strong>and</strong> the record that h<br />
constitute his invisible monument.<br />
In Bristol, Virginia, where Dr. Henderson was for eleven years President<br />
of Intermont College, a movement has been started to purchase <strong>and</strong> place in<br />
the tower of the college building as a memorial to him a set of carillonic bells<br />
with a range that will reach 35,000 people with the music <strong>and</strong> the Westminster<br />
chimes that mark the passing hours. If the project materializes, it will be not<br />
only a fitting memorial, but also a symbol of the continuing influence of John<br />
Thompson Henderson.<br />

KATHLEEN MALLORY<br />
Thirteen years ago today she was elected in our nation's capital to be<br />
president of our Woman's Missionary Union. This week last year she answered<br />
the call of the Master of Missions to render an account of her leadership in the<br />
promotion of His world-wide Kingdom. Even a most casual account of her<br />
accomplishments would show that her mind was trained <strong>and</strong> retentive, that her<br />
heart was loving <strong>and</strong> responsive, that the scope of her vision included her home<br />
<strong>and</strong> all beyond, that her zeal for any worthy cause sprung from study or was<br />
intensified by it, that her knowledge of the Word of God was accurate <strong>and</strong> was<br />
constantly being increased, that her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ was like a<br />
child's in simplicity <strong>and</strong> like a pioneer's in the urge to Woman's Missionary<br />
Union to share the Savior with the lost of every l<strong>and</strong>, beginning at home.<br />
These noble <strong>and</strong> ennobling characteristics were all the more attractive in<br />
Mrs. Armstrong because they were the very warp <strong>and</strong> woof of her life. As<br />
the daughter of a pioneer Baptist minister of northwest Missouri <strong>and</strong> as the<br />
wife of an esteemed Baptist lawyer, she learned <strong>and</strong> applied the discipline <strong>and</strong><br />
opportunity of Christian womanhood, fearlessly <strong>and</strong> efficiently meeting ever<br />
widening responsibilities. If this tribute were being paid by her family it<br />
would tell of her devoton to her parents, to her husb<strong>and</strong> during the nearly<br />
thirty-eight years of married comradeship, to her brothers <strong>and</strong> their children;
PROCEEDINGS 149<br />
any such tribute would glow with the light of her interest not only in them but<br />
in their <strong>and</strong> her neighbors, their communities <strong>and</strong> hers, their churches <strong>and</strong><br />
hers. If this tribute were being paid by her state it would recount with justifiable<br />
pride that she was a capable teacher in her county before marriage, that<br />
she belonged worthily to benevolent <strong>and</strong> patriotic organizations, that in addition<br />
to her intelligent leadership among the women <strong>and</strong> young people in her own<br />
church she was gratefully recognized as a promoter of W.M.U. work in her<br />
association. The unfolding story would stirringly tell how she became the<br />
state college correspondent in the promotion of College Young Woman's Auxiliaries,<br />
then president of the state Woman's Missionary Union, a member of the-<br />
Executive Board of the Missouri Baptist Convention <strong>and</strong> then a member of<br />
the Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention.<br />
For at least twenty-two of those eventful years I knew Mrs. Armstrong <strong>and</strong><br />
increasingly I marveled at her ability, her devotion to an accepted responsibility,<br />
her loyalty to the denomination, her vision of the possibilities of God's<br />
use of Woman's Missionary Union, her consecration to Christ as her personal<br />
Savior. Always shall I want to remember that the first • <strong>and</strong> the last times<br />
that I saw her she was definitely active: in 1923 at the annual meeting of<br />
Woman's Missionary Union she was the attractive advocate for increased interest<br />
in College Y.W.A.'s; at the April 1945 meeting of the W.M.U. Executive Committee<br />
she was the promoter of W.M.U. personalized interest in behalf of<br />
suffering Baptists in Italy. All in between these vivid memory-pictures of our<br />
great leader I can also see her in conferences whose countless details were<br />
stimuli to more intense thinking by her; I can see her in state <strong>and</strong> southwide<br />
<strong>and</strong> international meetings where she spoke or presided with edification to the<br />
many; I can see her in the building project of the W.M.U. Training School<br />
when many of us could not see the victory until it was actually achieved; I can<br />
see her in the h<strong>and</strong>ling of other projects <strong>and</strong> problems that were decidedly<br />
simplified because of her legal mind; I can see her in her regular <strong>and</strong> occasional<br />
writing of articles for W.M.U. <strong>and</strong> other Baptist publications; I can see her in<br />
her welcome to Baptist visitors from other l<strong>and</strong>s; I can see her in her sympathetic<br />
reactions when on tours to mission fields <strong>and</strong> in her consistent concern<br />
for the promotion of the Baptist World Alliance. Truly, the closer one got to<br />
Mrs. Armstrong the more one marveled at her many interests, each vital to<br />
her, each kept in its own setting <strong>and</strong> yet correlated with her evident purpose<br />
to serve as much <strong>and</strong> as widely as possible the missionary program of the Christ.<br />
From 1927-1945 she had a privilege such as no other woman for so many<br />
years has had, in that for those eighteen consecutive years she was a member<br />
of the very responsible Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention.<br />
The fact that this session of the Convention is memorializing her, a tribute<br />
unique in Southern Baptist history, is gratefully considered a proof of the<br />
Convention's <strong>and</strong> its committee's recognition of her long <strong>and</strong> worthy service.<br />
Any historian of the Convention's committee will surely reveal that she recognized<br />
the fact that her membership on that committee was not due to the fact<br />
that for the first <strong>six</strong> years she was president of the Missouri Woman's Missionary<br />
Union <strong>and</strong> for the last twelve years the president of the southwide Woman's<br />
Missionary Union but that she had a personal responsibility even as every other<br />
member had. However, I dare to affirm that during all of those years Mrs.<br />
Armstrong never lost sight of her opportunity thus to learn more about the<br />
program of Southern Baptists so that she might promote it more faithfully not<br />
only as a member of its highest ranking committee but also as the leader of<br />
W.M.U. forces in her state <strong>and</strong> then of the Southl<strong>and</strong>. Also I believe that she<br />
must have steadily remembered while serving on that committee even as I know<br />
she convincingly reminded our Union that its relationship is definitely that of<br />
an auxiliary to the Convention, even as the following quotation from her first<br />
presidential address to the Union attests:<br />
"Whatever may be the Christian activities of its members in varied fields,<br />
Woman's Missionary Union in all of its plans <strong>and</strong> program has sought to guard<br />
its primary purpose to be an auxiliary to the Southern Baptist Convention.<br />
Now <strong>and</strong> then there may have been misunderst<strong>and</strong>ings or even criticism that<br />
the Union has refused to express itself on certain issues seemingly vitally Christian<br />
or to engage in the promotion of activities undeniably Christian but entirely<br />
outside the Union's distinct field. It has deemed it far better to bear misunderst<strong>and</strong>ing<br />
<strong>and</strong> criticism than to deviate from its one purpose, the promotion
150 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
of missions—promotion of the mission interests of the Southern Baptist Convention<br />
of which it is an integral part."<br />
Even so did Mrs. Armstrong realize that Woman's Missionary Union could<br />
<strong>and</strong> should serve largely through the Baptist World Alliance. Here again she<br />
had the exceptional opportunity of knowing its immediate <strong>and</strong> far-reaching<br />
plans <strong>and</strong> purposes. During the twelve years (1933-45) that she was a member<br />
at large of its committee she attended the Alliance meeting in Berlin where<br />
she presided over the Woman's Session <strong>and</strong> in Atlanta where she spoke with<br />
marked ability at the Woman's Session. Yet another proof of her eagerness<br />
to serve through this world-wide Baptist agency was the fact that she took the<br />
long journey from her Missouri home to Washington for a committee meeting<br />
connected with the Alliance though she was physically far from well <strong>and</strong> though<br />
it was less than a month before her earthly pilgrimage was to end.<br />
Another journey which Mrs. Armstrong rejoiced to take was to an annual<br />
meeting of Cuban Baptists in Havana, her reports of that experience having<br />
been as glowing as w er e her testimonies concerning the work in Europe. Accordingly<br />
you will rejoice to know that our Union's memorial to Mrs. Armstrong<br />
will take the tangible form of a gift of $25,000 for specified work in Cuba <strong>and</strong><br />
$50,000 for some phase or phases of Southern Baptist work in Europe.<br />
Though Judge <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Armstrong were not granted children of their own,<br />
yet it can truly be said that their married life was a blessing to the youth of<br />
the world. This can be gratefully proved by citing merely two channels for<br />
such blessings: W.M.U. young people's work <strong>and</strong> the W.M.U. Training School.<br />
As already noted, Mrs. Armstrong early manifested ability <strong>and</strong> willingness to<br />
promote the College Y.W.A. work in her state. To this "first love" she readily<br />
added finely informed interest in each phase of the Union's missionary education<br />
of its young people. In the promotion of such she attended many conferences<br />
<strong>and</strong> camps, wrote many articles for their missionary magazines, tactfully<br />
guarded against immature or otherwise harmful policies by the Union or the<br />
denomination in general with reference to the missionary education of its youth<br />
<strong>and</strong> by practice as well as precept she promoted such work in her own church.<br />
Closely linked with all such intelligent zeal was Mrs. Armstrong's really passionate<br />
devotion to the W.M.U. Training School in Louisville, Ky. In it she<br />
clearly saw the Union's best opportunity not only to train future leaders for<br />
appointed service under state, home <strong>and</strong> foreign mission boards but also to<br />
impress indelibly on each student the value of every W.M.U. organization, from<br />
the largest to the smallest, <strong>and</strong> the responsibility of all such students for fostering<br />
such work in obedience to the Great Commission.<br />
The following quotation from Mrs. Armstrong's address at our meeting in<br />
1940 emphasizes her conviction <strong>and</strong> consecration for the missionary education<br />
of our young people:<br />
"Are we so teaching missions that the minds <strong>and</strong> hearts of our children will<br />
ever be alert to the call of world needs? Are we assuming our rightful responsibility<br />
for the children <strong>and</strong> young people of our churches, stimulating in their<br />
young hearts the spirit <strong>and</strong> grace of giving? Are we satisfying ourselves with<br />
less than the best for these young people in missionary organizations? If we<br />
rear a world-visioned generation of youth it will be because we as mothers, as<br />
teachers, as counselors train them to be such. If we fail it is just as surely<br />
because we failed in this truest <strong>and</strong> highest function of womanhood. Rigid selfexamination<br />
will lead us to take our rightful -responsibilities more worthily."<br />
In conclusion I feel that you <strong>and</strong> Judge Armstrong <strong>and</strong> Woman's Missionary<br />
Union would want me to quote from King Lemuel's immortal tribute to a<br />
worthy woman, for surely we unitedly know that Mrs. Armstrong lived <strong>and</strong> led<br />
most worthily: "A worthy woman? Her price is far above rubies. The heart<br />
of her husb<strong>and</strong> trusteth in her; she doeth him good. She worketh willingly<br />
with her h<strong>and</strong>s. Her lamp goeth not out by night. She stretcheth out her h<strong>and</strong><br />
to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her h<strong>and</strong>s to the needy. Strength <strong>and</strong><br />
dignity are her clothing. She openeth her mouth with wisdom <strong>and</strong> the law of<br />
kindness is on her tongue. Give her of the fruit of her h<strong>and</strong>s <strong>and</strong> let her<br />
works praise her in the gates."

BAPTIST BROTHERHOOD OF THE SOUTH<br />
THIRTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT<br />
HISTORICAL<br />
In 1907 a group of laymen met in Richmond, Virginia, for the purpose of<br />
discussing a movement among the men of our churches which would parallel<br />
the Woman's. Missionary Society. A resolution was adopted petitioning the<br />
Southern Baptist Convention to authorize such a movement <strong>and</strong> to incorporate<br />
it in our general .denominational program.<br />
During the sessions of the Southern Baptist Convention the petition from<br />
the laymen's conference was received, acted favorably upon, <strong>and</strong> the movement<br />
was launched under the title, Laymen's Missionary Movement. As that<br />
title implied, the purpose of the movement was to deepen the interest on the<br />
part of the men of our churches in our great missionary enterprise.<br />
The Laymen's Missionary Movement continued until 1926 when, again by the<br />
action of the Southern Baptist Convention, the title was changed from Laymen's<br />
Missionary Movement to the Baptist Brotherhood of the South.<br />
There were two reasons for the change of title:<br />
First, it was thought that men would be more easily interested <strong>and</strong> enlisted<br />
if the scope of the movement was broadened to include the entire denominational<br />
program rather than having it restricted to one phase of that program,<br />
namely, missions.<br />
The second reason for changing the title was psychological. The original<br />
title, Laymen's Missionary Movement, by implication at least, seemed to exclude<br />
the pastor, whereas the term "Brotherhood" would include both pastor<br />
<strong>and</strong> laymen, which is as it should be, indeed as it must be, for no pastor can hope<br />
to realize the maximum possibility of his ministry aside from the cooperation<br />
of his laymen, <strong>and</strong> likewise no layman will ever render his best Christian<br />
service aside from the cooperation <strong>and</strong> counsel of his pastor.<br />
This bit of denominational history reminds us of the fact that the Brotherhood<br />
Movement is an integral part of the Southern Baptist Convention. It is
152 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
not something new. It is not an intruder trespassing upon the traditions of<br />
Southern Baptists. It is an authorized, a recognized <strong>and</strong> financed feature of<br />
our general denominational program. This being true, a church is not complete<br />
in its denominational structure without a Brotherhood. Without a<br />
Brotherhood it is as incomplete denominationally as it would be if it did not<br />
have a Sunday school or a Training Union.<br />
A YEAR OF UNCERTAINTIES<br />
There have been few years in the history of this nation, indeed of the<br />
world, more uncertain <strong>and</strong> chaotic than 1945. Every area of our national<br />
life—political, social, domestic, economic, religious—has been shot through<br />
with uncertainty <strong>and</strong> confusion. New <strong>and</strong> foreign ideologies are competing<br />
with our national traditions <strong>and</strong> established systems, <strong>and</strong> seem to be making<br />
some decided impression upon our national thought.<br />
The businessman is perhaps the chief victim of this confused condition, not<br />
knowing from day to day what the next step will be, or how he will be affected<br />
by it. It was inevitable that this condition would affect his religious ideas,<br />
<strong>and</strong> make it more difficult for him to render his maximum service to his church<br />
<strong>and</strong> denomination.<br />
Notwithst<strong>and</strong>ing all this, the Brotherhood Movement has rolled along with<br />
increasing momentum <strong>and</strong> effectiveness. Perhaps more new Brotherhoods were<br />
organized during 1945 than during any single year of the last decade.<br />
The Brotherhood Movement is more soundly established within our state<br />
conventions than ever before. Ten states are now fully organized for Brotherhood<br />
work, <strong>and</strong> the conventions of four other states have authorized the establishment<br />
of a Brotherhood department <strong>and</strong> the employing of a full-time<br />
Brotherhood secretary. Thus, more than one-half of the states now have fulltime<br />
Brotherhood departments, <strong>and</strong> we confidently expect it to be conventionwide<br />
in the near future.<br />
INTENSIFIED ACTIVITIES<br />
The men of our Brotherhoods did not explore new territory during 1945 but<br />
intensified their efforts in the previous year's fields of activities—evangelism,<br />
church attendance, stewardship, increased circulation of state papers, <strong>and</strong><br />
general denominational enlistment.<br />
The Brotherhood has never been particularly concerned with statistics, <strong>and</strong><br />
rarely fixes a statistical objective. Therefore, this report will contain very<br />
few statistical accomplishments of the Brotherhood as such. We accept the<br />
goals of other agencies as a whole, <strong>and</strong> throw the full strength of our organization<br />
into the fulfillment of those objectives. The work of the Brotherhood is one<br />
of cooperation <strong>and</strong> largely supplemental.<br />
The main consideration after all is one of direction rather than of speed. It<br />
is a question of whether the tide is rolling in or going out.<br />
Evangelism<br />
The Brotherhood of the South cooperated with the Centennial Crusade Committee<br />
in personal soul-winning last year. Many services were held by laymen<br />
in homes, schoolhouses, <strong>and</strong> out in the open country. Many men were won to<br />
Christ through these special efforts. Laymen also gave their complete cooperation<br />
in evangelistic services conducted by their pastors, <strong>and</strong> thus supplemented<br />
their ministry in a splendid <strong>and</strong> effective way.<br />
While 1945 witnessed a specific <strong>and</strong> intensified evangelistic effort throughout<br />
the entire convention, the Brotherhood has always believed that evangelism<br />
is to be perennial <strong>and</strong> not periodic. Therefore our efforts in this field will continue,<br />
<strong>and</strong> with increasing zeal, throughout 1945 <strong>and</strong> beyond.<br />
Church Attendance<br />
The Brotherhood is increasingly concerned regarding the laxity in church<br />
attendance on the part of the men of our churches. Certainly a majority of<br />
them do not attend the regular services. This concern causes us to continuously<br />
place a major emphasis at this point. We believe that church attendance is<br />
absolutely essential to maximum Christian service. While it is undoubtedly<br />
true that a man can be a Christian yet not go to church, it is equally true that
PROCEEDINGS 153<br />
he will never render his highest Christian service aside from the influence of the<br />
congregational worship <strong>and</strong> systematic Bible study <strong>and</strong> training provided by<br />
the services of our churches.<br />
Stewardship<br />
The men of our churches have always contributed the major portion of our<br />
denominational financing. No one would be able to successfully argue otherwise.<br />
Notwithst<strong>and</strong>ing this, we have never measured up to a practice of maxi- -<br />
mum stewardship. With this in mind the Brotherhood has worked strenuously<br />
toward the end that we may have a proper conception of God's expectations,<br />
<strong>and</strong> of the privilege of contributing liberally to the support of his cause on this<br />
earth.<br />
We believe unalterably in the Cooperative Program as the basic plan for<br />
financing all of our church <strong>and</strong> denominational work. Indeed, it is the only<br />
all-inclusive plan of financing that Southern Baptists have. It is impossible to<br />
support the entire denominational program outside the Cooperative Program.<br />
We are, therefore, pledged to the promotion of this plan, <strong>and</strong> will continue our<br />
efforts without the slightest abatement.<br />
Circulation of State Papers<br />
Throughout the Southern Baptist Convention the Brotherhood has been<br />
saying that you cannot enlist an uninformed man. This statement is almost<br />
too trite to repeat. Obviously, a man cannot be completely enlisted in the<br />
support of an enterprise with which he is not acquainted.<br />
Our state papers are our chief denominational media through which the<br />
full denominational program can be transmitted. Other periodicals, excellent<br />
in their field, deal principally with one or several phases of our program, but<br />
through our state papers we become acquainted with everything that Southern<br />
Baptists are doing <strong>and</strong> plan to do—within the state, the homel<strong>and</strong>, <strong>and</strong> around<br />
the world.<br />
The circulation of our state papers is now above the half-million mark.<br />
The Brotherhood will continue to emphasize the importance of the state<br />
paper until it finds its place upon the reading table in every home represented<br />
by Southern Baptists. We pledge ourselves unreservedly to this task.<br />
General Denominational Enlistment<br />
Summarizing all that has gone before: The Brotherhood is concerned that<br />
every man in every church becomes interested <strong>and</strong> enlisted in every phase of<br />
his church <strong>and</strong> denominational program.<br />
To this end the Baptist Brotherhood of the South, in cooperation with the<br />
Brotherhood departments in the states, will work with ever-increasing zeal<br />
<strong>and</strong> Christian determination.<br />
We will not turn back from the task represented by our slogan, "A Million<br />
Men For Christ," until we realize the, complete consummation of that enormous<br />
assignment given us by our Lord, Jesus Christ, <strong>and</strong> which we confidently expect<br />
will be accomplished in his own good time.<br />

APPRECIATION OF<br />
cJjr. J^riakt C fffoore <strong>and</strong> FHr. A. ^rrenru l/Durnett<br />
SECRETARIES OF THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
In behalf of the more than five million Southern Baptists <strong>and</strong> in accord with<br />
the action of the Southern Baptist Convention in session in Miami, Florida, May<br />
18, 1946, we wish to pay a tribute of appreciation to our beloved secretaries—<br />
Dr. Hight C Moore <strong>and</strong> Mr. J. Henry Burnett.<br />
Dr. Moore, then editor of the Biblical Recorder, of North Carolina, was elected<br />
junior (assistant) secretary at the beginning of the 1914 session, meeting in<br />
Nashville. He continued in this capacity, assisting the senior secretary, Dr.<br />
0. F. Gregory, until 1919, at which time, in Atlanta, he was elected secretary,<br />
serving thus until the close of the recent session when in keeping with his<br />
previously announced request he was not nominated for re-election. Since his<br />
first election as assistant secretary he has recorded the minutes <strong>and</strong> prepared<br />
the annual for each session.<br />
Due to the change in the plan of electing officers, from the first of the session<br />
to a later time in the session to serve for the year following, <strong>and</strong> due to the<br />
canceling of two sessions during World War II, Dr. Moore has served as secretary<br />
for thirty-two years, recorded the minutes of thirty-one sessions, <strong>and</strong><br />
prepared the annual for thirty-three years.<br />
The service rendered by Dr. Moore to the Southern Baptist Convention has<br />
been monumental. The accurate <strong>and</strong> painstaking recording of the proceedings<br />
of the Convention is in itself a matter of highest significance. Much time <strong>and</strong><br />
toil have been given to the compiling <strong>and</strong> editing of statistical material which<br />
has been made available to the denomination in the annual volumes. Thous<strong>and</strong>s<br />
of letters have been written supplying information to pastors <strong>and</strong> denominational<br />
leaders <strong>and</strong> to interested persons of other denominations interpreting the life<br />
<strong>and</strong> program of the Convention. Many, many times with gracious letters of<br />
commendation <strong>and</strong> comfort he has conveyed the greetings <strong>and</strong> appreciation of the<br />
Convention to honored servants of our constituency. As secretary he has served<br />
as chairman of the committee on arrangements <strong>and</strong> has helped to secure adequate<br />
<strong>and</strong> suitable facilities for the annual sessions. He has acted officially for<br />
the Convention in legal matters <strong>and</strong> has represented the Convention in contacts<br />
with persons outside our fellowship. Through all these years he has given<br />
assistance to the presiding officers of the Convention, the chairmen of its committees,<br />
<strong>and</strong> the executives of its boards <strong>and</strong> agencies. Because of his office<br />
he has been a member of the Executive Committee since its creation <strong>and</strong> through<br />
his counsel <strong>and</strong> co-operation has made an invaluable contribution to its work.<br />
Through his devotion to the work of the Convention <strong>and</strong> his loyalty to Baptist<br />
principles he has cultivated unity among Southern Baptists <strong>and</strong> good will, respect,<br />
<strong>and</strong> underst<strong>and</strong>ing for our denomination.<br />
The qualities with which Dr. Moore has performed this service are inspiring.<br />
Efficient in all matters of detail <strong>and</strong> duty; democratic in spirit <strong>and</strong> gracious<br />
in all dealings with the brethren; prompt ajid tireless in attendance upon all<br />
sessions of the Convention; utterly unselfish with reference to his own interests<br />
<strong>and</strong> untiring in efforts to serve others; humble in a position of prominence <strong>and</strong><br />
responsibility <strong>and</strong> concerned to show honor <strong>and</strong> preferment to others; far-seeing
158 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
with reference to the mission of Southern Baptists <strong>and</strong> confident through faith<br />
in the leadership of the Lord; loyal to the principles for which Baptists st<strong>and</strong> but<br />
cordial toward Christians of other groups—Dr. Moore has magnified his office<br />
with devotion.<br />
For thirty-two years Dr. Moore has served the Southern Baptist Convention.<br />
Through his labor of love, the consecration of his skill, the fidelity of his life,<br />
the vision of his faith, <strong>and</strong> the demonstration of beautiful Christian humility,<br />
he merits the esteem <strong>and</strong> appreciation accorded him in the grateful hearts of<br />
Southern Baptists. With unassuming dignity he has towered in personality with<br />
the distinguished presidents of two <strong>and</strong> a half decades, names to remain foremost<br />
in the history of Baptists. He has recorded the action of the Southern Baptists<br />
Convention—volumes of glorious history. He has written with his life a record<br />
in heaven that endureth forever. Through it all he has inspired a generation by<br />
being an epistle of Christ, a good servant of the Lord Jesus.<br />
Mr. J. Henry Burnett, successful <strong>and</strong> devoted Christian business man, was<br />
elected assistant secretary of the Convention in the historic session in Atlanta<br />
in 1919. His service in this capacity has been unbroken since that time. Thus<br />
he has filled this important post for twenty-seven years.<br />
Taking his place at the side of Dr. Moore, Mr. Burnett has given invaluable<br />
assistance to the secretary <strong>and</strong> highly significant service to the Convention.<br />
Through these years he has had charge of the registration of messengers. For<br />
years he served with the secretary on the committee on arrangements. At the<br />
request of the secretary he read the Convention journal <strong>and</strong> made the announcements<br />
before the body. He kept the lists of committees <strong>and</strong> discharged every<br />
possible duty to relieve the secretary during the annual sessions.<br />
This noble Christian layman has been a worthy associate of the secretary in<br />
serving the Southern Baptist Convention. With the same beautiful humility,<br />
diligent attention to duty, fraternity of spirit, consideration for messengers,<br />
cordiality toward the servants of the denomination, concern for our organized<br />
missionary <strong>and</strong> benevolent work, <strong>and</strong> fidelity to the position of Baptists, as that<br />
of the secretary, Mr. Burnett has been a fellow helper to the truth through<br />
his unselfish service as the assistant secretary. By personal example he has<br />
demonstrated the insight <strong>and</strong> faithfulness that ought to mark the Christian laymen<br />
in our midst. In his constant travels as a business man he has borne a fearless<br />
testimony for Christ, <strong>and</strong> through his loyalty to our denomination he has<br />
spread respect <strong>and</strong> good will for Southern Baptists.<br />
Mr. Burnett, like the secretary, asked that he not be considered for re-election,<br />
<strong>and</strong> so has concluded his service in - the secretarial capacity. Southern Baptists<br />
owe to him a debt of love. In his life we have seen again the truth:<br />
"Whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all."<br />
And so to our secretaries for many years, we express our gratitude, our<br />
appreciation, our esteem, our love, <strong>and</strong> the assurance of our prayers that the<br />
years ahead may bring "widening reach <strong>and</strong> heightened power" as they keep on<br />
serving in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.<br />
Committee: WILLIAM HARRISON WILLIAMS<br />
R. PAUL CAUDILL<br />
CLIFTON J. ALLEN<br />
Following the reading of the committee's report, Dr. T. J. Watts, in behalf<br />
of the agencies of the Convention, presented beautiful sterling silver vases, properly<br />
inscribed, to Secretaries Moore <strong>and</strong> Burnett. Dr. Moore responded with<br />
happy appropriateness, <strong>and</strong> then, in the absence of the associate secretary, was<br />
asked to deliver the vase to Mr. Burnett.

Foreign Mission Board<br />
M. THERON RANKIN, Executive Secretary<br />
^Jhe l^atkwau to J i eace<br />
As we emerge from the years of war <strong>and</strong> the clouds of the storm clear away,<br />
two facts concerning foreign missions st<strong>and</strong> out strong <strong>and</strong> steady against a<br />
background of confusion <strong>and</strong> destruction.<br />
First, that the achievements of world missions are indestructible. The light<br />
of abundant evidence from China, Japan, <strong>and</strong> Europe has already been thrown<br />
upon this fact. Within a few weeks after the surrender of Japan, missionaries<br />
of our Board were back in the areas of China that had been held by Japan.<br />
They are now in every section of the country in which our Board had operated.<br />
Our missionaries have not yet been able to return to Japan, but Baptist chaplains<br />
who entered with the armed forces have given us detailed information <strong>and</strong> have<br />
transmitted communications from Japanese Baptists. To survey the needs <strong>and</strong><br />
opportunities in European war areas, Dr. George W. Sadler, secretary for Africa,<br />
Europe, <strong>and</strong> the Near East, spent the first three months of 1946 in Europe.<br />
Through all of these direct contacts have come living testimonies that the<br />
achievements of Christian missions cannot be destroyed. Underneath the destruction<br />
of buildings <strong>and</strong> property of all kinds, down underneath human suffering<br />
<strong>and</strong> misery, the living foundations of God's Kingdom abide strong <strong>and</strong> indestructible<br />
in the lives of Christian people.<br />
In the three years from 1943 to 1945, the Foreign Mission Board appointed<br />
one <strong>hundred</strong> new volunteers. Plans are under way to appoint <strong>six</strong>ty others in<br />
1946. It is expected that within the present year the entire staff of missionaries<br />
will be on their fields of work.<br />
Total receipts for foreign missions in 1945 reached an all-time high figure of<br />
$3,592,000. The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering began the year 1946 on an<br />
even higher level than heretofore with total contributions of approximately<br />
$1,200,000.<br />
In addition to providing for its annual over-all budget of $3,000,000, the<br />
Foreign Mission Board has been able, during the past several years, to set aside<br />
from current funds approximately $2,700,000 against a total of $7,000,000 which<br />
will be needed over-<strong>and</strong>-above the current annual budget to rehabilitate <strong>and</strong><br />
enlarge our world-wide missionary undertaking. The Board earnestly hopes<br />
that the Convention will project plans to provide the balance of special funds<br />
needed, so that the entire amount of current receipts may be used for the<br />
appointment of missionaries <strong>and</strong> the support of current work.<br />
The second fact that st<strong>and</strong>s out clear <strong>and</strong> strong against the background<br />
of war's destruction is that Southern Baptists must do far more to help save<br />
the world than we have been doing. In the light of the world's urgent need,<br />
the Foreign Mission Board's present program can be seen in its tragic smallness.<br />
If the whole world was ever in need of Christ, it is now. If people were ever<br />
in need of salvation, it is now. If suffering humanity ever needed the help of<br />
five <strong>and</strong> a half million Southern Baptists, with all their great resources, it is now.<br />
In view of such need, it is unthinkable that we shall continue to send only 550<br />
missionaries to tell the world about Christ; it is unthinkable that we shall continue<br />
to give only an average of seventy cents per person per year to help all<br />
the world outside our own territory.<br />
Appointments of missionaries will be increased as rapidly as our financial<br />
income <strong>and</strong> the supply of suitable volunteers permit. If the goals projected<br />
through the Co-operative Program for 1946 are achieved, the Foreign Mission<br />
Board's income for this year will exceed [225]<br />
the high record of 1945 by approximately<br />
$1,000,000. In this event, we hope that the Board will be able to increase the<br />
number of appointees in 1947 to a minimum of seventy-five.<br />
As the program in foreign l<strong>and</strong>s is enlarged, the staff for home administration<br />
must increase. A Department of Education <strong>and</strong> Promotion will be added
226 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
to our organization as soon as a directing secretary for the department can be<br />
selected. Dr. B. J. Cauthen, the recently elected secretary for the Orient, began<br />
his work in Richmond January 1 of this year. Miss Gene Newton has been<br />
elected as assistant to the executive secretary.<br />
RELIEF<br />
Through the World Emergency Committee of the Foi-eign Mission Board,<br />
Southern Baptists have contributed for relief of destitute people a total of<br />
$1,127,000 in the years 1942-45. Of this amount $234,608 was given in 1945.<br />
• In the distribution of these funds, priority has been given to needs in areas<br />
where the Foreign Mission Board has missionary work. The larger part of<br />
this money has been expended through our missionary channels in China.<br />
There are, however, vast areas of destitution where the Foreign Mission<br />
Board does not have missionaries. In those areas, the World Emergency Committee<br />
has used the best available channels for rendering relief. It is not the<br />
idea of the Committee that Southern Baptists wish to withhold help from<br />
destitute people because the relief we contribute cannot be h<strong>and</strong>led by Baptist<br />
agencies. Where there are such agencies, they are used. Where there are none,<br />
other available agencies are used to dispense our gifts. .<br />
The need of millions of people for food <strong>and</strong> clothing is so tragic <strong>and</strong> urgent<br />
that we must reach out through every effective channel to meet these needs.<br />
The reports which follow will tell their story of indestructible achievements<br />
of the past <strong>and</strong> of the compelling needs of today.<br />
THE FOREIGN MISSION BOARD<br />
—HISTORICAL SKETCH—<br />
E. C. ROUTH<br />
When the Southern Baptist Convention was organized in Augusta, Georgia,<br />
101 years ago, two mission boards were constituted, one for Foreign Missions,<br />
the other for Domestic Missions. Richmond, Virginia, was designated as the<br />
location of the Foreign Mission Board.<br />
The first missionary appointed by the Foreign Mission Board was Samuel<br />
C. Clopton, who was commissioned September 1, 1845, to go to China. George<br />
Pearcy was appointed November 3 of the same year. Both sailed early the next<br />
summer. J. Lewis Shuck who, in response to the appeal of Luther Rice, had<br />
gone to China in 1835 with his young wife, Henrietta Hall Shuck, had returned<br />
to this country in 1846 with his motherless children. He was available for<br />
appointment by the Southern Board, <strong>and</strong> returned to China in 1847, as a missionary<br />
of our Board. He was assigned to Shanghai, with Matthew T. Yates <strong>and</strong><br />
T. W. Tobey as his associates. He <strong>and</strong> I. J. Roberts, who had labored in China,<br />
first at Macao, then at Hongkong, <strong>and</strong> had started a mission at Canton in 1844J<br />
were appointed March 27, 1846. Roberts was to be located at Canton.<br />
The North China Mission, Shantung Province, was opened in 1860 with Mr.<br />
<strong>and</strong> Mrs. J. L. Holmes <strong>and</strong> Dr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. J. B. Hartwell as pioneers. Dr. R. H!<br />
Graves had gone out to Canton in 1856. Dr. Hartwell baptized the first man won<br />
to Christ in Shantung Province.<br />
The Interior China Mission was opened in 1904 by W. Eugene Sallee <strong>and</strong><br />
W. W. Lawton.<br />
In June, 1846, Dr. James B. Taylor, in response to the urgent plea of the<br />
Foreign Mission Board, resigned as pastor of the Grace Baptist Church, Richmond,<br />
<strong>and</strong> accepted the secretaryship for full time. For twenty-<strong>six</strong> years he<br />
labored diligently <strong>and</strong> faithfully <strong>and</strong> laid enduring foundations for the everenlarging,<br />
world missionary program of Southern Baptists.<br />
After China, Africa was the next field to be entered. Interest in mission<br />
work in that continent dates back to 1815 when Richmond Baptist Missionary<br />
Society was constituted "with a view solely of missions in Africa." The American<br />
Baptist Missionary Union, the foreign missionary agency of Northern Baptists,<br />
maintained its own work in Western Africa until 1856 when Northern Baptists'<br />
withdrew from Liberia. In the meantime, a number of missionaries of the<br />
Missionary Union exercised the option given them of associating themselves with
FOREIGN MISSION BOARD 227<br />
the Southern Board. Rev. John Day <strong>and</strong> Rev. A. L. Jones were appointed by<br />
the Southern Board in September, 1846, to be located at Gr<strong>and</strong> Bassa on the<br />
West Coast.<br />
John Day, a native of Virginia, had gone out to Liberia in 1830 as a missionary<br />
of the Triennial Convention. One of the outst<strong>and</strong>ing missionaries on<br />
the West Coast was Rev. J. M. Harden, who was appointed by the Foreign<br />
Mission Board in December, 1850, <strong>and</strong> was transferred from Liberia to Nigeria<br />
in 1856.<br />
The first Southern Baptist missionary to Nigeria was Rev. T. J. Bowen who<br />
went out in 1850. The first city in Nigeria to open its doors to him was Abeokuta.<br />
Additional missionaries were sent to Nigeria in 1853. Through the dark days<br />
of the War Between the States, <strong>and</strong> Reconstruction Days, Moses L. Stone <strong>and</strong><br />
Mrs. J. M. Harden (Mr. Harden died in 1864) held our work together.<br />
In 1874 W. J. David went out from Mississippi under appointment of the<br />
Foreign Mission Board, <strong>and</strong> from that time the work in Nigeria grew slowly<br />
but steadily. We now have some seventy missionaries in Nigeria, <strong>and</strong> there is<br />
desperate need for that many more to enter open doors <strong>and</strong> to reinforce overworked<br />
missionaries already on the field.<br />
In September, 1870, our work in Italy was opened with the occupation of<br />
Rome, when Dr. William Cote of Paris, under appointment as a missionary of<br />
the Southern Baptist Convention, entered Rome with the army of Victor Emmanuel,<br />
King of Italy. In March, 1873, George Boardman Taylor, son of the<br />
sainted James B. Taylor, was appointed missionary to Italy. The story of<br />
missionary trials <strong>and</strong> triumphs in Italy constitutes one of the most ^glorious<br />
chapters in Southern Baptist history. Through World War II, Italian Baptists,<br />
heroic soldiers of the Cross, have kept the work going despite great suffering<br />
<strong>and</strong> sacrifice.<br />
From February, 1872, to June, 1893, Dr. Henry Allen Tupper was corresponding<br />
secretary of the Board. During his term of service Mexico (1880),<br />
Brazil (1881), <strong>and</strong> Japan (1890) were entered. The Woman's Missionary Union,<br />
auxiliary to the Southern Baptist Convention, was organized (Richmond, 1888).<br />
The first missionary of Texas Baptists in Mexico (transferred to Southern<br />
Baptists) was John Westrup who began his work November 1, 1880, but was<br />
murdered shortly thereafter. One of the best-known missionaries to Mexico in<br />
those early days was Dr. W. D. Powell.<br />
Dr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. W. B. Bagby were appointed missionaries to Brazil in December,<br />
1880, <strong>and</strong> sailed the next month. The first Baptist church was organized<br />
by Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Bagby <strong>and</strong> Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Z. C. Taylor at Bahia in October,<br />
1882. Dr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Bagby spent fifty-seven years of active service in Brazil<br />
before they were separated by death. Their five children gave themselves to<br />
missionary service in South America.<br />
In 1889, thirty years after Japan was opened to Christian missionaries, we<br />
sent there two- missionary couples, Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. J. W. McCollum, <strong>and</strong> Mr. <strong>and</strong><br />
Mrs. J. A. Brunson. In 1860, two missionaries under appointment of the Foreign<br />
Mission Board had sailed for Japan, but their boat was never heard from again.<br />
It was difficult in those days to forecast the changes which would take place in<br />
Japan the next fifty-five years.<br />
Miracles of God's grace <strong>and</strong> power have been manifest in recent months<br />
in Japan. A great American layman, a judge advocate in Japan, wrote: "The<br />
doors are wide open <strong>and</strong> minds are receptive as never before. It would have<br />
taken centuries for our missionaries to do what they can new do overnight."<br />
Dr. Henry Allen Tupper was succeeded by Dr. Robert J. Willingham (September,<br />
1893, to December, 1914). Under his leadership the gifts of Southern Baptists<br />
to missions increased from $106,332 in 1893 to $587,458 in 1914. Among<br />
the outst<strong>and</strong>ing achievements of his administration was the development of our<br />
institutional work as represented in schools, colleges, seminaries, <strong>and</strong> hospitals.<br />
No man among us ever revealed to a greater degree the compassionate heart of<br />
God. While he was secretary we entered Arg entma (1903) <strong>and</strong> Uruguay (1911).<br />
Secretary James Franklin Love (home secretary May, 1914, to June, 1915,<br />
<strong>and</strong> executive secretary June, 1915, to May, 1928) was a missionary statesman.<br />
During his administration Southern Baptists began work in Chile (1917) <strong>and</strong><br />
assumed responsibility for Baptist Mission work in Syria (1920), Palestine<br />
<strong>and</strong> (1920), the Spain Ukraine (1921), (1921).<br />
Yugoslavia (1921), Hungary (1921), Rumania (1921),

SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
Dr. Bronson Ray was connected with the Foreign Mission Board from 1906<br />
to 1932, first as editorial secretary, <strong>and</strong> successively as secretary of education,<br />
assistant secretary, foreign secretary, <strong>and</strong> executive secretary. He was a pioneer<br />
in the field of mission study <strong>and</strong> was the author of a number of missionary books<br />
At a time when the Foreign Mission Board was under the crushing load of<br />
a tremendous debt, <strong>and</strong> interest in world missions was at a low ebb, Dr. Charles<br />
E. Maddry was elected executive secretary of the Board, <strong>and</strong> gave twelve years<br />
of glorious service, displaying all those qualities of leadership which inspired<br />
confidence <strong>and</strong> created enthusiasm. One of the highest hours in the history of<br />
the Board was witnessed at the April meeting of the Board in 1943, when the<br />
last bit of financial indebtedness was cleared. For the first time m seventy-one<br />
years, the 1944 report of the Foreign Mission Board contained no reference to<br />
interest payments. While Dr. Maddry was secretary he visited all of our mission<br />
fields, being accompanied on most of the trips by Mrs. Maddry. Regional secretaries<br />
were selected for three great areas: the Orient; Latin America; <strong>and</strong><br />
Africa, Europe, <strong>and</strong> the Near East. A workable pension plan for missionaries<br />
<strong>and</strong> Board employees was adopted. A secretary of missionary personnel was<br />
appointed. The Commission, the monthly missionary magazine of the Board, was<br />
established with a circulation which has now reached the high point of nearly<br />
85,000. There has been a commendable beginning in the field of visual education.<br />
Work was opened in Hawaii (1940), Colombia (1941), <strong>and</strong> Paraguay (1945).<br />
On Dr. Maddry's insistence, the Board accepted his resignation as secretary,<br />
effective December 31, 1944, <strong>and</strong> Dr. M. Theron Rankin, secretary for the Orient<br />
for a number of years, was elected executive secretary. Under Dr. Rankin's<br />
leadership the Board is planning an enlarged world-program with a secure<br />
financial base. We face the big task of relief, reconstruction, <strong>and</strong> rehabilitation.<br />
God has set before us open doors which we must not fail to enter.<br />
The Foreign Mission Board has been honored in the men who have served as<br />
presidents: J. B. Jeter (1845-1849; 1853-1866, 1867); R. B. C. Howell (1850-<br />
1853); J. L. Burrows (1866, 68-70; 1872-1874); J. L. M. Curry (1871-72; 1874-<br />
1886) ; H. H. Harris (1886-1895) ; C. H. Winston (1896-1901) ; J. B. Hutson<br />
(1902-1916); William Ellyson (1916-1919) ; R. E. Gaines (1920-32); L. Howard<br />
Jenkins (1932—).<br />
WORLD PEACE THROUGH WORLD ACQUAINTANCE<br />
SIMULTANEOUS CHURCH SCHOOLS OF MISSIONS<br />
W. B. IOHNSON*<br />
He will teach us of his ways, <strong>and</strong> we will walk in his paths.—<br />
Isaiah 2:3<br />
During the past year there have been 283 Schools of Missions in the<br />
churches, in almost every state in the Southern Baptist Convention. This<br />
missionary education has done a great deal to stimulate interest in missions<br />
<strong>and</strong> has led to increased giving to missionary causes. One chairman wrote:<br />
"The greatest interest in our southwide objects ever known in Kentucky." His<br />
gr<strong>and</strong> total attendance was 12,259. Another pastor wrote: "Surely there will<br />
be more <strong>and</strong> better support of the great cause of missions now that we have<br />
had such splendid enlightenment." In a Missouri School of Missions there was<br />
contributed $1,200 for relief, <strong>and</strong> 113 subscriptions to The Commission were<br />
secured. The largest attendance was in Arkansas with a gr<strong>and</strong> total of 15,000.<br />
There were similar figures in other places.<br />
All of our missionaries on furlough, except those who were sick or engaged<br />
in some other special work, have been kept busy with Schools of Missions programs<br />
<strong>and</strong> other deputation engagements. During the summer months requests<br />
for missionaries to work in camps were more than we could supply. Several<br />
of our missionaries helped in as many as nine camps during the summer.<br />
Reports from these camps were excellent, showing many conversions <strong>and</strong> also<br />

FOREIGN MISSION BOARD 229<br />
MISSIONARY PERSONNEL ON THE PATHWAY TO PEACE<br />
I. W. MARSHALL. Secretary V<br />
DEPARTMENT OF MISSIONARY PERSONNEL<br />
I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, <strong>and</strong> who<br />
will go for us? Then I said, Here am I, Send me.—Isaiah 6:8<br />
On April 10, 1945, the Foreign Mission Board commissioned thirty-eight<br />
new missionaries; eight to Nigeria, West Africa; one to Palestine; four to<br />
Japan; three to China; three to Hawaii; seven to Brazil; four to Colombia;<br />
two to Argentina; two to Chile; two to Uruguay, <strong>and</strong> two to Mexico. Because<br />
of personnel needs in so many stations, the Department of Personnel tried to<br />
find at least fifty qualified c<strong>and</strong>idates for appointment in 1945, but only thirtysight<br />
could be found.<br />
The Foreign Mission Board has committed itself to the appointment of<br />
fifty or <strong>six</strong>ty missionaries during the year 1946 but, according to records available<br />
in the personnel office, the Board will be unable to find more than <strong>forty</strong><br />
yc <strong>forty</strong>-five who are ready for appointment.<br />
This condition must be changed. Recruits for undermanned mission stations<br />
around the world must be found. On the basis of our present financial<br />
status, the Foreign Mission Board must commission a minimum of fifty new<br />
missionaries each year up to 1952. If the foreign-mission budget is increased,<br />
the missionary personnel can be increased.<br />
"Foreign missionaries have done more for world peace than any other<br />
group." So said President Harry Truman to a group of Southern Baptist<br />
missionaries who were his guests in the White House a few weeks ago. Christ<br />
has. commissioned us to preach the gospel to all nations. He offered no other<br />
remedy for war. The way of foreign missions is "the pathway to peace" in<br />
this, the darkest period of the world. We must endeavor to help people in all<br />
countries to become really Christian immediately. Certainly the missionary<br />
movement can play a major role in preventing a third world war. Surely<br />
Southern Baptists will give with ab<strong>and</strong>on to support a plan for preventing<br />
another war. Until we really believe that Christ is the only remedy for war,<br />
<strong>and</strong> until we give our money, our possessions in a worthy way to the evangelization<br />
of the world, we are not going to have many of our young people consecrating<br />
their all to the task of world missions.<br />
Southern Baptists face the most titantic job ever placed before them. It is<br />
a judgment day for us. If we fail to offer the world the only hope, we shall<br />
be traitors to our age, our Christ, our country, <strong>and</strong> to our children. For the<br />
Foreign Mission Board representing a constituency of five <strong>and</strong> a half million<br />
Southern Baptists to have only 550 missionaries under appointment at present<br />
is unthinkable.<br />
Pastors <strong>and</strong> other leaders throughout the South are urged to co-operate<br />
with the Department of Missionary Personnel in finding qualified missionary<br />
volunteers <strong>and</strong> c<strong>and</strong>idates.<br />
STRONG GOSPEL PREACHERS NEEDED<br />
Mature preachers of the gospel are in great dem<strong>and</strong> for every field. A<br />
minimum of three ordained men with wives is needed for evangelistic-educational<br />
work in Nigeria; twenty-one for evangelistic work in China's churches; four for<br />
student evangelism in China; fifteen for evangelism in Japan; two for Rumania;<br />
one for Spain; one for Moslems in Yugoslavia; three for Mexico.<br />
A minimum of nine ordained men with wives should be found for city<br />
evangelism in Colombia, Ecuador, <strong>and</strong> Venezuela; <strong>six</strong> for Chile; three for<br />
Argentina; two for Uruguay; ten for Brazil; one for student evangelism in<br />
Brazil; five for evangelism in Hawaii; one ordained man <strong>and</strong> wife for pioneer<br />
work in Transjordania; one couple for supervision of orphanage in Palestine.<br />
Other successful young pastors are needed for work abroad.<br />
TEACHERS—MEN AND WOMEN<br />
Twenty-one teachers are needed at once for Nigeria where several faithful<br />
missionaries have collapsed recently because of overwork. Ten teachers are<br />
needed for secondary schools for girls; four teachers for secondary schools for<br />
boys; four theological teachers; manual arts teacher <strong>and</strong> wife; <strong>and</strong> two teachers<br />
for normal schools are urgently needed.
230 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
For middle schools <strong>and</strong> colleges in China, we need ten educational administrators<br />
<strong>and</strong> twelve teachers; seven theological teachers are wanted for our<br />
seminaries in China; fifteen teachers for schools <strong>and</strong> colleges in Japan will be<br />
needed soon.<br />
A theological teacher <strong>and</strong> wife are needed for both Italy <strong>and</strong> Yugoslavia,<br />
to train national leaders for Christian ministry. Six educators are wanted<br />
for Palestine. The following are needed for Latin America: two teachers<br />
for woman's training schools in Mexico <strong>and</strong> Brazil; ordained man <strong>and</strong> wife for<br />
theological school in Colombia; eight primary teachers with musical ability for<br />
Ecuador, Colombia, <strong>and</strong> Venezuela; ordained man <strong>and</strong> wife for training national<br />
workers in Paraguay; three women teachers for elementary <strong>and</strong> secondary<br />
schools in Brazil; an ordained man <strong>and</strong> wife for theological school in Brazil;<br />
a teacher for woman's college in Brazil.<br />
CALLING DOCTORS AND NURSES<br />
Nineteen medical doctors, one dentist, <strong>and</strong> <strong>nineteen</strong> nurses are urgently<br />
needed now, for hospitals <strong>and</strong> schools in Nigeria, China, Paraguay, Mexico,<br />
Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Palestine, <strong>and</strong> the<br />
Arabian Peninsula.<br />
WRITERS AND PRINTERS<br />
Men <strong>and</strong> women with creative writing ability are needed for every one of<br />
our foreign mission fields. Two theologically-trained journalists with wives are<br />
needed for editorial work in Nigeria; printer-journalist <strong>and</strong> wife for Nigeria;<br />
two journalists <strong>and</strong> wives for publication work in China; journalist <strong>and</strong> wife<br />
for editorial <strong>and</strong> publication work in Italy; journalist <strong>and</strong> wife for Mexican<br />
publishing house. Trained, single women are also needed in all of these fields.<br />
ARCHITECTS AND BUSINESS PEOPLE<br />
Wanted: an architect <strong>and</strong> wife for work in Nigeria; a business man <strong>and</strong><br />
wife for book distribution in Nigeria; four women with business training <strong>and</strong><br />
with experience in church work, for Chile, Brazil, <strong>and</strong> Argentina. Several<br />
women are needed for goodwill centers <strong>and</strong> for evangelistic work.<br />
This is only a sample of the imperative needs of your Foreign Mission Board.<br />
BASIC REQUIREMENTS<br />
Basic requirements for appointment to strategic foreign mission service in<br />
twenty countries of the world are:<br />
A personal Christian experience <strong>and</strong> growing Christian personality, finding<br />
expression in daily purpose to serve.<br />
Not less than twenty-four <strong>and</strong> not more than thirty-two years of age—<br />
unless delayed by military service. Younger volunteers should notify the personnel<br />
secretary of the Foreign Mission Board of their desire to be appointed<br />
at a later date.<br />
Sound mental, physical, <strong>and</strong> emotional habits.<br />
Liberal arts education <strong>and</strong> specialization, evidenced, as a rule, by bachelor's<br />
degree, a graduate degree, <strong>and</strong> a formal or informal internship'in the chosen<br />
field.<br />
The foregoing presupposes that each volunteer has experienced a specific<br />
<strong>and</strong> unmistakable call from God to serve him in a foreign l<strong>and</strong>.<br />
The Foreign Mission Board is anxious to have the name <strong>and</strong> address of<br />
every foreign mission volunteer. Each is invited to confer by correspondence<br />
or by personal interview with the secretary of the Department of the Missionary<br />
Personnel, Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention fRn*<br />

Christian literature is essential in creating, maintaining <strong>and</strong> strength<br />
interest in any <strong>and</strong> every form of Christian endeavor. As in war, communication<br />
operations are indispensable, so in peace, the lines of contact must be
FOREIGN MISSION BOARD 231<br />
kept open. Information, indoctrination, <strong>and</strong> inspiration must precede enlistment.<br />
The primary purpose of the Foreign Mission Board in publishing The Commission<br />
is to acquaint our constituency with world missionary opportunities <strong>and</strong><br />
obligations, <strong>and</strong> to summon our Baptist people to accept this challenge of our<br />
Lord to be witnesses "unto the uttermost parts of the earth." The justification<br />
for this department of the Foreign Mission Board's ministry is shown not only<br />
in the increased financial receipts of the Board, but in the deepening conviction<br />
of our ever widening circle of readers concerning Christ's program of missions,<br />
evangelism, Christian education, <strong>and</strong> beneficence.<br />
The circulation of The Commission is steadily increasing, the press run for<br />
the May issue being 84,000, a gain of seventy-five per cent within three years.<br />
But this is not enough. We should make every effort to enlist many more<br />
thous<strong>and</strong>s of homes <strong>and</strong>, within the next year,'to cross the 100,000 mark. With"<br />
five <strong>and</strong> a half million Southern white Baptists, we should have a subscription<br />
list of at least a half million.<br />
The most effective plan is the provision for placing The Commission in the<br />
church budget, certainly for all who have places of leadership in the life of<br />
the church. This can be done on a basis so reasonable as to place it within<br />
the reaeh of every church, large or small. One <strong>hundred</strong> copies, for example,<br />
will cost only $4.50 a month for eleven months (July <strong>and</strong> August being combined<br />
in one issue), with payments made monthly <strong>and</strong> magazines mailed to<br />
individual addresses. Already approximately 250 churches have adopted this<br />
plan <strong>and</strong> the list is growing.<br />
DEPARTMENT OF LITERATURE AND EXHIBITS<br />
MARY M. HUNTER. Manager<br />
The Department of Literature <strong>and</strong> Exhibits acknowledges its indebtedness<br />
to Southern Baptists for their widespread use of foreign mission promotional<br />
literature. Recommended through The Commission <strong>and</strong> other publicity outlets,<br />
folders, pamphlets, charts, <strong>and</strong> posters were ordered for missionary programs<br />
in churches throughout the Southern Baptist Convention.<br />
Mimeographed work of the Department in the form of helps to teachers<br />
<strong>and</strong> workbooks for members of Junior grades has widened <strong>and</strong> become increasingly<br />
effective. Woman's Missionary Societies, their auxiliaries, <strong>and</strong> Church<br />
Schools of Missions have expressed their appreciation of the value of the teaching<br />
material furnished by the Foreign Mission Board <strong>and</strong> the gratifying results<br />
that follow. Never before has the Department h<strong>and</strong>led so much material for<br />
the increasing of missionary knowledge. It is believed that largely through the<br />
educational propag<strong>and</strong>a, Southern Baptists have become more conscious of the<br />
magnitude of their foreign mission task <strong>and</strong> more generous in its support.<br />
AH requests sent to the Foreign Mission Board will receive prompt attention.<br />
AUDIO-VISUAL AIDS<br />
The usefulness of the Department of Literature <strong>and</strong> Exhibits has broadened.<br />
The Audio Visual Library of the Foreign Mission Board has come into a place<br />
of large usefulness in promoting missionary interest <strong>and</strong> inspiration. It is<br />
certain that enthusiasm for larger endeavor in Southern Baptists' world-wide<br />
work is one of the results of audio-visual education. The value of visual aids<br />
as a method of giving missionary knowledge cannot be overestimated.<br />
"An American Mission," a professionally produced film, highlighting episodes<br />
in the beginnings of modern missionary history <strong>and</strong> in the Foreign Mission<br />
Board's activities for the past one <strong>hundred</strong> years, was shown in <strong>hundred</strong>s of<br />
churches last year.<br />
The two reels on Mexico—one of Mexican scenes <strong>and</strong> modes of life in<br />
Mexico, the other of Southern Baptists' work in that country—were included<br />
in the library the last of the year. Our first motion picture of Southern Baptist<br />
work in Mexico is in constant use. Reel 1—"They Shall Inherit the Earth";<br />
Reel 2—"Our Nearest Foreign Mission Field."

THE ROAD TO UNDERSTANDING<br />
NAN F. WEEKS, Book Editor<br />
The maxim, "Know thyself" does not suffice.<br />
Know others—know them well; that's my advice.<br />
—Men<strong>and</strong>er<br />
Knowing people of other races <strong>and</strong> customs <strong>and</strong> creeds, knowing something<br />
of their heartaches <strong>and</strong> their hunger, their burdens <strong>and</strong> their bewilderment,<br />
their loyalties <strong>and</strong> their longings, their problems <strong>and</strong> their potentialities such<br />
knowledge opens the gateway to wholehearted co-operation <strong>and</strong> helpfulness.<br />
To enable Southern Baptists to acquire this knowledge, the Foreign Mission<br />
Board presents each year its graded series of study books.<br />
During the past year the Book Department has been at work preparing the<br />
following books for this year's study:<br />
ADULTS<br />
Now Is the Day—a compilation in which the three regional secretaries Drs.<br />
George W. Sadler, Everett Gill, Jr., <strong>and</strong> Baker J. Cauthen tell of Southern Baptist<br />
activities in Europe <strong>and</strong> Palestine, in Latin America, <strong>and</strong> in the Orient. Rev.<br />
I. N. Patterson discusses the outlook <strong>and</strong> needs in Nigeria, <strong>and</strong> Dr. M. T. Rankin<br />
sounds the note of appeal on behalf of all Southern Baptist mission l<strong>and</strong>s.<br />
YOUNG PEOPLE AND INTERMEDIATES<br />
Carved on Our Hearts—written by Saxon Rowe Carver, who knows <strong>and</strong> loves<br />
the Chinese people. The five intriguing chapter-titles are in themselves a commentary<br />
on the book. They are: "China, L<strong>and</strong> of Color"; "China, L<strong>and</strong> of<br />
Charm"; "China, L<strong>and</strong> of Change"; "China, L<strong>and</strong> of Contrast"; <strong>and</strong> "China, L<strong>and</strong>
FOREIGN MISSION BOARD 233<br />
of Challenge." Leader's helps in a separate booklet are furnished by the P'oreign<br />
Mission Board.<br />
FOR G. A'S AND R. A'S (JUNIORS)<br />
This Is My Father's World. In this study course, Margaret T. Applegarth<br />
tells of junior girls <strong>and</strong> boys of Africa, Japan, China, Italy, <strong>and</strong> Palestine, presenting<br />
them in such a way as to make them live in the minds <strong>and</strong> hearts of<br />
imaginative Juniors. Leader's helps, under separate cover, abound in unique<br />
suggestions.<br />
FOR SUNBEAMS (PRIMARY)<br />
God Is Love in Any Language. Mrs. Clyde V. Hickerson has presented five<br />
stories of winsome little Mexican children who are learning that "God is love."<br />
The stories, told in simple language, reveal the attractiveness of our little Mexican<br />
neighbors <strong>and</strong> their need of the friendship of Jesus. Leader's helps are in a<br />
separate booklet.<br />
These study books are to be ready for use in the late summer or early autumn.<br />
Several basic books—histories, <strong>and</strong> biographies—are ready for the press; but<br />
post-war shortages of paper <strong>and</strong> labor prevent their immediate publication.<br />
THE ORIENT<br />
BAKER I. CAUTHEN, Secretary for the Orient<br />
The Orient in Search of Peace<br />
He will speak peace.—Psalm 85:8<br />
The year 1945 began with the world still in the grip of war. No one could<br />
say how long it would be until peace would come. Even after the fall of<br />
Germany the situation in the Orient was uncertain. How desperately the<br />
Japanese would continue to resist was a great question. Missionaries could<br />
lay no plans for return t6 the fields.<br />
Under these circumstances a mere h<strong>and</strong>ful of missionaries carried on in<br />
China. At Macao the work continued <strong>and</strong> in Chungking a new center of Baptist<br />
activity was developed. It was in this latter city that the work in Free China<br />
concentrated after the fall of Kweilin.<br />
A group of missionaries did notable service in connection with the armed<br />
forces. They trained Chinese interpreters, <strong>and</strong> they also served as liaison<br />
officers. In this work they found opportunity for witness to many people who<br />
would not otherwise have heard the gospel, <strong>and</strong> their efforts resulted in many<br />
professions -The sudden of faith ending <strong>and</strong> of in hostilities establishing with helpful Japan contacts brought for us missionary immediately service. into<br />
the long-awaited post-war era. A few days after the articles of surrender were<br />
signed in Tokyo Bay, representatives of our missions in China <strong>and</strong> Japan met<br />
in Richmond to discuss plans for re-projecting mission work in the Orient.<br />
DELEGATES TO THE ALL CHINA BAPTIST PRELIMINARY CONFERENCE<br />
Shanghai, February 11-14, 1946
234 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
It was recognized that because of the chaotic conditions produced by the war,<br />
the return of missionaries could not be accomplished overnight. It was decided<br />
that a number of missionaries would go first as a spearhead, sending reports<br />
back to the Board.<br />
The return of the first missionaries was paralleled by the return from western<br />
China to the coastal areas of those who had been working in the Interior.<br />
Dr. W. L. Wallace <strong>and</strong> Miss Lucy Wright, who had heroically carried on in<br />
Wuchow until they were forced to evacuate with the hospital in the face of<br />
invading armies, now returned with their staffs <strong>and</strong> re-opened work. The group<br />
in Chungking moved to Shanghai <strong>and</strong> began to re-establish contacts.<br />
As word began to come to the Board from the areas overrun by the Japanese,<br />
a picture of the loyalty <strong>and</strong> heroism of the Chinese Christians began to unfold.<br />
In the face of great danger they had remained true to Christ. Many had<br />
suffered terribly. They had lost their possessions. Their homes had been<br />
destroyed. They had fled many weary miles <strong>and</strong> their bodies had grown thin<br />
by hunger. Through it all, however, they had come rejoicing in the goodness<br />
of God. Amid tribulation they had grown spiritually. The precious promises<br />
of God had been put to the test <strong>and</strong> had been found dependable. Great was<br />
the joy of returning missionaries as they were welcomed by these Chinese<br />
friends who had borne their witness in the midst of such suffering.<br />
Both missionaries <strong>and</strong> Chinese agree that a great door of opportunity is<br />
open in the Orient. There is a challenge of relief <strong>and</strong> rehabilitation. People<br />
hungry, homeless, <strong>and</strong> sick need a loving ministry. Children left homeless by<br />
the war look to us with tender appeal. Many buildings are badly damaged or<br />
totally destroyed <strong>and</strong> the cost of reconstruction will be great. Christian<br />
workers who have lost their possessions must be aided.<br />
On every h<strong>and</strong>, there is golden opportunity for preaching the gospel of<br />
Christ. People with their hearts prepared through suffering want to hear a<br />
message of life <strong>and</strong> hope. Especially, among the student class, in universities<br />
<strong>and</strong> high schools, is there an open door for witness. There is a deep conviction<br />
that we are facing a day of marvelous opportunity in China <strong>and</strong> in Japan.<br />
Already, the Chinese Christians have made progress toward reorganizing<br />
their work. Their Conventions have established relief committees <strong>and</strong> they<br />
are seeking to meet urgent needs.<br />
Because of the difficulties of securing passage, the disrupted travel conditions<br />
in China, <strong>and</strong> the overcrowded state of the port cities, the return of<br />
missionaries has been slow. We are expecting the momentum to increase as<br />
these conditions become adjusted. Experienced missionaries are waiting expectantly<br />
for the hour of return, <strong>and</strong> new appointees are looking forward to<br />
beginning their work in the Orient.<br />
Because the Government will not grant passports, it has been impossible<br />
to return anyone to Japan. All reports coming from that l<strong>and</strong> indicate that<br />
a door of opportunity is open for Christian witness there. The conviction i

.In Kweilin, all the mission buildings—the church, the hospital, two Bible<br />
School buildings, two schools, <strong>and</strong> three missionary residences—were destroyed<br />
by\ Japanese bombs.<br />
In Wuchow, the church was burned <strong>and</strong> the hospital badly damaged. Dr.<br />
William Wallace, with a group of loyal Chinese doctors <strong>and</strong> nurses, successfully<br />
evaded the Japanese attacks, moving from place to place in advance of- the<br />
enemy. He has now returned to Wuchow where he <strong>and</strong> Dr. R. E. Beddoe <strong>and</strong><br />
Miss Lucy Wright are carrying on their work.<br />
In Canton, all of our mission buildings were, to some extent, damaged by<br />
air raids, but the destruction there was not so great. The Leung Wang hospital<br />
is being repaired. Pooi Ching Boys' School, which moved to Macao during the<br />
war, re-opened in February in Canton. Pooi In Girls' School <strong>and</strong> the Graves<br />
Memorial Seminary have resumed their work. The Chinese Baptists, under<br />
their own Christian leaders, are working <strong>and</strong> planning. The Leung Kwong<br />
baptist Association is doingan excellent work in distributing relief funds among<br />
the Christian workers in South China.<br />
In Macao Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. J. L. Galloway, Misses Lora Clement <strong>and</strong> Lenora<br />
Scarlett are bravely carrying on their work, despite privation <strong>and</strong> countless<br />
sacrifices.<br />
The following excerpts from a letter from Rev. John L. Galloway throw<br />
light on the situation in Macao. Although Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Galloway <strong>and</strong> Miss<br />
Lora Clement were virtually prisoners of the Japanese, suffering intense privation<br />
for more than four years, Mr. Galloway's letter makes not the slightest<br />
mention of their personal hardships. With Christlike. selflessness their compassion<br />
is for the Chinese sufferers among whom they work.<br />

STUDENTS BAPTIZED THIS SPRING, 1946

HOMELESS AND HUNGRY REFUGEES<br />
Dear Brother Rankin:—<br />
Your reply to my cable of October 4 was received on the 9th. The Executive<br />
Committee of the Leung Kwong Association has been functioning here<br />
because many of its leading members have been living here as refugees. They<br />
have asked me to act as treasurer.<br />
On account of the enemy occupation the bulk of the church members <strong>and</strong><br />
workers fled to free China, losing all their property <strong>and</strong> business, many of<br />
them becoming destitute. Not only were their homes looted <strong>and</strong> their families<br />
outraged, but many of the houses belonging to our Christians, especially at<br />
Tung Shaan, have been practically razed to the ground, <strong>and</strong> even the material<br />
carried away. Those who remained during the occupation have suffered in<br />
the same way. The mission buildings, churches, institutions, homes, have been<br />
stripped clean, shattered by bombs, or demolished. As a consequence, our<br />
Chinese fellow workers have been reduced to utter destitution. Even in the<br />
old, well-established, independent churches, the few members left have been<br />
unable to take care of their workers, or even of themselves for that matter.<br />
Learning of the desperate condition of these workers the Executive Committee<br />
of the Leung Kwong Association asked me to cable f or

While the Macao Church has managed to meet its budget, because of the<br />
large number of refugees who flocked here from Hong Kong <strong>and</strong> Canton when<br />
those places fell, on the other h<strong>and</strong>, on my advice, because of the precariousness<br />
of the situation here, all of our members who could do so, moved into<br />
Free China while there was a chance to get through, leaving only twenty to<br />
thirty of our original membership.<br />
The baptisms during this period have been almost entirely of such refugees,<br />
<strong>and</strong> now that these <strong>and</strong> the Christian refugees who have been living here, are<br />
returning to their homes, the Macao Church may also be reduced to requiring<br />
3ome temporary financial relief from the Foreign Mission Board until a new<br />
membership can be built up. Of course such help will only be sought as a<br />
last resource.<br />
I will reserve for another letter, the facts about the conditions in Macao<br />
during these years of siege.<br />
With every good wish,<br />
Sincerely,<br />

NORTH CHINA<br />
Tsingtao. Three of our missionaries—Rev. Frank H. Connely, Rev. C. L.<br />
Culpepper <strong>and</strong> Dr. N. A. Bryan—have returned to this area where clinics <strong>and</strong><br />
evangelistic work are being resumed with great effectiveness.<br />
The interior stations of North China were not, according to our latest<br />
reports, accessible, but Rev. J. A. Abernathy, who has been able to return to<br />
the North China Mission, reports that all the Chinese Baptist preachers are<br />
loyally <strong>and</strong> efficiently carrying forward the work.<br />
MANCHURIA<br />
That northern l<strong>and</strong> of continued strife has not yet been re-entered by any<br />
of our missionaries. However, Rev. C. L. Culpepper is planning to make a<br />
survey of the field <strong>and</strong> as soon as the way opens, eighteen of our missionaries<br />
are ready to enter that country in which, prior to the war, we had only<br />
one missionary—Miss Reba Stewart.<br />
INTERIOR CHINA<br />
Kaifeng. From this strategic center comes word of dauntless loyalty on<br />
the part of the national Christians <strong>and</strong> their Chinese leaders. The people seem<br />
hungry for the gospel <strong>and</strong> the church work is going forward despite difficulties<br />
<strong>and</strong> hardships.<br />
During Japanese occupation the entire compound (campus) of the True<br />
Light Middle School was taken over by the enemy, the building being used for<br />
a Japanese hospital unit. However the property is once more in the possession<br />
of its rightful owners, <strong>and</strong> the school, under the able leadership of that earnest<br />
Chinese Christian, Peter Lee, is again ministering to China's youth.<br />
WEST CHINA<br />
Chungking, China's war-time capital, with approximately 700,000 people, is<br />
indeed a place of opportunity. Here, as in countless other places the Baptist<br />
church has carried on ably under Chinese leadership, during the days of war s<br />
turmoil <strong>and</strong> terror <strong>and</strong> tragedy. As in the case of the great apostle, so among<br />
the Christians in China, the things which happened unto them "have fallen out<br />
rather unto the furtherance of the gospel."<br />
As in the early days of the Christian era, "they that were scattered abroad,<br />
went everywhere preaching the word." Christian men <strong>and</strong> women, fleeing as<br />
refugees from the Japanese-occupied areas of eastern China, carried with them
238 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
the gospel. Thus there has been established a frontier mission movement,<br />
which is strictly Chinese in origin <strong>and</strong> development. Among the efficient <strong>and</strong><br />
consecrated leaders of that movement are such outst<strong>and</strong>ing Christians as Dr.<br />
Abraham Hsu, Rose Tung, Mary Chen <strong>and</strong> Lu Uyu Mei. A testimony to the<br />
change that has taken place is the fact that an idol temple has been transformed<br />
into a Christian center <strong>and</strong> hospital.<br />
TOMORROW'S LEADERS, NOW IN A BAPTIST MISSION SCHOOL<br />
GLEANINGS FROM LETTERS<br />
A UNIQUE MISSIONARY MINISTRY<br />
B. L. NICHOLS<br />
The seaplane circled above Tsingtao several times <strong>and</strong> then, like an<br />
awkward fowl, skidded abreast the blue, choppy waters of the harbor. Motor<br />
launch <strong>and</strong> rickshaw gave me a lift to the guest-house of Mayor Li Hsien-liang.<br />
I kept a sharp eye on the coolies who carried my luggage. A twenty-threepound,<br />
paper-wrapped bundle contained ten million dollars (Chinese ^national<br />
currency) m thous<strong>and</strong>-dollar bills. This bundle was an appropriation by China's<br />
War Area Service Co-ops for the entertainment of U. S. service personnel in<br />
Tsingtao.<br />
For two weeks I was the guest of Mayor Li <strong>and</strong> had an hour's conference<br />
with him daily, concerning Chinese government matters.<br />
In addition to my military work as a liaison officer of the National Military<br />
Council, I was able to do considerable church work. As I flew into the liberated<br />
areas I always got in touch with the churches <strong>and</strong> pastors.<br />
Soon after my arrival in Tsingtao, Pastor Wang Chih-pu, one of my students<br />
m the Seminary at Hwanghsien, greeted me. Except for two weeks following<br />
the Pearl Harbor attack, the Tsingtao Baptist Church had continued worshin<br />
services interruptedly during the eight years of enemy occupation. A massive<br />
concrete machine-gun emplacement was built on the front steps but the wor<br />
shippers by-passed the obstruction <strong>and</strong> found their way into the sanctuary<br />
^T 1 l£f? I ^7 1Ved m T fi ngt ^ 0 ' 0ctober 1945, the situation was war-tense!<br />
Only thirty miles away, the Communists were surrounding the citv The<br />
Japanese had not yet surrendered arms.<br />
To my great delight I found that Pastor Wang was ministering to manv<br />
American service men. He cannot speak English; but Mr. James Wu, a layman,
FOREIGN MISSION BOARD 239<br />
can. Pastor Wang would preach to his Chinese congregation <strong>and</strong> Mr. Wu would<br />
interpret for the sake of about fifty American sailors <strong>and</strong> marines in the<br />
audience. To the pastor's ministry the Americans were responding with prayer<br />
<strong>and</strong> with purse. He was their pastor. One sailor gave $140 (U. S. currency)<br />
of his tithe for building repairs! In Pastor Wang's ministry I saw exemplified<br />
the fact that when we give for missions the gift will rebound as a blessing<br />
to ourselves.<br />
We are here in Tsingtao, surrounded on every side by American marines <strong>and</strong><br />
officers, who are the most courteous <strong>and</strong> accommodating men you have ever<br />
met. They have extended to us every courtesy <strong>and</strong> helped us in so many ways.<br />
One sees only politeness <strong>and</strong> kindliness on every side. Chinese swarm around<br />
the boys all over the streets so that sometimes traffic becomes jammed, but no<br />
one cares. Gone is the old militaristic spirit <strong>and</strong> fear of soldiers. Peace reigns<br />
in the city. Everyone is working frantically to bring order out of the chaos<br />
left by the former regime. American houses are being evacuated <strong>and</strong> many<br />
of them being renovated at Japanese expense. Stolen furniture is being collected<br />
so people can claim their own. Now is the time our missionary force<br />
should be here, for the opportunity is ripe to reopen our work. Tsingtao<br />
presents a wonderful opportunity for the beginning of a new missionary enterprise.<br />
With the proper force, work for Chinese can be started in many sections,<br />
<strong>and</strong> work among our boys is desperately needed. If we only had a few missionary<br />
homes with wives to help, we could do wonders for the boys. Let wives<br />
<strong>and</strong> families come quickly. This city is perfectly safe for women <strong>and</strong> children.<br />
This city can also furnish a beachhead to reopen work in the interior.<br />
The story is a little different with our interior cities at the present moment.<br />
National troops have not arrived <strong>and</strong> the whole interior is largely in the h<strong>and</strong>s<br />
of b<strong>and</strong>its <strong>and</strong> Communists—irregulars. The railroads are broken in several<br />
places <strong>and</strong> it is practically impossible to get to interior stations at the present<br />
writing. German Catholics are being driven out of the interior by these b<strong>and</strong>its<br />
<strong>and</strong> some are suffering. Things are too unsettled <strong>and</strong> communications are<br />
disrupted, so that at present, we will have to remain in Tsingtao.<br />
Tsingtao. Our property is in fairly good condition. Just needs redecorating<br />
<strong>and</strong> refinishing. No major repairs necessary. All houses are bare,<br />
of course—furniture gone. The church has been used, by the local congregation<br />
<strong>and</strong> has not suffered.<br />
Pingtu. The school buildings have suffered the greatest damage—doors <strong>and</strong><br />
windows gone, <strong>and</strong> even floors of some buildings have been torn up <strong>and</strong> burned<br />
—though not all of them. All buildings have been stripped of every movable<br />
thing. The north dormitory two-story building of the girls' school suffered<br />
heavily, part of the building walls being damaged. The church building also<br />
suffered heavily. The doors <strong>and</strong> windows are gone; the inside walls blackened<br />
by fires of occupying soldiers, <strong>and</strong> the roof has suffered some damage. The<br />
boys' school buildings are in the worst condition of all.<br />
Laichow. The hospital buildings have been pretty well destroyed—some<br />
burned. All the compound buildings have been occupied by Japanese, <strong>and</strong><br />
doors <strong>and</strong> windows gone. Only the Orphanage has remained intact <strong>and</strong> open<br />
for the use of the Christians. There are about thirty orphans, <strong>and</strong> that work<br />
has been carried on; <strong>and</strong> the Christians meet there.<br />
Laiyang. About half of the buildings have been destroyed. The place has<br />
been stripped of all equipment <strong>and</strong> now Communist forces are in control <strong>and</strong><br />
little can be done at present.<br />
Hwanghsien. The hospital <strong>and</strong> one residence have been burned. No other<br />
buildings have been destroyed, but all are minus window glass—broken by<br />
bombs <strong>and</strong> cannon-fire concussion. The compound church building remains,<br />
though minus most of the seats, organ, etc. The city church (south suburb)<br />
has lost most of its benches, organ, windows, etc., but is now used for the<br />
Kindergarten, I believe. The Hartwell house <strong>and</strong> nearby school buildings have<br />
all been emptied of every movable thing, glass gone. The same is true of<br />
Dr. Bryan's house.<br />
Chefoo. Church building is all right. The boy's school buildings are used<br />
by government schools. The pastor was forced to vacate <strong>and</strong> secure residence<br />
elsewhere. The girls' school <strong>and</strong> residence buildings are in bad shape. Most
240 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
of the doors, windows <strong>and</strong> floors are gone, though the buildings' walls are<br />
unharmed.<br />
Tsinan. The residences are in not too bad shape. The west half of the<br />
compound is filled with refugees. The church is being used by our local church<br />
<strong>and</strong> Pastor Wang is living in the Woman's Bible School, I believe—at least he<br />
lives in a building south of the church. The church inside the city under Mr.<br />
T'ong has functioned without interruption <strong>and</strong> I think the Kwan I Chiai church<br />
has also functioned.<br />
Tsining. The railroad between Tsingtao <strong>and</strong> Tsinan is broken but reports<br />
say it will soon reopen. . . . Communist-b<strong>and</strong>it armies seem to be in charge of<br />
all that section of the country. German Catholic priests have arrived from<br />
central Shantung (I Chow), forced out by the Communists. . . . People are<br />
suffering terribly because of the dem<strong>and</strong>s of these b<strong>and</strong>it hordes. Harvests<br />
were good <strong>and</strong> under normal conditions they would have had enough to eat,<br />
but the b<strong>and</strong>its take all the people have. . . . Money is in bad shape. One<br />
U. S. dollar brings from $2,700 to $4,500 of this local money. American<br />
sailors <strong>and</strong> marines spend money like water <strong>and</strong> <strong>hundred</strong>s of thous<strong>and</strong>s of<br />
American dollars have gone into Chinese h<strong>and</strong>s. We paid $600 for a short<br />
rickshaw ride.<br />
Tsingtao. We feel very strongly that there is a golden opportunity for<br />
our missionaries at the present time here in Tsingtao <strong>and</strong> would urge that men<br />
<strong>and</strong> women both come. Even though at this writing it would be impossible<br />
to enter our Interior stations, that opportunity may open sooner than we might<br />
expect. Even if it doesn't, Tsingtao presents a great opportunity for Christian<br />
missionaries. We have safety, food, <strong>and</strong> hordes of unsaved people. With this<br />
as a bridgehead, we will be ready to go interior whenever opportunity offers.<br />
In the meantime, our interior Christians can contact us <strong>and</strong> with our presence<br />
here, their hearts will be encouraged <strong>and</strong> the Chinese Christian church will<br />
rise up for a new day. The local churches will carry on as usual. None of<br />
them ever ceased functioning. Our Baptist people remained true.<br />

Dear Friends:<br />
We left Nanning on a little cargo boat, piled into the bottom of it all the<br />
things Dr. Wallace <strong>and</strong> his staff had been able to take with them last year<br />
They had left Wuchow just three days before the Japanese got into it last year'<br />
We put bed-springs <strong>and</strong> wooden planks on top of our baggage to make a sort<br />
of floor for the boat, spread out our straw mats <strong>and</strong> settled our little colony<br />
sardine fashion on the floor. We each one had room to stretch our full length<br />
<strong>and</strong> improvised the best we could for our mutual comforts. The West River<br />
is quite a broad <strong>and</strong> winding river. There were few rapids since the river was<br />
fuller than usual. We were towed down river by a motor boat. There was<br />
a string of five boats, I believe, attached to the motor boat. A little boat about<br />
the size of a row boat was used for our kitchen. As we passed one place<br />
where the rapids were considered dangerous the boat manager fired off fire<br />
crackers to appeal to the gods to help. Incense was burned <strong>and</strong> one day a very<br />
fine bit of a feast laid out m thanksgiving. But since it was not eaten bv the<br />
gods it was taken back to the family dining room for consumption<br />
We were four days coming down the river. On the morning of the 4th of<br />
September we got off the boat in Wuchow Such a sight as this city in its<br />
wreckage! Hardly a whole house left st<strong>and</strong>ing along the water front Our<br />
hospital suffered some, but very little in comparison with all the other 'maces<br />
round about us. Our roof is about off <strong>and</strong> that is a little inconvenient when It<br />
rains so much, but we can get along for a time since the floors are all reinforced<br />
concrete. There were far more things left here than we had expected to see<br />
though we are sadly lacking in most everything. Our operating room is about<br />
ready for use. We have tables, stool, sterilizers, etc., that Dr Wallace <strong>and</strong><br />
the nurses saved. There is a little cloth to make sheets, etc. We have SOTOP<br />
soiled gauze that has been refugeeing for a year. We need screening heroin<br />
this malarial country. Flies are very bad <strong>and</strong> rats are awful. It is hard rn<br />
know what to do for these various pests <strong>and</strong> then not be able to get the very

simplest things to prevent them. I made a fly brush (like Gr<strong>and</strong>ma used to<br />
have) out of some Japanese newspapers <strong>and</strong> have developed a fly-brush rhythm<br />
during our meal times.<br />
Dr. Wallace certainly did a fine work in keeping this gr<strong>and</strong> group of hospital<br />
personnel together.<br />
We are so thankful to be back in Wuchow even if we have come to a very<br />
badly abused building. The strength of the building proved sufficient to st<strong>and</strong><br />
the strain of bombings on the whole. There is a big part of the roof gone but<br />
no material damage below the fifth floor.<br />
Dr. Wallace has got the pump in running condition again—-that is, so that<br />
it can be pumped by h<strong>and</strong>; the electricity is off <strong>and</strong> will probably be off for<br />
several months to come. ,.11.0<br />
The city church is entirely destroyed, <strong>and</strong> the book-room about halt gone.<br />
One of the Baptist schools is in ruins, the other may be set in condition at a<br />
price. We have worship now in one of the large hospital wards. About twentyfive<br />
outside people came last Sunday, making around fifty with our hospital<br />
group.<br />
The view from the roof of the hospital is beautiful <strong>and</strong> with the mountains<br />
round about us, like they are around Jerusalem, we are reminded of the closeness<br />
of our Creator.<br />

leaders of Japan are not discouraged Their outlook for the future is one of<br />
the most invigorating things I have felt in this broken <strong>and</strong> defeated country.
242 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
If Southern Baptists ever faced an open door in foreign missions they do<br />
now in Japan. The opportunity is simply appalling. I hope that we, as Christians,<br />
will see this opportunity, stop being dilatory about the task. ... If we<br />
neglect this field when it is so ripe, so ready, so receptive, we will forever<br />
forfeit the right to ask God's blessings on any of our mission enterprises.<br />
If you have money, or influence, or life, or courage, in the name of all that<br />
is high <strong>and</strong> holy, use them today to insure a strong Southern Baptist work in<br />
Japan. There are no words to describe the urgency of the situation here. . . .<br />

SEINAN GAKUIN TODAY<br />
In an effort to learn how our mission work had withstood the shock of war<br />
I recently spent two days at our boys' school, known as Seinan Gakuin.<br />
Leaving Sasebo early one morning with my jeep loaded with gospel tracts.<br />
denominational literature, Bibles, New Testaments, clothes, soap, <strong>and</strong> a dozen<br />
other items, I drove across the isl<strong>and</strong> to Fukuoka, the largest city of Kyushu.<br />
The trip took about four hours, I arrived just before lunch.<br />
As I drove across Fukuoka there were evidences of fire everywhere. In the<br />
downtown district only the steel <strong>and</strong> concrete buildings remain. . . . Driving<br />
perhaps a mile, I came to a central downtown intersection. From here I turned<br />
west <strong>and</strong> followed a double-car track. Some two miles out I found a large<br />
sign announcing a "Youth for Christ Rally Each Saturday Night at the Baptist<br />
Christian College."<br />
Entering the College Administration Building I met Professor Taichiro Fujii,<br />
professor of English, who offered to show me about the campus so I could take
FOREIGN MISSION BOARD 243<br />
pictures. While I was securing my camera from the jeep, Professor Sadamoto<br />
Kawano, the school chaplain, also came out. He had spent two years at<br />
Southern Seminary <strong>and</strong>. one year at Oberlin College <strong>and</strong> therefore spoke<br />
excellent English. Between the two, I was well cared for.<br />
Accompanied by these two teachers I took pictures of all the buildings on<br />
the campuses of both the college <strong>and</strong> high school. The sun was shining so I<br />
worked some time. During the afternoon I attended two college classes, spoke<br />
briefly <strong>and</strong> answered questions. I also went to the Nurses' Training School<br />
<strong>and</strong> took pictures of the girls in training <strong>and</strong> some of the war orphans they are<br />
caring for.<br />
That evening, after dinner in Brother Kawano's home, president Mizumachi<br />
came over for a conference. We spent the entire evening discussing the Christian<br />
work <strong>and</strong> in genuine Christian fellowship. At eleven o'clock we reluctantly<br />
arose <strong>and</strong> went to bed.<br />
Seinan.Gakuin (Southwestern Academy) was founded in 1915 by missionary<br />
C. K. Dozier. The first year 118 students took the entrance examination, 105<br />
were admitted. Y. Mizumachi became president in 1933. By 1935 the enrollment<br />
had grown to 812 students, the faculty numbered <strong>six</strong>ty <strong>and</strong> the plant<br />
consisted of some fifteen buildings valued at $325,000.<br />
By this time eleven of the schools' Christian graduates had returned from<br />
special schools <strong>and</strong> were numbered among the faculty. Ninety-eight per cent<br />
of the students came from non-Christian homes.<br />
"How many faculty members do you have?" I asked.<br />
"In college we have twenty professors, in the high school fifty, <strong>and</strong> in the<br />
technical school fifteen. There are also ten on the administration staff. The<br />
new night classes in English, in which there are now 300 enrolled, are taught<br />
by eight of the college professors."<br />
"How did the school fare financially during the war?" I inquired.<br />
"We were self-sustaining, however the physical properties have suffered<br />
greatly from lack of repair. By limiting salaries <strong>and</strong> exercising economy we<br />
managed to stay out of the red." I was amused at the president telling me<br />
about this. He did not know quite how to express himself in English so he<br />
said, "We have not had to use the red ink" <strong>and</strong> asked me if I understood.<br />
I answered, "You mean you have stayed out of the red," he laughed <strong>and</strong> said<br />
"That's it, that's it."<br />
"I am sure the school enrollment suffered during the war years. Will you<br />
give me the figures in the last year <strong>and</strong> the present?"<br />
"Yes, the war did cause a drop in enrollment. During the war the college<br />
enrolled about 200, today it has 480. The high school enrolled about 200 during<br />
the past year <strong>and</strong> now has over 400 in attendance. Since the war has ended,<br />
night classes in English have been started. There are at present about 300<br />
additional students enrolled here."<br />
"Now tell me about your needs. What does the school need now?" This<br />
answer is a summary:<br />
"First, we have some physical needs. The whole school plant is in need<br />
of repair. The bombs broke out most of our windows. Some glass has been<br />
repaired but most windows need replacements. Because of the danger from<br />
fire bombs, the Japanese Government directed removal of all ceilings. None<br />
of these has been replaced. The science building (two stories of which are<br />
concrete the third being frame) should be completed. Most of the third floor<br />
is now ruined, due to exposure to the elements. Something like 50,000 yen<br />
($3 335) will be required to complete this building, apart from the equipment.<br />
We'think it will require about 100,000 yen ($6,670 at the present rate of<br />
exchange), to place the other buildings in good condition."<br />
"Secondly, we need missionaries. We need all the missionaries you can<br />
send us- but 'our greatest need just now, so far as the school is concerned, is<br />
for missionaries who can teach Bible, English, Music, <strong>and</strong> Science. We also<br />
need two preaching missionaries to do evangelistic work <strong>and</strong> help us establish<br />
a seminary."<br />
"Our third need is money. We need money to complete the science building<br />
<strong>and</strong> repair the others but we also need an annual sum which will enable<br />
us to raise teachers' salaries. If we open a seminary, the need for which is<br />
very great an additional 30,000 yen per year will be required. ... (I think it
244 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
well to observe that there is no Baptist seminary in Japan at present. Our<br />
Seminary combined with the Northern Baptist Seminary about <strong>six</strong> or seven<br />
years ago <strong>and</strong> this combination was completely disb<strong>and</strong>ed when all Protestants<br />
were forced into "One Church" before the war. There is therefore NO place<br />
in Japan at present where Baptist ministers can be trained.)<br />
"The fourth need we face is that of equipment. Books <strong>and</strong> laboratory<br />
equipment are the most immediate essentials. There is at present but one<br />
microscope in our laboratory."<br />
"Now that the war is over, what plans for the future do you have?" When<br />
this was asked, President Mizumachi unrolled a large blueprint of the proposed<br />
college campus. As I studied it <strong>and</strong> listened to his explanations, I was impressed<br />
with the wise planning which had been done. President Mizumachi said:<br />
"We have the l<strong>and</strong> for the new campus <strong>and</strong> hope to build on it some day,<br />
however I think the important thing at present is to repair the present buildings,<br />
complete the Science Hall, <strong>and</strong> start the Seminary."<br />
"Now that we have talked about Seinan Gakuin, suppose we discuss the<br />
general outlook for missions. Should our mission program be changed? Will<br />
American missionaries be welcomed to Japan?"<br />
"The mission program is fundamentally sound. Some minor changes may<br />
be necessary but they will come naturally. By all means send missionaries as<br />
soon as possible. The Japanese have been taught <strong>and</strong> believed they had the<br />
finest fleet, the most powerful army <strong>and</strong> the greatest nation on earth. Now we<br />
have been defeated <strong>and</strong> the illusion is shattered. Everywhere the people are<br />
asking about America. They reason, that if America defeated Japan, then<br />
the Americans have the answers. The Americans know better than we—let's<br />
find out how they do it in America. Because of this attitude almost every<br />
Japanese, especially the younger people, will listen to any American who will<br />
talk to them. Missionaries will find an open door such as they have never<br />
before seen in Japan. If a missionary could be placed in every Baptist church<br />
in Japan he could fill the building nightly, simply by announcing that Bible<br />
classes in English were being taught. Likewise a woman missionary could<br />
make <strong>hundred</strong>s of contacts if she but started classes in cooking—in English<br />
with the promise that those attending would learn how to prepare American<br />
dishes. Just now every American missionary available should be sent to. Japan.<br />
The next two years are the important ones. Tell Southern Baptists to come at<br />
once."<br />
In support of his statement that "Missionaries are going to be looked to for<br />
an interpretation of American Democracy," Professor Kawano cited the fact<br />
that within the past few days he had received two calls for just such talks<br />
One came from the man in charge of the educational program for 10 000 miners<br />
who was anxious for someone who had been to America to tell the workers<br />
about "Labor in Christian America." The other call came from the superintendent<br />
of the primary schools of Fukuoka, which schools incidentally have<br />
been the hotbed of militarism all over Japan. The superintendent asked Professor<br />
Kawano to speak to 100 primary teachers on the subject "American<br />
Democracy, Christianity, <strong>and</strong> the American Educational System" Rather a<br />
big order I would say for one address, but it is an indication of the eagerness<br />
of the Japanese to learn about the United States.<br />
"As I understood the situation, all denominations were forced to unite iust<br />
prior to the war. Will this continue or will there be a parting of the ways' 7 "<br />
"There very definitely will be a division along the regular denominational<br />
lines. One factor which is contributing greatly to the division is the presence<br />
of chaplains <strong>and</strong> service men who clearly think in terms of denominations The<br />
movement will probably not be fully developed until missionaries return It<br />
should crystallize then."<br />
"What will the psychological effect of defeat be on Christianity in Japan 9 "<br />
I asked. The answer was quite encouraging.<br />
"The defeat of Japan will have little direct effect on Christianity. It will<br />
of course, open doors heretofore closed. The eagerness of the Japanese to<br />
learn everything he can about America will extend to Christianity. The average<br />
Japanese certainly does not harbor hatred for the Americans, he does hate the<br />
militarists who led the nation in war-making. He would like to see them dealt<br />
with sternly."
FOREIGN MISSION BOARD 245<br />
After mentioning the death of his soldier son, President Mizumachi said:<br />
"I feel that he died as a part of the sacrifice we are paying for a new Japan.<br />
In the last letter I received from my son he quoted his favorite hymn. Would<br />
you like to hear it?" He began to sing <strong>and</strong>, though I did not underst<strong>and</strong> the<br />
words, I could underst<strong>and</strong> the look on the bereaved father's face. I knew we<br />
were st<strong>and</strong>ing on hallowed ground. The last stanza he sang was something<br />
like this—<br />
"With Thee (in me) the lonely isle seems,<br />
To be the heavenly home,<br />
Thanking thee for thy bounteous blessings,<br />
I receive the light everlasting."<br />
When he had finished there was a long silence <strong>and</strong> then the father again<br />
said slowly, as though he wanted all the world to hear <strong>and</strong> underst<strong>and</strong>. "We<br />
do not hate America."<br />
With this holy atmosphere permeating us all, I asked one more question.<br />
"What message do you have for Southern Baptists?" President Mizumachi<br />
thought perhaps a minute in silence <strong>and</strong> then slowly dictated four sentences.<br />
"The present miserable condition of Japan was caused by the lack of a<br />
strong Christian spirit among the Japanese people. It is time we proclaimed<br />
the high st<strong>and</strong>ard of Christian living <strong>and</strong> let all the people know what the<br />
kingdom of God really means. Nothing could give us more joy than to receive<br />
a number of qualified missionaries to work as yoke-fellows with us. We need<br />
missionaries now—I pray that Southern Baptists will send them quickly."<br />
EXPERIENCES IN JAPAN<br />
(Excerpts from a letter from Chaplain Aaron L. Rutledge)<br />
I visited Seinan Gakuin Baptist Church in Fukuoka, Jyushu, Japan, where<br />
Shuichi Ozaki has been pastor for ten years. He studied at our Seminary in<br />
Louisville. This was my first pleasant surprise, but much more was in store.<br />
They have a nice little building, splendid organ, <strong>and</strong> cushions on the pews.<br />
The membership is about 100, but attendance is small now. The pastor was<br />
drafted into the army <strong>and</strong> has just resumed his work. He also teaches in our<br />
school here.<br />
I felt as if I were on holy ground, viewing for the first time direct results<br />
of mission moneys I had helped raise.<br />
SEINAN GAKUIN<br />
Pastor Ozaki took us next-door to the Baptist high school <strong>and</strong> college—<br />
Seinan Gakuin (Southwestern School)—where approximately two thous<strong>and</strong> students<br />
are enrolled, two <strong>hundred</strong> <strong>and</strong> fifty of them at the college.<br />
We were ushered into the president's office where we met a neat, snappy<br />
young man who introduced himself as Sadamoto Kawano, chaplain of the school.<br />
I presented Chaplain Earl Sidler (Northern Baptist), <strong>and</strong> told our denomination.<br />
Kawano grabbed our h<strong>and</strong>s <strong>and</strong> shook them over again, beaming with<br />
delight. When he found I was Southern Baptist, h<strong>and</strong>shaking took place again.<br />
But when he found I was from Louisville Seminary, h<strong>and</strong>shaking did not suffice,<br />
<strong>and</strong> I found his arms planted firmly about my shoulders. He graduated at<br />
Louisville in 1937. He called the professors by name, inquiring about them <strong>and</strong><br />
about the school's progress. .<br />
We had hot tea, strong <strong>and</strong> straight, served m beautiful Japanese cups.<br />
During tea the president arrived. He is Y. Mizumachi <strong>and</strong> has served the school<br />
for twenty years. Eighteen years ago he studied at the Louisville Seminary<br />
for eight months. Their gift to the guest was a gorgeous white tea cup,<br />
decorated with blue Japanese characters which, we were informed, were phrases<br />
from their Alma Mater. . ,<br />
The students begin here at about fifteen years of age (or high school), <strong>and</strong><br />
may continue through college. Formerly there was a theological seminary, but<br />
now Bible courses are offered in the College. Some Bible study is required of<br />
everyone. Ument shows the high st<strong>and</strong>ing of the school, as students<br />
pay tuition to attend here rather than public schools. About ten per cent of<br />
the students are Christian, <strong>and</strong> fifty of the.one <strong>hundred</strong> teachers are Christian.<br />
We were invited to attend chapel exercises, which are held daily. Entering<br />
the auditorium'with the faculty, we found the student body seated. Someone
246 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
called, "Hut!" <strong>and</strong> as one man they stood at attention. The president bowed;<br />
they bowed; he mounted the platform; more bowing. They were seated, <strong>and</strong><br />
the professor who had charge of the exercises took over. He announced a<br />
hymn. St<strong>and</strong>ing there with more than two <strong>hundred</strong> young men of the yellow<br />
race, we sang all stanzas of that gr<strong>and</strong> old hymn of praise, "Holy, Holy, Holy"—<br />
in two tongues, but really one language. The singing was marvelous, <strong>and</strong> I<br />
spent half the time listening, rather than singing. The tempo was just right,<br />
perfect tempo <strong>and</strong> harmony.<br />
After the prayer the professor gave a talk which held the attention of al]<br />
present. Then Kawano introduced the guests to much clapping <strong>and</strong> bowing in<br />
true Japanese style.<br />
INTEREST IN ENGLISH<br />
Japanese youth seem to have one burning desire: to learn the English<br />
language. Most English studies were abolished during the war. The school<br />
is teaching many English courses now. Afternoon classes in English Bible are<br />
being held, aided by American soldiers. We are furnishing English Testaments.<br />
Night classes are attended by two <strong>hundred</strong> <strong>and</strong> fifty people. Three days a<br />
week the teachers <strong>and</strong> older students meet to study English literature <strong>and</strong><br />
language, so as to be able to teach others. In their classroom I observed their<br />
methodology. On the board were English words. Guess what! "Jesus loves<br />
me, this I know."<br />
Pastor Ozaki is planning a Sunday afternoon service, inviting me to speak,<br />
in English (of course), <strong>and</strong> he will translate.<br />

BAPTIST NURSES' SCHOOL<br />
Our next trip took us to a Baptist school where <strong>six</strong>ty to eighty girls of<br />
eighteen <strong>and</strong> over are training as nurses. The principal, a Japanese lady<br />
trained in the States, was away attending a meeting of educators in the city.<br />
Our interpreter told the girls who we were, <strong>and</strong> they invited us in. Just inside<br />
the door we took off our combat boots <strong>and</strong> stuck our toes into rubber s<strong>and</strong>als<br />
(not big enough for U. S. feet).
FOREIGN MISSION BOARD 247<br />
After seeing the dining room, classrooms, "chucking" the chins of Japanese<br />
war-orphan babies who were being cared for, we gathered about a piano. None<br />
of the girls spoke English, but we endeavored to find the musician. Each girl<br />
in turn pointed to another. Finally one of the older girls confessed, <strong>and</strong> I<br />
picked Mendelssohn's "Rondo Capriccio." It was difficult, especially for her<br />
short chubby fingers, but she did well. We listened <strong>and</strong> smiled our approval,<br />
which embarrassed her so much she ceased playing <strong>and</strong> ran back into the group<br />
of girls. They were all a-giggle like any girls, but especially Japanese girls.<br />
SEINAN IO GAKUIN<br />
Next on the agenda is Seinan Jo Gakuin (Jo means girl) which is the Baptist<br />
high school for girls in Kokura, north of here. From 1913 until its founding<br />
in 1922, this school was a vision in the heart of Mrs. J. H. Rowe, its first<br />
president. (W.M.U. members, check on your Lottie Moon Offerings for this<br />
school.)<br />
The first enrollment was ninety-<strong>six</strong>, <strong>and</strong> by 1935 when the Rowe Memorial<br />
Auditorium was dedicated (Dr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Charles E. Maddry <strong>and</strong> Dr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs.<br />
Weatherspoon present), it had reached 543. Our missionaries left here just<br />
prior to the war, I believe.<br />
This is one of the very highest type schools in Japan. The buildings are<br />
among the best, though probably inadequate now. They were used by Japanese<br />
troops during the war, but classes were continued elsewhere. The school again<br />
has custody of the buildings <strong>and</strong> is carrying on nobly with an enrollment of<br />
about 500 girls. The president, Mr. Matsuta Hara, a graduate of Oberlin<br />
College, took office in 1934 when Mrs. Rowe retired because of ill health.<br />
TRIBUTE TO COURAGE<br />
Since the war began, these bodies have had no contact with the Southern<br />
Baptist Convention. The present status of the schools is a glowing tribute to<br />
the persistent faith of these, our brothers in Christ. Yes, a living memorial to<br />
McCollum <strong>and</strong> Brunson, our first missionaries here in 1889; to the Rowes; the<br />
Doziers; Naomi Schell, <strong>and</strong> all who labored so unselfishly here. Faithful is the<br />
divine promise: "My word shall not return unto me void."<br />

ITALY<br />
The year 1870 was an eventful one for both Italy <strong>and</strong> Southern Baptists.<br />
It was at that time that the temporal power of the Pope ended, <strong>and</strong> it was<br />
then that our Board sent its first representative to Europe.<br />
While Dr. W. N. Cote preceded him, Dr. George Boardman Taylor was the<br />
real founder of the Italian Mission. He labored in the l<strong>and</strong> of his adoption<br />
thirty-four years, longer than any other missionaries except his own son-in-law<br />
<strong>and</strong> daughter—Dr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. D. G. Whittinghill.<br />
The results of the efforts of this evangelical group have not been spectacular,<br />
but the passing years have witnessed steady growth. During the period of<br />
the Second World War, there was a veritable upswell which manifested itself :•<br />
in spiritual fervor <strong>and</strong> in the spirit of self-support.<br />
At the present time the Baptist membership numbers about 4,500. It-is<br />
probable that several thous<strong>and</strong> others are sympathetic with our principles.<br />
There are twenty-seven active pastors. Some pastors have died during the<br />
war years, <strong>and</strong> others have grown old in the service. There are several excellent<br />
young men who are preparing for the full work of the gospel ministry.<br />
The G. B. Taylor Orphanage is a worthy memorial to the late founder of<br />
the Mission. This institution occupies a beautiful spot about seven miles from<br />
the heart of the "Eternal City." Twenty-<strong>six</strong> boys are cared for in this wellordered<br />
household.
248 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
It is hoped that the Seminary can be re-opened in the fall of 1947. For<br />
that work we shall need two new couples.<br />
The Baptists of Italy are blessed with excellent national Christian leadership.<br />
It would be hard to find in any l<strong>and</strong> a more devoted <strong>and</strong> forward-looking<br />
group of pastors.<br />
On all h<strong>and</strong>s words of appreciation of Southern Baptists are heard in Italy.<br />
Time <strong>and</strong> again persons expressed their thanks for the food <strong>and</strong> clothing their<br />
American friends had sent. This generosity must be continued until our<br />
Italian friends dig themselves out of their ruins.<br />
HUNGARY<br />
Such messages as these have come from Hungary: "Lost all belongings in<br />
Baptist Seminary. Please send help."—Dr. Grimm<br />
"A great shell hit the seminary building, which ruined our apartments <strong>and</strong><br />
killed four people, who were at that time in our home. Gladys (Mrs. Udvarnoki)<br />
died instantly. Beluska, our older son, escaped with a slight wound,j Eugene<br />
<strong>and</strong> myself were not in the apartments. There is more sad news to write. We<br />
had a little girl, Marianna, born on May 4, 1944. Since Gladys went home, the<br />
baby had to be separated from breast feeding. During the siege of Budapest<br />
we had to stay in the basement seven weeks, <strong>and</strong> we could not feed the baby<br />
properly. The baby weakened, <strong>and</strong> she got diarrhea <strong>and</strong> a few weeks later<br />
whooping cough. In spite of all medical treatment she died, March 25.<br />
"The seminary building is damaged beyond repair. My home was completely<br />
ruined, <strong>and</strong> I lost all my furniture <strong>and</strong> belongings except those which I could<br />
dig out from the ruined walls."—Dr. Bela Udvarnoki<br />
Our Board responded at the earliest possible moment by sending $10,000<br />
to our Hungarian brethren. The following paragraphs are indicative of their<br />
appreciation:<br />
"We assure you that this sum of money helped the cause of the Lord considerably.<br />
The work of the Seminary can be continued, poverty-stricken pastors<br />

RUMANIA<br />
Baptists in Rumania are still having a hard time. They were recognized<br />
by the government in the fall of 1944, but they are not accorded the same<br />
treatment as are the so-called "historic cults." The latest information is that<br />
"The Rumanian Orthodox Church considers the Baptist cult as a danger to<br />
their future. . . . The Orthodox Church knows that in the measure the Baptists<br />
<strong>and</strong> other evangelical groups will develop here, in the same measure their<br />
church will die. They know that they cannot fight against the Baptists' simple<br />
<strong>and</strong> right principles—in an honest way. Therefore, they try to show up the<br />
Baptist work in Rumania from a political point of view."<br />
The evidence is that the Rumanian Orthodox Church is courting the favor<br />
of the Russian Orthodox Church, in an effort to impress the Soviet leaders with<br />
their friendship. At the same time the Baptists are accused of being friends<br />
<strong>and</strong> informers of the United States <strong>and</strong> Great Britain to whom they are related.<br />
Last fall there was a meeting in Arad of representatives of all the Baptist<br />
churches of Rumania. More than five <strong>hundred</strong> delegates attended, <strong>and</strong> at the<br />
closing session 3,500 persons were present.

to our Baptist membership. In some portions of the country revival fires are<br />
burning brightly.<br />

SPAIN<br />
The progress of Baptist work in Spain is unusually encouraging. Since 1939<br />
more than five <strong>hundred</strong> persons have joined our fourteen Baptist churches.<br />
Many of the churches which had been closed by official edict are now open.<br />
Mrs. Bengtson wrote on January 7: "The work is going on m all the churches<br />
<strong>and</strong> especially in Valencia the chapel is crowded every Sunday. There are<br />
also conversions continually."<br />

During the past year some remarkable changes have taken place m our work.<br />

enthusiasm of theleopk was overwhelming. The old Christians could not join<br />
fn the SSg, because they were crying for joy, <strong>and</strong> their hearts were overflowing<br />
with thankfulness to God.<br />
Early in December there was a baptismal service in Valencia when ten<br />
persons joined the church, <strong>and</strong> the house was crowded to capacity. The follow-
250 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
ing Sunday ten persons of all ages rose at the afternoon service <strong>and</strong> confessed<br />
Christ as their Saviour. When I visited that church last autumn, I was told<br />
that the newcomers kept asking for "something to read," <strong>and</strong> I was very happy<br />
to be able to help them out on that point. During those very difficult years,<br />
the Valencia church seemed rather to be dying, but now it is reviving in a<br />
wonderful way. ' .-.y<br />
In hearly all the churches there are conversions continually. During my<br />
thirty-four years in this country I have not seen such a movement as this. In<br />
1945 eighty-four persons united with our churches through baptism. (This<br />
report does not include the work of Pastor Samuel Vila.)<br />
In Madrid the hall has been enlarged <strong>and</strong> repainted, <strong>and</strong> it looks quite<br />
beautiful. At present it has seats for about three <strong>hundred</strong> persons, all of<br />
which are occupied on Sundays, <strong>and</strong> on special occasions about two <strong>hundred</strong><br />
have to st<strong>and</strong>. Arrangement is being made now for putting in more seats.<br />
Three of the churches are without a hall, <strong>and</strong> that is a big drawback in<br />
the work. In one place the partitions in a private home have been pulled<br />
down, <strong>and</strong> thus one <strong>hundred</strong> <strong>and</strong> fifty persons can be seated. In three places<br />
the brethren are very enthusiastic about having their own building, but the<br />
tremendous cost of everything just now makes such an undertaking impossible<br />
at present.<br />
On December 20, one of our oldest pastors was called to his heavenly home.<br />
This means that three of our churches are now without pastor. This man was<br />
a very earnest Christian <strong>and</strong> a true Baptist; his influence will be greatly missed<br />
among us. Naturally, we need at least three new pastors to be able to attend<br />
to the most pressing needs. Then, there are quite a number of groups of<br />
believers who get very little help <strong>and</strong> attention because of lack of teachers.<br />
There are some young men in the churches, willing <strong>and</strong> eager to work, but<br />
they need guidance <strong>and</strong> help in order to study <strong>and</strong> to develop their abilities.<br />
Especially for this work we are praying <strong>and</strong> hoping that a new missionary will<br />
come to us as soon as possible. The work does look so promising now but,<br />
surely, the laborers are far too few.<br />
The cost of everything is rising continually. Just now we have to pay<br />
higher house-rent, higher postage, <strong>and</strong> travel cost about double as much as it<br />
used to. Some of the pastors are able to do some work along with their<br />
pastoral duties; <strong>and</strong> thus get some extra income of which they have real need.<br />
These problems need attention <strong>and</strong>, sooner or later, must be solved.<br />
Still, we are very thankful to the Southern Baptists for their untiring love<br />
<strong>and</strong> patience <strong>and</strong> material help during those trying years when so little could<br />
be done here.<br />
It now looks as if harvest-time were due. We ask our Southern Baptist<br />
friends to unite with us in praying that God will send to us the help we so<br />
greatly need—the missionaries who shall lead us as we tread the only pathway<br />
that leads to permanent peace in individual hearts <strong>and</strong> among nations.<br />
SPAIN AT THE CROSS-ROAD<br />
SAMUEL VILA*<br />
Teach them the good way wherein they should walk.—1 Kings 8:36<br />
For Spanish Baptists, the year 1945 has been a crucial one, for in that<br />
year we have received that for which we had been longing <strong>and</strong> praying ever<br />
since our civil war. All our chapels have been reopened <strong>and</strong> no more hindrances<br />
are opposing our public worship. We are sure that the victory of the united<br />
nations has been the main factor that led our Government to that position.<br />
We have been allowed also to publish a printed bulletin. Up to this time all<br />
our publications were made by cyclostyle.<br />
This has been also our best year in the number of baptisms. Even those<br />
churches which had not observed the ordinance of baptism since the war, have<br />
been blessed with new conversions, <strong>and</strong> the number of baptisms in the whole<br />
mission this past year has been about one <strong>hundred</strong> <strong>and</strong> fifty.<br />

FOREIGN MISSION BOARD 251<br />
Last September we had the joy to inaugurate [dedicate] the church building<br />
which our brethren in Villafranca had been raising quietly in a closed ground<br />
• all during the trial years. The construction has been performed with no other<br />
financial help but a very small loan of the Spanish Baptist Convention covering<br />
just one-tenth of the whole cost.<br />
In November, our brethren in Albacete received word from the authorities<br />
that all their furniture—seats, harmonium <strong>and</strong> other properties—which had<br />
been transferred to Catholic churches were restituted [restored] to them. The<br />
Lord granted to the pastor of this church, Rev. Francisco Pais, to see the<br />
promise realized, but not to enjoy it long, for he was called to heaven just<br />
a month after the reopening. The work is being carried on courageously by<br />
the nearest Baptist pastors, Brethren Fern<strong>and</strong>ez from Madrid, Beltran from<br />
Alicante, <strong>and</strong> Frances from Valencia. Although each one of them must travel<br />
about 200 miles to attend services there, it pays for them to do so, because in<br />
a few weeks of this visiting ministry seventeen souls have been led to Christ.<br />
With the encouraging precedent in Albacete, we are now hopeful about<br />
regaining the church furniture in other places as Alicante <strong>and</strong> Barcelona.<br />
The church in Barcelona has passed through a hard time. They have seen<br />
how all the other evangelical churches who lost their freedom of worship during<br />
the past years of trial were able once again to meet in their spiritual homes.<br />
But all the members proved loyal to the church <strong>and</strong> to Baptist principles, no<br />
one deserting to more privileged churches, but all preferring to continue to<br />
meet in private homes, for several months if necessary.<br />
Lately Christian fellowship has been fairly brought forth by the invitation<br />
of other churches to use their chapels. Although this obliges our members to<br />
worship at a very inconvenient time, late in the night, when other services are<br />
finished, they do so with a cheerful heart.<br />
In the meantime a friend is erecting a new building with the purpose of<br />
renting it to the church. We hope to be able to inaugurate it by next April<br />
(1946). Baptists of all churches throughout Catalonia are preparing representations<br />
<strong>and</strong> choirs to be sent to Barcelona for the great occasion.<br />
We also hope to be able to inaugurate our new chapel building in Alicante,<br />
on the ground purchased there two years ago. Several Baptist friends are<br />
bringing their small savings as loans to help on it. I am ready for a journey<br />
all through Spain in behalf of the Spanish Baptist Convention.<br />
We are anxiously waiting for the visit of Dr. Sadler* to reorganize the<br />
work, becauseSpain is one of the fields of which can be said, with the-greatest<br />
propriety, the Master's words: "The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers<br />
are few; pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth<br />
laborers into his harvest." Indeed from fourteen native pastors <strong>and</strong> two<br />
missionary couples who worked in Spain in 1930, we have now been reduced<br />
to <strong>six</strong> pastors <strong>and</strong> one lady missionary. Yet the membership has increased,<br />
<strong>and</strong> the average attendance of non-converts at religious services is three times<br />
larger than at that time. In no way can the widespread opportunities for<br />
work be met by the present workers <strong>and</strong> means.<br />
We have not had a full report since 1935. At that time the number of<br />
Spanish Baptists slightly surpassed one thous<strong>and</strong>. Hard losses were experienced<br />
during the Spanish war. For example, our church in Madrid lost half of its<br />
membership, chiefly young men killed at the fronts of war. But we have not<br />
only recovered our old position, but the whole number of our members surpasses<br />
nearly in a fourth part the highest number we reached before the war.<br />
It is a great motive of thanking God to see that in five years of difficulties, of<br />
which you cannot have a full idea, more than 500 souls have been won for<br />
Christ in our country. You see that the number of those baptized in 1944 <strong>and</strong><br />
the early months of 1945 is double to those recorded in the previous years.<br />
Another cause of encouragement is to observe that the average number of<br />
people attending the main Sunday services greatly surpasses the membership<br />
of the churches. This gives us an expectation of new conversions m the future.<br />

brother Nogal. He writes:<br />
"Last Sunday, August 26, we opened the doors of our chapel after 6 years<br />
<strong>and</strong> 26 days of being closed. Wonderful day! The chapel full up with people.<br />
The neighborhood wondered looking out through windows <strong>and</strong> galleries, when<br />
the music of hymns broke out in the air. At the previous prayer-thanksgiving<br />
service, many were unable to continuate because tears of joy <strong>and</strong> deep emotion<br />
sprang out aboundantly from their eyes. Little by little we recovered from<br />
our emotion <strong>and</strong> were able to give the message based on Psalm 84; 1-2 <strong>and</strong><br />
Esdras 3; 12-13. Please remember us in your prayers. We hope be able to<br />
continuate."<br />

Our work in the Near East sustained an irreparable loss this year when<br />
J. Henry Hagood was taken by death. His future was an unusually promising<br />
one. Our hope is that some outst<strong>and</strong>ing young man will volunteer for the post<br />
which Henry Hagood was preparing to fill. Mrs. Hagood with her little son is<br />
bravely remaining at the task to which she <strong>and</strong> Mr. Hagood had dedicated<br />
their lives.<br />
We have on the field, at the moment, a staff of seven missionaries.<br />
Miss Kate Ellen Gruver <strong>and</strong> Mrs. J. H. Hagood have located in the Baptist<br />
mission headquarters in Nazareth. There, along with their evangelistic work,<br />
they have undertaken the establishing of an orphanage. In March they had<br />
<strong>six</strong> little children under their care <strong>and</strong> three more were to be admitted in the<br />
near future. Under present h<strong>and</strong>icaps—the lack of space <strong>and</strong> funds <strong>and</strong><br />
workers—they are compelled to limit to twelve the number of little waifs to<br />
whom they can give shelter <strong>and</strong> care <strong>and</strong> Christian training. In this fact lies<br />
a challenge to Southern Baptists.<br />
In Jerusalem, Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. R. L. Lindsey <strong>and</strong> Miss Violet Long, while<br />
busily studying the language, are making friendly contacts <strong>and</strong> laying foundations<br />

in Jerusalem, in order to make a more intensive study of the language before<br />
resuming their work in needy Beirut.<br />

Nigeria's Need of the Prince of Peace<br />
H. P. McCORMICK<br />
Preaching good tidings of peace by Jesus Christ.—Acts 10:36<br />
The year 1945 has witnessed many changes in the Baptist Mission in<br />
Nigeria. Many of these changes have been progressive in nature. Our staff of<br />
trained African workers has grown in numbers <strong>and</strong> in experience. Our churches<br />
<strong>and</strong> associations are becoming more alive to the missionary spirit. There is a<br />
growing desire to plan <strong>and</strong> support work outside of Nigeria, particularly on<br />
the Gold Coast, as well as among some unevangelized tribes here at home<br />
This movement should result in a Home Mission Board. The trend toward<br />
education for the masses, along with a growing dem<strong>and</strong> for higher education<br />
threatens to unbalance our work by placing the emphasis too much upon<br />
secular education. Plans are being madp for higher education to be given
FOREIGN MISSION BOARD 253<br />
in a home environment which should tend to preserve African culture <strong>and</strong><br />
the inherent religious tendencies.<br />
Our staff has grown by the addition of several married couples, Rev. <strong>and</strong><br />
Mrs. (Dr.) J. W. H. Richardson, Jr., Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. C. F. Eaglesfield, Dr. <strong>and</strong><br />
Mrs. W. J. Williams, Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Ray P. Ingram, Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. R. L. West,<br />
Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. J. S. McGee, Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. C. F. Roberson, <strong>and</strong> four single women,<br />
Misses Annie Rines, Rees Watkins, Frances Hammett, <strong>and</strong> Ada Lois Newman.<br />
Miss Ruby Daniel, one of the missionaries to Hungary, is spending a year with<br />
us, helping to relieve the shortage of staff.<br />
During the year, <strong>six</strong> members of our small staff were invalided home. The<br />
burden of overwork is costly, but war conditions, over which we have no control,<br />
have h<strong>and</strong>icapped missions. The time has come when specially trained people<br />
for special tasks should be sent to mission fields. Specialization has reached<br />
us only a generation after making itself felt in America. The mission field is<br />
an expensive school in which to train our recruits. Our seminaries <strong>and</strong> medical<br />
schools in America train men <strong>and</strong> women for evangelistic <strong>and</strong> medical work;<br />
educationists should -be found in our teachers' colleges, so that they will not<br />
have to serve an apprenticeship here.<br />
Our well-rounded mission program includes medical <strong>and</strong> educational work.<br />
These are necessary adjuncts to our main program of evangelism, <strong>and</strong> it is<br />
difficult to tell just where one ends <strong>and</strong> the other begins. Almost every<br />
organized church has a school, <strong>and</strong> perhaps our greatest opportunity for evangelistic<br />
work is in these schools <strong>and</strong> in our dispensaries.<br />
EVANGELISTIC WORK<br />
It is very difficult to measure this phase of our work in Nigeria. The African<br />
is a traveller <strong>and</strong> trader, <strong>and</strong> he is also a great church-joiner, often being<br />
reported as a member in two or more churches. This makes our statistics a<br />
bit misleading. The Mission realizes that the native of the country must be<br />
the prime factor in evangelism. The extent of his collective effort may be<br />
determined by the report of the Nigerian Baptist Convention. A great percentage<br />
of our Christians are winning their fellowmen to Christ. The great<br />
difference between the Christian <strong>and</strong> the heathen is noticeable in many ways as<br />
in his outlook on life, his dress, his home, his children, his health, <strong>and</strong> his<br />
education. These things tfcnd to make Christianity popular, which in many<br />
instances may not be conducive to earnest Christian living. However, the<br />
average Christian is an evangelist.<br />
During the year 1945, our work was hindered, so far-asi the war was concerned,<br />
by the difficulties experienced in travel on the local field, as well as to <strong>and</strong><br />

of<br />
Nigeria
254 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
from America. Supervision was difficult, due to shortage of staff, nevertheless<br />
the churches continued to grow both in numbers <strong>and</strong> membership.<br />
There has been a new movement in Northern Nigeria toward evangelizing<br />
the local tribes. Our Baptist constituency in that area is almost entirely made<br />
up of transients from other tribes. The churches have set themselves to a<br />
program of evangelism <strong>and</strong> have built a number of places of worship, <strong>and</strong><br />
furnished evangelists from among themselves. The results have been gratifying,<br />
especially in the Plateau Province where considerable numbers of the local<br />
people have become Christians. One association in the Oyo Province has set<br />
itself the task of evangelizing the Ibarabas, a neighboring tribe, whose language<br />
has not yet. been reduced to writing. Our Nigerian Baptist Convention is making<br />
plans to start work on the Gold Coast, a neighboring protectorate. The evidences<br />
of awakened interest in the spiritual welfare of others is a sign we have<br />
been looking for during the past ten years. The next immediate step should<br />
be the formation of a Home Mission Board. One <strong>hundred</strong> <strong>and</strong> eighty-eight of<br />
our churches reporting to the Nigerian Baptist Convention give a total membership<br />
of 12,583; the churches not reporting have an estimated membership of<br />
2,500; making a total of about 15,000. The same churches reported 1,480<br />
baptisms, a gain of 11.76% of the total membership. This shows that it takes<br />
an average of 8.5 Baptists in Nigeria to gain one member. If our statistics<br />
were more reliable, we feel that this number would probably be reduced to<br />
slightly over half that percentage.<br />
Before the steady advance of the forces of Christianity, idol worship is<br />
breaking down. One can hardly find a good-sized village or town in the<br />
southern provinces where there is not a meeting place for Christians to worship.<br />
After an African becomes a Christian, he must be trained to live up to the<br />
ideals of Christianity; his spiritual life must be strengthened, <strong>and</strong> worthy<br />
st<strong>and</strong>ards of health <strong>and</strong> sanitation must be created. These, with many other<br />
ideas must be changed, <strong>and</strong> this changing process gives rise to the need for<br />
Christian schools.<br />
EDUCATION<br />
There is no compulsory, state-supported, schooj system in Nigeria. The<br />
Government establishes <strong>and</strong> maintains very few schools. As a result, the<br />
churches organize <strong>and</strong> support schools for the children of the Christians <strong>and</strong><br />
others in the villages. These schools are an added burden to the church, but<br />
this burden may be a blessing in disguise. The church becomes the mother of<br />
the school, <strong>and</strong> as a result religious training occupies a dominant position in the<br />
course of study. Study of the Bible is compulsory. There is a greater dem<strong>and</strong><br />
for trained Christian teachers than we are now able to fill. In most instances,<br />
the pastor is the manager of the school, <strong>and</strong> his board of trustees is made up<br />
of prominent members of the church. In our day schools there are great<br />
numbers of children from heathen homes. Hence these children, taught by<br />
our Baptist teachers under the direction of our pastors, become a very fertile<br />
field for evangelism. Each year several <strong>hundred</strong> of the pupils become Christians.<br />
In Iwo, a town with a large percentage of Mohammedans, there are<br />
<strong>forty</strong> children from these homes in the enquirers' class of one of our Baptist<br />
schools. Last year more than twenty-five such enquirers became Christians in<br />
this same school. The schools become main avenues of approach to the<br />
Mohammedans.<br />
The training of teachers is a very important phase of our educational work.<br />
Young women are trained in the Normal Department of the Baptist Girls'<br />
School, Abeokuta. This School is staffed by Misses May Perry, SuSan Anderson,<br />
Mary Elizabeth Truly, Willie Kate Baldwin, <strong>and</strong> Ada Lois Newman. This staff<br />
is barely sufficient to carry on. Three additional missionaries are urgently<br />
needed to insure continuity of work. From this one school have come <strong>hundred</strong>s<br />
of Christian young women who are today leaders in our church life, <strong>and</strong> who<br />
have helped their husb<strong>and</strong>s establish Christian homes which have become<br />
examples for others throughout the length <strong>and</strong> breadth of the country.<br />
Our girls' school at Shaki, known as the Elam Memorial School, has been<br />

Some of the building for a third girls' school is at present under construction<br />
in the town of Agbor. This school, we hope, will serve the needs of the Niger<br />
Delta.<br />
The Teachers' College, located at Iwo, prepares our young men for the<br />
teaching profession. They become the leaders in our schools <strong>and</strong> communities.<br />
We are trying to develop spiritual leaders, as well as educational leaders. The<br />
Bible is a textbook in our school. In the college church, our boys are trained<br />
in the Training Union, the Sunday school, <strong>and</strong> the church business meetings,<br />
besides acting as deacons, treasurer, <strong>and</strong> clerk. After four years of training,<br />
these young men are distributed throughout the various sections of Nigeria.<br />
They teach in the schools, work in the churches, <strong>and</strong> thus become a part of<br />
our organization. Some of these teachers hear a call to the ministry, <strong>and</strong><br />
go to our Seminary for three years of training, after which they are sent back<br />
to the churches as pastors. Thus we have a complete cycle of training in<br />
service which we hope will meet the growing dem<strong>and</strong> of the churches for trained<br />
pastors.<br />
We have begun taking into the College a group of boys who wish to enter<br />
the ministry without assuming the obligation to teach for a minimum of five<br />
years. There are four such boys in the new class this year. As soon as the<br />
building program, at present under way, is complete, we shall take in a full<br />
class of these ministerial students.<br />
The Nigerian is becoming politically conscious <strong>and</strong> articulate. There is a<br />
desire for a larger share in the management of the affairs of State. The Christian<br />
church has an opportunity to make an outst<strong>and</strong>ing contribution toward<br />
good government <strong>and</strong> lasting peace by giving its youth a thorough training<br />
which is founded upon the principles taught-by Christ. Nearly all of the leaders<br />
in the political life of the country are products of the Christian schools.<br />
THE WOMAN'S MISSIONARY UNION<br />
This organization has done, <strong>and</strong> is still doing an outst<strong>and</strong>ing piece of work<br />
in Nigeria. Miss Neale C. Young has carried the burden alone until last year,<br />
when Miss Ada Jackson joined her. This work is well organized. There are<br />
many district workers selected from women who were formerly students in the<br />
Girls' School at Abeokuta. They have, in many instances, come up through<br />
the ranks from Sunbeams through Girls' Auxiliaries <strong>and</strong> Young Woman's<br />
Auxiliaries, thus they have a thorough knowledge of all phases of the work<br />
they supervise. Last year the Woman's Missionary Union operated upon a<br />
budget twice as large as that of the Nigerian Baptist Convention of which it<br />
is an auxiliary.<br />
The Woman's Missionary Union property at Ede was occupied by the army<br />
during 1942 <strong>and</strong> 1943. As soon as it was returned to the Mission, plans were<br />
set in motion to enlarge its usefulness. The first girls' auxiliary camp was<br />
held. The girls attending this camp went back to their homes with a keener<br />
sense of loyalty to the organization than they had known before. The spiritual<br />
uplift received by these young women, from their contact with their leaders,<br />
will carry on <strong>and</strong> be shared by others. Plans are under way for securing<br />
additional l<strong>and</strong> in order that the camping facilities may be enlarged so as to<br />
accommodate the larger number of girls <strong>and</strong> women who will wish to attend.<br />
Another dwelling house is planned, <strong>and</strong> it is hoped that some day in the near<br />
future, the work of Royal Ambassadors will be added.<br />
The Woman's Missionary Union was responsible for the training of Rev.<br />
<strong>and</strong> Mrs. Ayorinde in America. These young people have returned to Nigeria<br />
<strong>and</strong> are taking up the task of leading one of the churches in the lar,ge town of<br />
Abeokuta. In this way the Union has taken the lead in giving higher training<br />
to native Africans, thus enabling them to assume a larger share of responsibility<br />
in our denominational life.<br />
SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK<br />
This continues to grow in importance. Teaching the word of God in our<br />
churches has given ample proof of its power during the past year. Miss Ethel<br />
Harmon, with the help of two African assistants, has conducted <strong>six</strong>ty-one Bible<br />
schools with a total enrollment of more than 14,000. These schools are modeled<br />
somewhat after the daily vacation Bible school, but are not confined to children.<br />
Classes are held in the afternoon. The teachers from the day schools assist by

teaching classes. There have been 1,636 professions of faith, <strong>and</strong> many have<br />
reconsecrated their lives as a result of the teaching of the word. Some of the<br />
most gratifying results have been obtained in our leper colonies. These unfortunates<br />
are very responsive to any efforts made to serve them spiritually.<br />
Our pastors are being taught to follow up this work by training these newlywon<br />
converts for church membership. The Sunday schools are reorganized <strong>and</strong><br />
rejuvenated.<br />
Sunday school lessons, both in English <strong>and</strong> in Yoruba, have been printed<br />
locally <strong>and</strong> distributed to the churches. Some of our Sunday school studycourse<br />
books are being translated into Yoruba, in order that the proper emphasis<br />
may be placed upon training teachers. The Sunday School Board at Nashville<br />
has helped considerably by allowing us to reprint portions of the lessons both<br />
in English <strong>and</strong> Yoruba. Dr. Moore's Points for Emphasis is becoming very<br />
popular among the teachers. We need trained, district workers to supplement<br />
the present staff, in order that our Sunday schools may function properly.<br />
There is a serious shortage of Bibles, especially of those printed in the vernacular.<br />
This h<strong>and</strong>icap should disappear by the end of the present calendar year,<br />
as paper becomes available in Europe.<br />
Plans are under way for the establishment of a publishing plant in the l<br />
town of Ibadan. We have secured a plot of ground suitable for this type of<br />
work, <strong>and</strong> should be able to start building operations during the coming dry<br />
season. With the rapid increase in the number of literate people, we should<br />
be able, as never before, to serve our constituency during the next decade<br />
through the medium of the printed page. One of our immediate tasks is to<br />
provide suitable reading material for our Christians. At present the only<br />
reading matter available to most of our Baptists in Nigeria is the local newspaper.<br />
A central book shop with several branch shops is badly needed in connection<br />
with our publishing plant.<br />
MEDICAL WORK<br />
This important phase of our work was initiated in this country with the<br />
coming of Dr. George Green in the first decade of the present century. The<br />
Hospital, with dispensaries in nine towns <strong>and</strong> villages, continues to minister to<br />
multitudes of people who have no medical service other than the local medicine<br />
man. A maternity welfare center has been opened in a very needy area. We<br />
are beginning to see the necessity of spreading the benefits of our medical<br />
service out into the towns <strong>and</strong> villages. We realize that it is impractical to<br />
locate doctors in small towns <strong>and</strong> villages; but, by opening dispensaries with<br />
missionary nurses in charge, the benefits of medical service can be extended to<br />
areas untouched heretofore. Our doctor pays periodic visits to these dispensaries,<br />
giving advice to the nurses, <strong>and</strong> performing such services as they<br />
are unable to render. An attempt is being made to enable some of the schools<br />
to furnish dressing service to the children. Trained workers are provided,<br />
usually one of the school staff, for this form of limited medical service. The<br />
dispensaries are reaching thous<strong>and</strong>s of people with the gospel. Great numbers<br />
of the patients would not go to church or street preaching, <strong>and</strong> so hear the<br />
gospel story for the first time while sitting in the small chapel of a dispensary<br />
or in the hospital chapel.<br />
Last year 102,983 patients passed through the outpatient department of the<br />
hospital <strong>and</strong> the dispensaries; 9,395 cases were treated; <strong>and</strong> 1,255 were admitted<br />
as inpatients. One can see from the following table those who benefit from our<br />
medical service, <strong>and</strong> the opportunity for evangelism which is ours among the<br />

THE HOME FOR MOTHERLESS BABIES<br />
In this institution Miss Ruth Kersey is attempting to save from almost<br />
certain death some of the great number of orphans within our territory. In<br />
a country where the rate of infant mortality is shockingly high, the lot of the<br />
orphaned child is too sad to relate. The number of children in the home<br />
averaged <strong>forty</strong>-<strong>six</strong> throughout the year. Many children are returned to their<br />
people, after being nursed through the most critical period, with a good chance<br />
of living a life of usefulness. There is no other agency doing such work outside<br />
of the Christian church. This fact makes a strong impression upon the unevangelized<br />
African. The Woman's Missionary Union of Virginia has supported<br />
this work from its beginning. The Nigerian Woman's Missionary Union also<br />
makes contributions to the home annually.<br />
AMONG THE LEPERS<br />
Our work with the lepers has been very encouraging during the year. We<br />
have one colony <strong>and</strong> eight clan settlements, with a total population of 932.<br />
Forty-four of the patients were given discharge certificates. The number of<br />
those discharged would have been much larger, but for the fact that several<br />
of the settlements are new ones.<br />
In the settlements, the people who are elsewhere regarded as outcasts are<br />
on an equal footing. They raise their own food <strong>and</strong> govern themselves. In<br />
the church, attendance is voluntary, but in many cases it is almost one <strong>hundred</strong><br />
per cent. Very few pass through the settlements without becoming Christian.<br />
Recently a man <strong>and</strong> his wife, who had just received their discharge certificates<br />
from one of the settlements, came back to the church from which they had<br />
been compelled to separate themselves, <strong>and</strong> asked the members to join with<br />
them in thanking God that they were clean again. He thanked God for Christian<br />
people who loved Christ enough to give their time <strong>and</strong> money that unfortunates<br />
could be restored to health <strong>and</strong> society.<br />
We rejoice that our people in America have accepted the responsibility of<br />
helping to "cleanse the lepers." No one knows the percentage of infection<br />
among the people of Nigeria, but it must be very high. Christianity is the<br />
only religion offering them sympathy <strong>and</strong> cleansing. We need a doctor to<br />
devote all of his time to the leper work.<br />
PERSONNEL NEEDS<br />
If Southern Baptists are to do effective mission work in Africa, we must<br />
increase our staff of missionaries to such an extent that we can do quickly<br />
<strong>and</strong> efficiently each task we have undertaken. To do this in the field we have<br />
already occupied will require an increase of seventy-five per cent of our staff.<br />
Each branch of our work is under-staffed. The missionary who has more than<br />
he can do well becomes discouraged, <strong>and</strong> consequently lowers his st<strong>and</strong>ard. His<br />
physical, mental, <strong>and</strong> spiritual life ceases to function normally, in fact he fails<br />
to do his best. We, as a denomination, cannot afford to do less than our best<br />
since the cause we represent is the greatest of all causes—the Great Commission.<br />
Southern Baptists are giving money to support missions, but we also need<br />
additional personnel as follows:<br />
Three doctors <strong>and</strong> at least eight nurses for our medical work<br />
Ten highly trained lady teachers, <strong>and</strong> four trained men for our educational<br />
work<br />
Three trained men for the Seminary<br />
It goes without saying that these recruits should be experienced <strong>and</strong> successful<br />
in their chosen field; zeal, experience, ability, tolerance <strong>and</strong> enthusiasm<br />
are among the traits needed to make leaders.<br />
Another task we must undertake on a mission field should be that of supervision<br />
The responsibilities of the Christian life are very great for the newlywon<br />
African convert. Each group of churches, probably about twenty-five in<br />
number should have an evangelistic missionary as supervisor. If we could do<br />
this for'fifteen years, we could turn most of the responsibility over to the locaJ<br />
people.

The Road to Peace in Mexico<br />
A. P. PIERSON<br />
The kingdom of God is not eating <strong>and</strong> drinking, but righteousness<br />
<strong>and</strong> peace <strong>and</strong> joy in the Holy Spirit.—Romans 14:17<br />
Southern Baptist mission work in Mexico extends over a territory about<br />
twice the size of the state of Texas, with a population of nine million people.<br />
From El Paso, Texas, in the north it extends fifteen <strong>hundred</strong> miles south to<br />
Acapulco, Guerrero. On this field you can go from mountains that are covered<br />
with snow to the hot jungles of the tropics, <strong>and</strong> in this territory there are many<br />
industries, the most important of which are agriculture, mining, <strong>and</strong> cattle<br />
raising.<br />
As in all parts of Mexico, the people of the Southern Baptist field are<br />
divided into three classes. The upper class, generally made up of the rich<br />
element in which the white race is more or less predominant; the middle class,<br />
the majority of whom are a mixture of the white with the Indian race; <strong>and</strong><br />
the lower class, made up of the working peon group. This latter class has a<br />
large Indian element, in many cases Indians of pure blood.<br />
In our field we find twenty tribes of Indians: Tarascos, Mixtecos, Zapotecas,<br />
Cuitlalecos, Cocas, Teules, Tepecanos, Hucholes, Guachichiles, Tepehuanes,<br />
Tarahumaras, Pueblos, Apache, Conchos, Tobosos, Coahuiltecos, Mayos, Yaquis,<br />
Opatas, Seris y Pimas. Work among the Indian tribes is carried on by the<br />
National Baptist Convention of Mexico.<br />
In our Southern Baptist Mission we have some <strong>six</strong>ty churches. The largest<br />
churches are located in Guadalajara, Morelia, Toluca, Torreon, Juarez, Saltillo<br />
Chihuahua. From these centers have grown other churches <strong>and</strong> many missions.<br />
During 1945, special emphasis has been given to evangelism. A large number<br />
of the churches had one or more series of special meetings, some having<br />
as many as three during the year. Reports are not yet complete on the number<br />
of baptisms, but the figures will go well over three <strong>hundred</strong>.<br />
There is in our churches a great need for better organized, Christian,<br />
educational work which shall lead to larger success in winning others to Christ.<br />
Much interest has been awakened in the vacation Bible school, <strong>and</strong> more of<br />
these were held in 1945 than in any other year. Three of our associations<br />
have voted to organize Baptist Training Unions in the churches within the<br />
associations. However, these organizations have to be studied <strong>and</strong> the plans<br />
adapted to the needs of each field.<br />
Two institutes for pastors, two encampments for young people, <strong>and</strong> two<br />
extension schools were held during this year. These meetings were well attended,<br />
<strong>and</strong> the courses presented the newer methods of B.T.U. <strong>and</strong> Sunday school<br />
work, as well as that of daily vacation Bible schools. There has been so much<br />
interest shown in the encampments that five have been projected for 1946,<br />
which will give us an opportunity to train many needed workers.<br />
IMPERATIVE NEEDS<br />
During the past year we have felt the need for buildings that will be<br />
adequate for the educational needs of our growing churches. Over 50 per cent<br />
of our buildings had made very little or no provision for departmental work.<br />
Therefore many of our churches are now engaged in building campaigns.<br />
Due to the scarcity of native workers, most of our native pastors are carrying<br />
double work. We have many churches without pastors <strong>and</strong> the need<br />
for trained <strong>and</strong> active leadership is so great that the work is not going forward<br />
as it would if consecrated men were available.<br />
Again I mention the need for a good Baptist hospital in Mexico, on our<br />
Southern field. Our people have no place to which they can go with confidence<br />
when they are sick. We could have a well trained staff of Mexican Baptist<br />
doctors, as there are already eight men on the field working toward this end.
FOREIGN MISSION BOARD 259<br />
Not only would our own people have a place to go when ilf, but this would offer<br />
a great opportunity to heal the souls as well as the bodies of the unsaved.<br />
We are praying earnestly that we may soon have additional help. The<br />
field is so large that, in order to cover our territory, we need at least two more<br />
missionary couples for field work.<br />
In the educational work we are behind other denominations. We have one<br />
Baptist school in Mexico on the Southern field. At present we have a student<br />
home in Guadalajara <strong>and</strong> one in Chihuahua. This year a commercial school<br />
was opened in Durango. Already there are over one <strong>hundred</strong> students enrolled<br />
<strong>and</strong> many have been turned away for lack of room. Your missionaries doing<br />
field work in Mexico are: Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Orvil W. Reid, Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. A. P.<br />
Pierson, <strong>and</strong> Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. James D. Crane. "But what are these" in so vast a<br />
territory?<br />
We ask that you pray with us about these needs.<br />
MEXICAN BAPTIST SEMINARY AND TRAINING SCHOOL<br />
W. J. WEBB<br />
The Mexican Seminary <strong>and</strong> Training School located in El Paso, Texas, is<br />
in the midst of the most fruitful year of all its history. The enrollment has<br />
reached an all-time high of <strong>forty</strong>-three regularly enrolled students, <strong>and</strong> twentyone<br />
in the night school classes. This past summer was a very good one in<br />
the extension schools. Seventeen students finished the third year course given<br />
in Toluca, while thirty-two completed the first year course in Torreon. Our<br />
newly opened correspondence department has fourteen students in four countries,<br />
taking a total of twenty-<strong>six</strong> courses.<br />
This year's student body is composed of fourteen single girls, fourteen young<br />
men, <strong>and</strong> fifteen married students. Of this group, twenty-five come from<br />
Old Mexico, two from Guatemala, <strong>and</strong> <strong>six</strong>teen from the United States.<br />
Besides taking a full curricular load, all students are required to take an<br />
active part in the missionary work over the week-end. Every Sunday fifteen<br />
students cross into Old Mexico where they serve one church <strong>and</strong> seven missions.<br />
The remaining number work on this side of the border, serving fifteen missions<br />
<strong>and</strong> eight churches, extending from Roswell, New Mexico on the north to Alpine,<br />
Texas on the south.<br />
At the close of the year's work we expect to have fourteen graduates,<br />
three of whom will go to Guatemala to work, three to Old Mexico, <strong>and</strong> eight<br />
to the Unite'd States.<br />
The faculty is composed of Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. W. J. <strong>Web</strong>b, Miss Viola Campbell,<br />
Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Alfredo Lerin, Rev. Jose Rivas <strong>and</strong> Rev. Leo Estrada.<br />
Due to the recent reform of religious laws in Mexico, we believe that this<br />
will be the last year that the Seminary will be in El Paso. It now seems that<br />
we shall be able, without any difficulty, to return the Seminary to Mexico.<br />
SPANISH BAPTIST PUBLISHING HOUSE<br />
F. W. PATTERSON<br />
In many ways 1945 has been one of the best in the <strong>forty</strong> years' history of<br />
the Publishing House. We have come through the war stronger than ever<br />
before, both in regard to our financial condition <strong>and</strong> the circulation of the<br />
literature we publish. The net worth of the Publishing House, according to an<br />
audit report as of May 31, 1945, was $112,924.31, which does not include the<br />
value of the buildings'. Our periodicals have enjoyed a net increase of nearly<br />
20 per cent in the past two years. The Spanish Baptist Publication House,<br />
located in El Paso, Texas, furnished literature for the churches, missions <strong>and</strong><br />
Sunday schools of Southern Baptists <strong>and</strong> other groups in twenty-<strong>six</strong> countries.<br />
Our publications include a graded series of seven quarterlies for the Sunday<br />
school based upon the uniform lessons, three Training Union quarterlies, <strong>and</strong> -<br />
a magazine of general interest to our churches. A very small part of our<br />
literature is translated. The greater part of the quarterlres is the original<br />
work of collaborators who represent eleven countries. This Publishing House<br />
has sent fo~th some 200 volumes, many of which are classic Baptist works,
260 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
such as Preparation <strong>and</strong> Delivery of Sermons, by John A. Broadus, Interpretati<br />
of the Bible, by Dr. B. H. Carroll, The Christian Religion in Its Doctrinal E<br />
pression, by Dr. E. Y." Mullins, <strong>and</strong> many splendid works from the pens of our<br />
outst<strong>and</strong>ing. Latin-American writers.<br />
During 1945, over <strong>and</strong> above church supplies <strong>and</strong> promotional material,<br />
we published the following:<br />
Sunday School <strong>and</strong> Training Union quarterlies 317,150<br />
Pages of S. S. <strong>and</strong> B.T.U. quarterlies 12,732,800<br />
Religious books published 15<br />
Copies of books published 27,300<br />
Tracts published 525,000<br />
Total pages of Bible literature published 18,340,800<br />
To our constituents in all parts of the Spanish-speaking world, we are<br />
offering tracts of an evangelistic nature, free of charge <strong>and</strong> postage paid.<br />
The response to our offer has been indeed gratifying. Orders have poured in<br />
from Chile <strong>and</strong> Argentina to New York, <strong>and</strong> from the Azores Isl<strong>and</strong>s to the<br />
Philippines. We anticipate a dem<strong>and</strong> for at least a million tracts in 1946,<br />
<strong>and</strong> to make our work more effective, we have prepared a series of illustrated<br />
leaflets in two colors.<br />
By May of 1946, we shall have finished the series of thirteen textbooks<br />
for vacation Bible schools, which carry the same materials that are available<br />
from the Sunday School Board in English. The vacation Bible school work is<br />
becoming more <strong>and</strong> more popular <strong>and</strong> offers us a wide field for educational <strong>and</strong><br />
evangelistic endeavor.<br />
Like many business enterprises in the United States, we have not had<br />
opportunity to improve our equipment in any appreciable degree in several<br />
years. Orders have been placed to replace obsolete equipment <strong>and</strong> to add new<br />
<strong>and</strong> modern equipment to the extent of some $12,000. We have recently<br />
purchased a second-h<strong>and</strong>, offset, printing press which will fill an increasing<br />
need in our business. Six of the fifteen books which we published in 1945 were<br />
second editions of books which we had published previously but which had<br />
gone out of print. The offset press will enable us not only to publish second<br />
editions at less expense, but will also free our other presses for the publication<br />
of new works. This press likewise is fitted for producing diplomas, certificates,<br />
record materials, <strong>and</strong> so forth.<br />
Probably the greatest blessing which has come to the Publishing House<br />
in 1945 has been the addition of Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. J. W. McGavock to the staff.<br />
Your other missionaries engaged in this work are Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Frank W.<br />
Patterson. Perhaps our greatest single need at the present is a young man<br />
who will dedicate himself to a bilingual preparation for business administration<br />
<strong>and</strong> promotion of sales.<br />
We, your servants, continue to covet your prayers for this ever growing<br />
institution.<br />
South Brazil <strong>and</strong> Peacetime Missions<br />
WILLIAM H. BERRY<br />
Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.—Matthew 3:3<br />
The peace which has come to the nations with the end of World War II<br />
represents only a cessation of bombings <strong>and</strong> methodical material destruction;<br />
the ideological struggle still goes on. Liberty <strong>and</strong> democracy have triumphed<br />
only in the abstract. It is true that these ideals have been strengthened among<br />
the nations by the victory of allied arms, but they have not yet been established.<br />
The great danger in a contemporizing world is that Christianity, too, may make<br />
concessions <strong>and</strong> adjustments which devitalize its strength <strong>and</strong> unity. The forces<br />
organized to bring about this neutralizing process among us are agressive,<br />
methodical, <strong>and</strong> persuasive. Christianity can best refute them through the<br />
cultivation of these same characteristics. These, plus the work of the Holy<br />
Spirit, are the hope of Christianity in a world which might otherwise seem<br />
irredeemable.

BRAZILIAN BAPTISTS TO MEET WORLD PROBLEMS<br />
Brazilian Baptists have already shown that they have an underst<strong>and</strong>ing of<br />
present-day trends. They face dangers which can be met only through Baptist<br />
solidarity. The War <strong>and</strong> the movement of the times have brought an unprecedented<br />
prosperity to the Brazilian people. They are in the midst of<br />
a great building program. Their industry has exp<strong>and</strong>ed to limits hardly<br />
dreamed of before. Living conditions in the regions where this development<br />
has been realized are comparable to those in other countries with a highly<br />
developed civilization. Students seeking knowledge fill Brazil's schools <strong>and</strong><br />
colleges to overflowing. Agriculture, smeltering works, good roads, <strong>and</strong> extension<br />
air routes, all are indicators which mark the continuous rise in her commercial,<br />
industrial, <strong>and</strong> spiritual progress.<br />
Brazilian Baptists also are sensitive to all the internal pressure <strong>and</strong> accumulation<br />
of "power which is forging a new nation <strong>and</strong> a new people. Through the<br />
long <strong>and</strong> thorny path of a somewhat exaggerated emphasis on Baptist liberty,<br />
they seem to have found the true meaning of Baptist democracy—a democracy<br />
which recognizes to its fullest the value of individual freedom, but which does<br />
not reject majority rule.<br />
BAPTIST CO-OPERATION<br />
The National Baptist Convention, in Sao Paulo in January of this year,<br />
resolved in open discussion to abolish all former rules drawn up between the<br />
Convention <strong>and</strong> the Foreign Mission Board in Richmond for the co-operation<br />
of these two Baptist bodies in Brazil. Henceforth the only recognized basis<br />
for this co-operation will be the principles of the New Testament. In all<br />
Brazilian Baptist history there has never been a more far-reaching declaration<br />
of confidence between Brazilians <strong>and</strong> missionaries. It is many years since our<br />
Foreign Mission Board <strong>and</strong> national Baptists have been so unfettered for a<br />
truly collaborative program of progress <strong>and</strong> expansion, <strong>and</strong> just at the time<br />
when Brazilian material growth dem<strong>and</strong>s our greatest spiritual co-operation.<br />
BRAZIL AND THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST MISSION<br />
Brazil as a mission field is unique, because of the diversity of her missionary<br />
needs; unique because within her bounds may be found every degree of Christian<br />
development known to Baptists. Every phase of our mission policy is<br />
applicable somewhere within her bounds—pioneer evangelization, teaching the<br />
first steps in reading, developing churches small <strong>and</strong> large, <strong>and</strong> the maintenance<br />
of organizations <strong>and</strong> institutions within the capacities of the people who have<br />
become Baptists. No one policy would be applicable for every state.<br />
MISSIONARY PERSONNEL<br />
During the years of Baptist depression in Brazil, the South Brazil Mission,.<br />
like its sister organization of the north, saw its forces depleted. Because little<br />
hope could be given by the Board for the appointment of new missionaries,<br />
those on the fields were obliged to take on new duties, as the death or withdrawal<br />
of their comrades continued to multiply the obligations thrust upon<br />
those who were left.<br />
It is true that some of these duties fell upon the shoulders of national<br />
brethren (where they belong) just as fast as they could be assumed by them.<br />
Baptist numerical <strong>and</strong> geographical expansion, however, has been enormous.<br />
This growth has been far in excess of the development of a well equipped<br />
ministry. Both nationals <strong>and</strong> missionaries have been too over-loaded to give<br />
to the churches <strong>and</strong> institutions the attention they need in this formative period<br />
of our denominational life.<br />
Now we are experiencing better days. Young <strong>and</strong> well-prepared missionary<br />
couples have come out to take their places among older missionaries <strong>and</strong><br />
Brazilian workers. Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. A. I. Bagby have found their places in the<br />
hearts of the people in Rio Gr<strong>and</strong>e do Sul, Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Samuel Bagby returned<br />
to his home state of Sao Paulo. (Since this report was written we have been<br />
informed Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Samuel Bagby have resigned.) Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. T. N.<br />
Clinkscales opened up a marvelous center of Baptist activity in Londrma,<br />
Parana, Dr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. E. F. Hallock came to Rio where he has become director<br />
of the Training Department of the Sunday School Board of the National Baptist<br />
Convention. Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs S. P. Jackson have moved to the great interior center<br />
of eastern Minas Gerais, <strong>and</strong> Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. W. B. McNealy. who spent their first
262 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
term of service in the new interior state of Goias, have now moved to Rio de<br />
Janeiro <strong>and</strong> will continue their missionary activities in the state of Rio.<br />
Besides these <strong>six</strong> couples who have already made their places in Baptist<br />
work <strong>and</strong> in the hearts of Brazilian Baptists, there are a number of new missionaries<br />
now studying the language <strong>and</strong> preparing themselves to fit into the<br />
tasks which are calling for them. These are Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. A. E. Blankenship,<br />
Miss Dorine Hawkins, Miss Albertine Meadors, Miss Minnie Lou Lanier, <strong>and</strong><br />
Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Kermit Schmidt.<br />
Since last year's report, our losses include Brother A. B. Deter, emeritus<br />
missionary who died in Dallas, Texas; Mr. A. J. Terry,, who with Mrs. Terry<br />
were working in Vitoria, Espirito Santo; <strong>and</strong> Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Harley Smith of<br />
Rio Gr<strong>and</strong>e do Sul who resigned as missionaries of the Board. Brother <strong>and</strong><br />
Mrs. 0. P. Maddox have also become emeritus missionaries since the last report<br />
was given. The Mission feels these losses profoundly, especially because of the<br />
long <strong>and</strong> fruitful services of these leaders <strong>and</strong> because of our personal affection<br />
for them, which has grown in these years of intimate fellowship <strong>and</strong> work.<br />
STATE BY STATE<br />
For convenience we divide the nine states included in the territory of the<br />
Southern Baptist Mission, into three geographical groups. Rio Gr<strong>and</strong>e do Sul,<br />
Santa Catarina, <strong>and</strong> Parana compose the first of these <strong>and</strong> are in the extreme<br />
southern part of Brazil. They have a large foreign population, <strong>and</strong> form a<br />
large agricultural region of the country.<br />
Rio Gr<strong>and</strong>e do Sul. Dr. W. C. Harrison, president of our Baptist College<br />
of Porto Alegre, Rio Gr<strong>and</strong>e do Sul, writes of his state:<br />
"Ours is one of the richest <strong>and</strong> most advanced states of Brazil, but it is<br />
still far from occupying the place it should in our Baptist work. Baptists<br />
(European) have been in the state for more than fifty years, although their<br />
work has not been carried on with outst<strong>and</strong>ing missionary enthusiasm. The<br />
colonists who came over from Europe sustained the worship of their fathers<br />
<strong>and</strong> were content when their local church was able to meet the needs of its<br />
own immediate community.<br />
"Now Southern <strong>and</strong> Swedish Baptists are deeply concerned about their<br />
work in the entire state. Our one school, Ginasio Batista, had an enrollment<br />
last year of more than 500 students. It maintains the same high st<strong>and</strong>ard in<br />
• scholastic work .as our other Baptist schools of Brazil, <strong>and</strong> in it Bible teaching<br />
<strong>and</strong> evangelistic work are carried on throughout the year. Our Swedish brethren<br />
have established an orphans' home which is a growing institution <strong>and</strong> is maintained<br />
on a solid financial basis. Our evangelistic work throughout the state<br />
has suffered because we have never had a missionary couple to do this most<br />
important phase of our Baptist work."<br />
Besides Dr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. W. C. Harrison, Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs Albert Bagby are<br />
effectively giving their lives to the work of that field.<br />
Parana <strong>and</strong> Santa Catarina. The only missionaries now in these two states<br />
are Dr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. A. B. Oliver, Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. T. X. Clinkscales, <strong>and</strong> Mrs. A. B.<br />
Deter (emeritus missionary). Dr. Oliver continues to live in Curitiba, capital<br />
of Parana, <strong>and</strong> visits the churches of these two states. Heavy duties fall upon<br />
him from all sides. He is secretary of their mission <strong>and</strong> secretary-treasurer<br />
for the Baptist state work. He is also called upon continually to serve on<br />
boards <strong>and</strong> with his pen.<br />
Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Clinkscales are rendering their first term of missionary service.<br />
Having moved to the interior of the state, <strong>and</strong> having established a Baptist<br />
center in Londrina (a new agricultural section in northwest Parana), they are<br />
giving their time to the religious development of a region where material<br />
progress made it necessary for us to accompany the growth of Brazil's "go west"<br />
movement. Those who visit Londrina testify that the work of Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs.<br />
Clinkscales constitutes one of the marvels of our new fields in Brazil.<br />
The second group of states comprises Sao Paulo, Mato Grosso, Minas Gerais,<br />
<strong>and</strong> Goias.<br />
Sao Paulo. Information about this great industrial center of Brazil has<br />
been given extensively in former reports. Sao Paulo continues to determine<br />
very largely the industrial pulse-beat of the nation, <strong>and</strong> fortunately our Baptist<br />
work there is comparatively strong.
FOREIGN MISSION BOARD 263<br />
The 1945 report of the Brazilian Baptist Convention shows the state has<br />
119 churches <strong>and</strong> 12,104 members. Their contributions to all causes were<br />
about $60,000.<br />
During the past year no missionaries were on the field, except Rev. <strong>and</strong><br />
Mrs. Samuel Bagby who recently gave up their work. Mr. Paul C. Porter<br />
had been temporarily directing the Shepard Baptist College in Rio; Mr. <strong>and</strong><br />
Mrs. F. A. R. Morgan <strong>and</strong> Miss Mattie Baker were on furlough in the United<br />
States; Mrs. Essie Fuller Batista, one-time missionary, had gone to Porto<br />
Alegre to work in that school in the place of missionaries who were on furlough.<br />
Goias <strong>and</strong> Mato Grosso. Of Goias—one of the newest fields to be opened<br />
within the Southern Baptist Mission—Rev. W. B. McNealy writes:<br />
"Missionary T. C. Bagby <strong>and</strong> family have finished their first year's work in<br />
this state. During the past year Baptists have had a marvelous growth. Five<br />
new church houses have been built, or reconstructed. A secondary school was<br />
opened in connection with the already prosperous primary educational program<br />
being offered to those who had little opportunity of learning, <strong>and</strong> we enrolled<br />
more than 250 students in the school."<br />
Mr. McNealy has recently transferred his activities to the State of Rio,<br />
<strong>and</strong> the missionaries now working in Goias are Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. T. C. Bagby <strong>and</strong><br />
Miss Alma Jackson.<br />
Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. W. B. Sherwood are due to return this year to carry on<br />
where he has been giving his life for many years. He <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Sherwood are<br />
the only missionaries working in Mato Grosso.<br />
Minas Gerais. Mr. J. R. Allen of Minas writes:<br />
"Several of our missionary couples were on furlough <strong>and</strong> returned during<br />
the year. Brother W. H. Berry <strong>and</strong> family returned only long enough to get<br />
their furniture <strong>and</strong> move on to Rio de Janeiro to take up new duties there.<br />
Brother <strong>and</strong> Mrs. O. P. Maddox have had to retire, so we are reduced to three<br />
missionary couples <strong>and</strong> two single missionaries for a state the size of Germany.<br />
"We send our S.O.S. call for more missionaries—at least two more couples<br />
at the earliest possible date.<br />
"Statistically, the Baptist work in Minas shows development. There are<br />
<strong>six</strong>ty-five churches with a total of over <strong>six</strong> thous<strong>and</strong> members. Last year they<br />
baptized <strong>six</strong> <strong>hundred</strong> new members, or nearly one for every ten. The churches<br />
have 168 Sunday schools with an average total attendance of 8,410. Fiftythree<br />
of the churches are self-supporting, <strong>and</strong> contributions for all purposes<br />
last year, reached $40,000. The value of church <strong>and</strong> school property combined<br />
is above a million dollars."<br />
Brother Harrington has recently been elected president of the Belo Horizonte<br />
College, <strong>and</strong> he <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Harrington are giving their time to that institution.<br />
This leaves Brother Allen alone to visit the large number of churches scattered<br />
over the state.<br />
Estado do Rio. From his field Missionary A. B. Christie writes:<br />
"The year closed with 145 churches, <strong>six</strong>ty-<strong>six</strong> pastors, eighteen evangelists,<br />
<strong>and</strong> 16,117 church members. There were approximately 1,500 baptisms. The<br />
other organizations show the following development. The churches contributed<br />
$44,914, <strong>and</strong> the property is valued at $75,000. Most of the churches have<br />
property. For some it is only a lot, others have simple houses of worship,<br />
while still others have splendid temples. Two new church buildings were<br />
inaugurated during the year."<br />
Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. A. B. Christie <strong>and</strong> Miss Blanche Simpson constitute the missionary<br />
staff in this field. The State Convention invited Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. W. B.<br />
McNealy to work in the state as Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Christie are to be retired at the<br />
end of 1946.<br />
Espirito Santo. The loss of missionary A. J. Terry by death last year left<br />
only Mrs. Terry <strong>and</strong> Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. R. Elton Johnson for the missionary work<br />
there. Miss Albertine Meadors has accepted an invitation to work in this field<br />
<strong>and</strong> will move to Vitoria soon. This is one of our oldest <strong>and</strong> best developed<br />
fields. They have a total of fifty-five churches <strong>and</strong> 181 preaching points.<br />
Every church in the field is self-sustaining, <strong>and</strong> fifty-one of the fifty-five have<br />
their own church buildings. Last year they baptized 328 new members <strong>and</strong><br />
contributed for all causes more than $20,000.
264 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
Federal District. The Federal District now has fifty-five churches organized<br />
with 8,851 members, <strong>and</strong> last year baptized 795 new members. Missionary<br />
pastors in Rio are: A. B. Crabtree, T. B. Stover, W. E. Allen, J. J. Cowsert,<br />
<strong>and</strong> E. F. Hallock.<br />
EDUCATION<br />
Shepard College. This Baptist institution was established in 1908 <strong>and</strong> now<br />
has an annual enrollment of nearly 2,000. About five years ago Mr. Paul C.<br />
Porter was called by the college board to serve as director. The school was<br />
then passing through a crisis which could have compromised its future usefulness.<br />
That crisis has now passed, however, <strong>and</strong> Colegio Batista Shepard is<br />
firmly on its feet. Mr. Porter asked permission to go back to evangelistic work<br />
in the state of Sao Paulo. Mr. Edgar Soren, Brazilian Baptist of proven ability<br />
<strong>and</strong> worth, is now president of the College.<br />
Girls' School. This school functions as a part of Shepard College <strong>and</strong> is,<br />
at present, directed by Miss Edith A. West, while Miss Bernice Neel, permanent<br />
director, is on furlough. Working with Miss West are: Miss Ruth R<strong>and</strong>all,<br />
Mrs. J. J. Cowsert, Mrs. J. L. Riffey, Mrs. L. M. Bratcher, Mrs. A. R. Crabtree,<br />
Mrs. E. F. Hallock, Mrs. Edith Allen, Miss Minnie L<strong>and</strong>rum <strong>and</strong> Miss Dorine<br />
Hawkins.<br />
These missionaries are maintaining in the school the religious courses for<br />
women until the new Baptist Training School for Women can be established.<br />
Finances for the building of the Training School have already been provided<br />
in part by the Woman's Missionary Union of the Southern Baptist Convention<br />
but war conditions have delayed the beginning of the construction.<br />
OTHER BAPTIST COLLEGES<br />
Within the bounds of the South Brazil Mission there are five other offici<br />
Baptist colleges, that is, schools which are maintained by the denomination.<br />
These are located in Porto Alegre, Rio Gr<strong>and</strong>e do Sul; city of Sao Paulo; Belo<br />
Horizonte, Minas; Campos, State of Rio; <strong>and</strong> Vitoria, Espirito Santo.<br />
At the present time only two of these are being directed by missionaries.<br />
Dr. W. C. Harrison <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Helen Bagby Harrison are directors of the school<br />
in Rio Gr<strong>and</strong>e do Sul, <strong>and</strong> Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. J. A. Harrington have recently been<br />
elected to direct the school in Belo Horizonte.<br />
Besides these schools which are fostered by the denomination, there are<br />
various schools <strong>and</strong> colleges which are sustained by churches <strong>and</strong> individuals,<br />
whose students number into the thous<strong>and</strong>s each year, but of which the statistics<br />
we have in h<strong>and</strong> do not permit an adequate appraisal.<br />
Rio Theological Seminary. This last year the Rio Seminary, directed by<br />
Dr. John L. Riffey, has been unusually successful <strong>and</strong>, although only beginning<br />
to function in 1940, this department has already enrolled 121 students in the<br />
different states, <strong>and</strong> has graduated thirty-three.<br />
Dr. A. R. Crabtree has recently been elected the permanent director of the<br />
Seminary, <strong>and</strong> Dr. W. E. Allen gives the major part of his time as a professor.<br />
Dr. E. F. Hallock is also one of the temporary professors.<br />
The National Convention, at its annual session in Sao Paulo last January,<br />
launched a campaign to raise a million cruzeiros among Brazilian Baptists for<br />
new buildings <strong>and</strong> equipment. Dr. A. B. Oliver was chosen manager of the<br />
campaign now in progress.<br />
NATIONAL INSTITUTIONS<br />
It has been through the process of freedom in discussion, individual ente<br />
prise in the opening up of new work, <strong>and</strong> majority rule in the establishment<br />
of their churches <strong>and</strong> denominational institutions that Brazilian Baptists have<br />
arrived at their present state of growth <strong>and</strong> development. The triumph of<br />
these principles among a people whose religious background has been hostile<br />
<strong>and</strong> contradictory to these ideals represents the first great victory. Brazilian<br />
Baptists have become exemplary Baptists for the world. Their underst<strong>and</strong>ing<br />
of these principles in their purest form is reflected in their conventions, in their<br />
churches, in their financial, beneficent, publicity, <strong>and</strong> educational institutions.<br />
In these institutions the basis is set for a "century of progress," the first part<br />
of which will still need the close co-operation of the Board in Richmond <strong>and</strong>
FOREIGN MISSION BOARD 265<br />
their missionaries in Brazil, but which is destined to crystallize into one of the<br />
great moving forces which is already playing a preponderant part in Brazil's<br />
intellectual <strong>and</strong> spiritual development.<br />
The Churches. The churches are always the center <strong>and</strong> the aim of Baptist<br />
work. It was to them that the Commission was given. It is through them<br />
that we have our authority. Of the approximately 900 churches in Brazil,<br />
<strong>six</strong>ty per cent support their own pastors <strong>and</strong> seventy per cent have their own<br />
church buildings. The First Baptist Church of Rio, those of Sao Paulo, Belo<br />
Horizonte, Vitoria, <strong>and</strong> Curitiba st<strong>and</strong> out in the life of these cities <strong>and</strong> their<br />
respective states because of their strength <strong>and</strong> influence. It is also significant<br />
that a large number of small-town <strong>and</strong> country churches have their own houses<br />
of worship.<br />
Sunday School Board. The National Sunday School Board, headed by Dr.<br />
T. B. Stover, as corresponding secretary, has become an organization of farreaching<br />
contribution to Baptist work in Brazil.<br />
There are <strong>six</strong> departments under this organization: the Baptist Publishing<br />
House, the Departments of Statistics <strong>and</strong> Propag<strong>and</strong>a, the Sunday School Department,<br />
Young People's Department, the Department of Permanent Literature,<br />
<strong>and</strong> the Jornal Batista. The heads of these different departments in the order<br />
named 'are T. B. Stover, J. J. Cowsert, E. F. Hallock, Walter Kaschel,<br />
A. R. Crabtree, <strong>and</strong> Moises Silveira.<br />
In his report to the National Baptist Convention in Sao Paulo, Mr. Stover<br />
said of the Publishing House:<br />
"Our printing presses continue to produce to the limit of their capacity<br />
without putting on night shifts, which we now expect to do as soon as workers<br />
can be found to do the work. This is our only solution until some new equipment<br />
can be bought. Our production for the year can be appreciated only in<br />
a comparison. For 1944 we printed 77,300 books, bound 65,000 <strong>and</strong> published<br />
85,000 quarterlies (340,000 for the year) for the various denominational<br />
organizations. In 1945 these figures were increased to 106,917; 129,302; <strong>and</strong><br />
102,300 (409,000 for the year) respectively."<br />
Sales were even more impressive. From the same report we quote:<br />
"In the local bookstore we had an exceptional year. During the year, sales<br />
reached the surprising figure of $12,391.80 ($4,000 more than the previous<br />
year). General book sales reached $57,743.30 ($35,790.70 more than the year<br />
before).<br />
Woman's Missionary Union. The following is a translation of an account<br />
furnished to Brazilian Baptist papers of the work done by Woman's Missionary<br />
Union in 1945.<br />
"A glance at the report for the Woman's Missionary Union given by Miss<br />
Minnie L<strong>and</strong>rum at the National Baptist Convention in Sao Paulo is convincing<br />
proof of the numerical <strong>and</strong> spiritual development of that organization.<br />
"From the statistics cited in the first pages of that report which makes a<br />
comparison of the growth in the years 1944-1945, we find a marked increase<br />
in every phase of the work."<br />
Home Missions. The Home Mission Board of the Brazilian Baptist Convention<br />
exercises its activities chiefly in the interior states of Brazil, <strong>and</strong> much<br />
of their work is done among the Indians.<br />
In his report to the National Baptist Convention in January, Dr. L. M.<br />
Bratcher, corresponding secretary of the Home Board wrote:<br />
"In 1945 the following new missionaries were sent to the various fields:<br />
Maria Cardose de Souza, Elza Rocha Gottelip, Lydia Goncalyes dos Santos,<br />
Pedrina de Souza Azevedo, <strong>and</strong> Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Guttumberg.<br />
"During the year our office sent out more than 13,000 letters <strong>and</strong> prepared<br />
two evangelistic radio programs weekly.<br />
"Our workers conducted 895 preaching services <strong>and</strong> prayer meetings, <strong>and</strong><br />
there were 499 decisions <strong>and</strong> 83 baptisms."<br />
Dr Bratcher closed his report saying:<br />
"The co-operation we received in this glorious work could not have been<br />
better During the nearly twenty years I have been secretary of the Home<br />
Marion Board, I have never seen greater general interest in its plans Many<br />
churches <strong>and</strong> individual members are assuming personal responsibility for
266 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
sending the "good news" to those who are waiting for the light of the gospel;<br />
the different fields are increasing their contributions; churches are asking for<br />
information. . . . In 1946 we will have greater resources than ever for the<br />
distribution of God's Word."<br />
Miss Letha Saunders gives her time to the work of the Brazilian Home<br />
Mission Board as director of propag<strong>and</strong>a.<br />
The Brazilian Bible Press. Of the Brazilian Bible Press—organized in 1940<br />
<strong>and</strong> printing New Testaments <strong>and</strong> Bibles since 1943—we give the following<br />
facts we believe every Baptist would like to know:<br />
1) This organization has made it possible for Baptists <strong>and</strong> other evangeli<br />
cals to have Bibles at a time when war conditions made this otherwise impossble.<br />
2) The B.B.P. has been the first organization to publish the entire<br />
Bible in Brazil. 3) The B.B.P. has printed four editions of the Bible <strong>and</strong> New<br />
Testament, totalling 82,000 copies. 4) It was the first organization to publish<br />
the Bible in Brazil's current orthography. 5) It has given to Brazilians a Bible<br />
<strong>and</strong> New Testament inferior to none in printing <strong>and</strong> binding. 6) The B.B.P.<br />
has another translation almost ready to go on the press which has taken years<br />
to prepare, <strong>and</strong> which is the product of the best scholarship in Brazil. 7) The<br />
new translation will be printed in a teacher's Bible with notes <strong>and</strong> helps for<br />
Sunday school teachers. 8) The Brazilian Bible Press is already far in advance<br />
of other organizations which hope to print a new translation with simplified<br />
spelling. 9) The B.B.P. has organized its funds on a revolving basis, so that<br />
any accumulation of profits goes back into the printing of popular editions at<br />
prices which would be impossible if printed out of Brazil. 10) The Brazilian<br />
Bible Press is already a working actuality <strong>and</strong> is seeing the fruits of its labor.<br />
In 1945 alone they sold 13,986 Bibles <strong>and</strong> 1,367 New Testaments.<br />
Publicity Committee. In 1942 the South Brazil Mission, recognizing the<br />
need for greater <strong>and</strong> more concentrated efforts for religious publicity in Brazil,<br />
appointed a publicity committee.<br />
The necessity of such a committee is self-evident. This is a day of propa<br />
g<strong>and</strong>a, some of it good <strong>and</strong> lots of it bad. We live by it. We eat by its music<br />
<strong>and</strong> sleep to the drone of its broadcasts. We are swamped by its volume in<br />
the newspapers, on the radio, <strong>and</strong> in the cinema. New directions are being<br />
applied to these channels of information which are, as someone recently put it.<br />
"to entertain, to inform, <strong>and</strong> to confuse."<br />
From a former report of this committee we quote:<br />
"We have come to recognize the part a conservative but efficient <strong>and</strong> comp<br />
hensive publicity plays in carrying on the kingdom work. Press publicity,<br />
radio preaching, <strong>and</strong> informational propag<strong>and</strong>a are playing a greater <strong>and</strong> greater<br />
part in the spreading of the gospel. The opportunities for such publicity are<br />
evident <strong>and</strong> their possibilities are limitless. These are the forces which the<br />
builders of public opinion <strong>and</strong> the promoters of national <strong>and</strong> international<br />
unity nowhere ignore."<br />
Atlas News Service has been organized by the South Brazil Mission <strong>and</strong> the<br />
Foreign Mission Board as a medium for the work of the Publicity Committee.<br />
The general aims of that committee have been set forth as follows:<br />
1) To co-operate with the Foreign Mission Board in the diffusion of infor<br />
mation about mission work in Brazil. 2) To make our contribution to the<br />
unification of Brazilian Baptists, among themselves, with the missionaries, <strong>and</strong><br />
with Southern Baptists, through an organized exchange of ideas in our denominational<br />
publications. 3) To find a more effective way of responding to the<br />
numerous requests of churches, <strong>and</strong> especially of the Young People's organization<br />
back home, for definite information about our work. 4) To clarify the<br />
position of Baptists before the Brazilian public<br />
The scope of the work of Atlas News Service has been enlarged to include<br />
radio <strong>and</strong> visual education, just as fast as it is possible to open up these fields.<br />
Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. William H. Berry have recently moved to Rio where he, as chairman<br />
of the Publicity Committee, will make this the center of his activities. Working<br />
with him on the committee are Miss Minnie L<strong>and</strong>rum, Mrs. E. F. Hallock, W. B.<br />
McNealy, <strong>and</strong> T. N. Clinkscales.

The Pathway to Peace in North Brazil<br />
MILDRED COX<br />
The word which he sent . . . , preaching good tidings of peace by<br />
Jesus Christ (he is Lord of all).—Acts 10:36<br />
The Pathway to Peace in North Brazil has been fortified during 1945 by<br />
Baptists as they have witnessed to the saving grace of the Prince of Peace.<br />
Their witnessing has been by personal testimony, by the preached word, by<br />
classroom instruction, <strong>and</strong> by the pen.<br />
During the last three years Brazilian youth offered its life on Italian soil,<br />
Brazilian citizens redoubled their efforts to produce rubber, wax, vegetable oils,<br />
cotton, <strong>and</strong> metals in large quantities for the war effort, <strong>and</strong> Brazilian ports<br />
were utilized as stepping-off places to the European <strong>and</strong> Asiatic theaters of war.<br />
All this, in order that peace might come to earth. But the <strong>forty</strong>-three Baptist<br />
missionaries in North Brazil know that neither armaments nor peace councils<br />
can bring real peace to the hearts of men, <strong>and</strong> so they have earnestly sought<br />
to open up the real* "Pathway to Peace" throughout the North.<br />
Dr. Everett Gill, Jr., with his family, has resided in Pernambuco since<br />
August <strong>and</strong>, with Recife as headquarters, he has visited each one of the fields<br />
in the North in which there are resident missionaries or where mission funds<br />
have been expended. His personal contacts with our Brazilian constituency<br />
have been a blessing to all concerned, <strong>and</strong> his winning personality <strong>and</strong> sane<br />
judgment have done much to strengthen the ties between Baptists of the two<br />
Americas.<br />
In all the centers where American service men were stationed, missionaries<br />
conducted regular worship <strong>and</strong> prayer services in English for them. In Bahia,<br />
Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. M. G. White preached regularly at the Base <strong>and</strong> the USO. In<br />
Recife, the English Bible class on Fridays <strong>and</strong> the Sunday night services in<br />
the Training School chapel were attended by large groups, <strong>and</strong> more than<br />
<strong>forty</strong> men accepted the Lord, as Saviour or rededicated their lives to his service.<br />
We know of two young men who, in these services surrendered to a call to the<br />
ministry. In Natal, Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Tumblin ministered to str<strong>and</strong>ed missionaries<br />
as well as to service men.<br />
THE AMAZON<br />
During the first <strong>six</strong> months of 1945, Mrs. C. D. Hardy stayed alone at her<br />
post, ministering to the sick, especially in poor <strong>and</strong> underprivileged homes in<br />
<strong>and</strong> around the city of Manaos, superintending the Ida Nelson Primary School<br />
of 127 pupils, thirty-four of whom were boarders, <strong>and</strong> mothering the twelve<br />
orphans, housed in her home. The Bible Institute enrolled about fifty students,<br />
all of them promising young people, <strong>and</strong> one of them already doing evangelistic<br />
work. Upon Mr. Hardy's return from a short furlough, he sent Mrs. Hardy<br />
to the United States while he resumed his evangelistic efforts in the launch,<br />
making short trips to nearby stations, enlarging <strong>and</strong> bettering the equipment.<br />
The First Church of Manaos borrowed Dr. Harold Schalley from the seminary<br />
faculty for <strong>six</strong> months. That church has erected a good educational building<br />
<strong>and</strong> baptistry <strong>and</strong> there were thirty-three baptisms. By wise purchasing, Mr.<br />
Hardy acquired property adjoining that which the Baptists already owned, so<br />
that almost an entire city block is now at the disposal of Baptist institutions<br />
there.<br />
PARA<br />
Belem, capital of the state, <strong>and</strong> the rubber port at the mouth of the <strong>Amazon</strong><br />
River, has been very much besieged by different denominations <strong>and</strong> religious<br />
sects. During 1945 it was the center of unusual activity by Baptists. Mr. <strong>and</strong><br />
Mrs. D. P. Sullivan moved into this field in April <strong>and</strong>, in spite of having to<br />
reside in a hotel for months because of the housing crisis, they began their<br />
active ministry in the First Church. This historic church is planning to build<br />
in the center of the city, for the business section has gradually left it str<strong>and</strong>ed<br />
in its original location. Two other churches in the city <strong>and</strong> three nearby can<br />
be reached by train or omnibus, but the other three are five <strong>hundred</strong> miles up<br />
the river In January, Sostenes Barros, a seminary graduate, accepted the<br />
pastorate <strong>and</strong> responsibility of this group of ehurches. He resides in Santarem,<br />
a headquarters city built by there, Southern he travels refugees by launch from U.S.A. to the after other the churches Civil War. <strong>and</strong> preaching<br />
With his
268 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
points. His church at Belterra has almost finished paying for the building<br />
which Ford Rubber Plantation Company erected for them. Two Training School<br />
girls spent their two months' vacation on the field, helping the two pastors <strong>and</strong><br />
one missionary couple to visit the 1,300,000 people of the lower <strong>Amazon</strong> Valley.<br />
MARANHAO<br />
"The way" in Maranhao has been opened up by various messengers of peace.<br />
In the capital <strong>and</strong> through the eentral part of the state, <strong>six</strong> churches with their<br />
numerous preaching points are organized in a state Baptist Convention, due<br />
to their proximity to that center.<br />
Penetrating the deep forest regions <strong>and</strong> along certain streams, the Evangelical<br />
Union composed of English <strong>and</strong> Canadian Baptists have isolated groups<br />
making their definite contribution to the spreading of the Word. Back in the<br />
jungle l<strong>and</strong>s, in <strong>and</strong> near Indian Territory, our Baptist Home Mission Board<br />
has Brazilian missionaries working in churches, primary schools, <strong>and</strong> orphanages<br />
which co-operate with the Tocantins Convention. A Bible School in<br />
Carolina, organized by Dr. Helcias Camara <strong>and</strong> wife—a brilliant, consecrated<br />
young couple who left one of the better churches in the'capital of Rio de<br />
Janeiro to serve in this hinterl<strong>and</strong>—is training young workers for special<br />
service. At the beginning of the year, two girls <strong>and</strong> a boy from the capital<br />
of Sao Luiz made the long trip through the -state to study in that school.<br />
THE NORTHEAST<br />
The three states of Ceara, Rio Gr<strong>and</strong>e do Norte, <strong>and</strong> Paraiba are organized<br />
in one convention. The state of Ceara has never had a resident Southern<br />
Baptist missionary, so our one little church is weak <strong>and</strong> needy. They have a<br />
good lot <strong>and</strong> have accumulated a small fund for building. But a new day is<br />
dawning for the thirty-five members of the church, for in 1946 two missionary<br />
couples will take up residence there, <strong>and</strong> great things should be accomplished<br />
for the Master in this prosperous state.<br />
Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. J. A. Tumblin live in Natal, Rio Gr<strong>and</strong>e do Norte, <strong>and</strong> while<br />
Mr. Tumblin visits the preaching points of our own church of 136 members.<br />
Mrs, Tumblin directs the primary school of fifty pupils. The pastor of the<br />
church is a seminary graduate <strong>and</strong> one of the most promising of our young<br />
preachers, <strong>and</strong> the three teachers are all Training School graduates. A state<br />
evangelist visits towns <strong>and</strong> villages where the gospel is not known.<br />
In the state of Paraiba there are eight churches <strong>and</strong> five pastors, all seminary<br />
graduates. Sr. Zacarias Barros, former pastor in the state capital, this year<br />
moved up into the high plains where flourishing cities <strong>and</strong> villages are destitute<br />
of workers. Supported by the State Mission Board, he is traveling evangelist,<br />
colporteur, <strong>and</strong> missionary to that section. Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. S. S. Stover have<br />
been on the field for only a short time, but they have helped in the organization<br />
of a new church.<br />
The state Baptist school at Joao Pessoa had 180 matriculated. The large<br />
garden <strong>and</strong> the numerous fruit trees planted <strong>and</strong> cultivated by Pastor Firmino<br />
Silva, director of the institution, help to finance its boarding department.<br />
PERNAMBUCO<br />
In this state, over 110 churches with an approximate membership of 10,111,<br />
baptized over 500 during 1945. One of the loveliest church buildings in Recife<br />
was occupied by a small group which split off from co-operation nearly twenty<br />
years ago. Meanwhile, nearby an active, co-operative church of 250 members<br />
was worshiping in a small unequipped building. Through the grace of the Lord<br />
the two groups were united, <strong>and</strong> now one strong church with a beautiful temple<br />
witnesses to the truth in the section of the city called Torre.<br />
In the interior, the church of Garanhuns built one of the most beautiful<br />
edifices in the North at an approximate cost of $7,500. Under Missionary<br />
Johnson's leadership, the church in Caruaru/host to the State Convention in<br />
November, bought half a block of l<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> also a building valued at the same<br />
amount.<br />
RADIO<br />
The Pathway to Peace in the Baptist center of North Brazil has received<br />
new impetus with the thirty-minute radio program called "Voice of Baptists"<br />
each Saturday afternoon. This service is broadcast over Pernambuco's powerful
FOREIGN MISSION BOARD 269<br />
station. Beautiful gospel music directed by Mrs. L. L. Johnson, <strong>and</strong> an evangelistic<br />
message delivered by a Baptist preacher are the attractive features<br />
which have enlisted the interest of many throughout the North.<br />
NEW INTERIOR STATION<br />
In the hinterl<strong>and</strong>, two <strong>hundred</strong> miles from the end of the railway, Mr.<br />
<strong>and</strong> Mrs. A. E. Hayes bought a small farm <strong>and</strong> are living up there where<br />
heretofore Baptists had little work. Thirteen have been baptized in a nearby<br />
river, <strong>and</strong> Sunday school <strong>and</strong> preaching services are held weekly. Mr. Hayes<br />
<strong>and</strong> the evangelist of the State Board visit our three churches <strong>and</strong> scattered<br />
homes of believers in that neglected part of the state.<br />
LANGUAGE SCHOOL<br />
Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. J. B. Underwood arrived in November of 1944 <strong>and</strong> while<br />
studying Portuguese, they directed B.S.U. activities in the American Baptist<br />
College. Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. David Mein came out in June <strong>and</strong>, since he is a missionary's<br />
son <strong>and</strong> knew Portuguese from childhood, he began preaching at once.<br />
Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Raymond Kolb also arrived in June <strong>and</strong>, while studying, have<br />
exercised their musical talents in the various churches. Edith Rose Weller<br />
came in October <strong>and</strong> resides in the Training School while learning the language.<br />
ALAGOAS-SERGIPE<br />
Twenty-five churches have been faithful to their task of testifying to the<br />
Lord's grace, <strong>and</strong> their total membership of 1,312 was increased by 112 baptisms.<br />
The annual institute for the edification of the workers <strong>and</strong> pastors of the two<br />
states was held at Alagoas Baptist high school in September. During the day<br />
there were Bible classes <strong>and</strong> a Bible school for children; <strong>and</strong> at night the open<br />
pavilion was packed with believers from the town.<br />
Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. J. L. Bice have been instrumental in helping Farol Church<br />
to acquire a lot <strong>and</strong> funds to build a new house of worship. The work there<br />
is going forward in an encouraging way.<br />
Under the direction of Dr. Carlos Camara, the Baptist school with a student<br />
body of 559 (including the primary <strong>and</strong> affiliated high school), is a real blessing<br />
to the cause. The teachers, with the exception of one or two, are Christians<br />
<strong>and</strong> the attitude of the students in the daily chapel service is conducive to<br />
worship. Several were converted during the school year. This was due in<br />
part to the influence of the nearby Farol Church whose energetic pastor,<br />
Alberico Souza, is Bible teacher <strong>and</strong> B.S.U. counselor. Miss Onis Vineyard<br />
directs the girls' dormitory with its thirty-five boarders. Miss Ruby Hines is<br />
in charge of the primary department. These two departments are acquiring<br />
new houses during 1946, the former to be built, <strong>and</strong> the latter remodeled from<br />
an adjoining residence, recently purchased.<br />
BAHIA<br />
The "l<strong>and</strong> of the Cacao" is the most prosperous <strong>and</strong> fertile as well as<br />
most accessible of our northern states. Well-to-do farmers <strong>and</strong> merchants<br />
constitute a large part of our Baptist constituency. The two conventions have<br />
100 churches with a total membership of 7,000. In October, the Convention<br />
with which Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. White <strong>and</strong> Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Lunsford work initiated an<br />
evangelistic campaign of gigantic proportions, calling it after Dr. R. L. Scarborough.<br />
A beautiful new house of worship was inaugurated in the town of<br />
Djalma Dutra, having present at the occasion most of the messengers on their<br />
way home from the State Convention. Another church was reorganized in<br />
Pombal with a new building.<br />
Encampment<br />
The fifth annual Baptist Encampment was held in Jaguaquara in February<br />
with 220 average attendance at morning classes <strong>and</strong> approximately 700 for<br />
night services Over 50 people accepted the Lord during the messages of<br />
Pastor Queiroz of Sao Paulo <strong>and</strong> those of missionary Edgar Hallock of Rio.<br />
Student<br />
Luiz de Meneses, a pre-law student, converted in Taylor Egidio in 1944, is<br />
now studying in the capital <strong>and</strong> residing in a boarding-house for students.<br />
His constant testimony has won the attention of his fellow boarders <strong>and</strong> since<br />
school started he has sold <strong>six</strong>teen Bibles.
70 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
Schools<br />
Two state Baptist schools <strong>and</strong> innumerable primary schools annexed to the<br />
churches make their distinct contribution to Baptist life in Bahia. In Taylor<br />
Egidio, Jaguaquara, 510 students, 25 of whom are ministerial students <strong>and</strong> 45<br />
future training school girls, study in the primary or affiliated high school. The<br />
Baptist church has eight Training Unions <strong>and</strong> the best departmentalized Sunday<br />
school in the North. Capable Pastor Carlos Dubois directs the school <strong>and</strong><br />
serves as pastor of the church. His equally talented wife, authoress, dramatist,<br />
musician, <strong>and</strong> teacher, directs the choirs <strong>and</strong> the department of music. In the<br />
state capital, the "Kate White Domestic School" had 111 matriculated <strong>and</strong> 77<br />
in the extension department of Jaguaquara. "The school is overrun with<br />
women, eager <strong>and</strong> interested women, who are not afraid to learn new things<br />
<strong>and</strong> new ideas <strong>and</strong> who are enthusiastic with the idea of service to humanity,<br />
which we try to bring to each class" wrote Mrs. White to the Mission in June.<br />
PlAUI<br />
This long, narrow, inl<strong>and</strong> state covers such enormous distances without<br />
any convenient means of transportation that our three missionaries <strong>and</strong> three<br />
pastors still travel by burro, launch, or an occasional truck. In the capital of<br />
Terezina two excellent churches continue their ministry, one having lost its<br />
pastor to the state of Sergipe this year, <strong>and</strong> the other having as pastor the<br />
veteran Jonas Macedo who, after such long years of service, deserves a helper.<br />
Eight <strong>hundred</strong> miles to the south is Corrente, one of the few entirely<br />
evangelical cities in North Brazil. The Baptist Industrial Institute with 232<br />
pupils, provides courses through the eighth grade, <strong>and</strong> sustains a small orphanage<br />
for twelve little girls. The Institute includes a farm on which some of the<br />
students work to help pay their way through school. From it, students have<br />
gone out to organize about fifteen other primary schools nearby, <strong>and</strong> to open<br />
up preaching points. Eight years ago Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. E. H. Crouch <strong>and</strong> Mr.<br />
B. H. Foreman sent a promising young man out to the coast to study medicine;<br />
<strong>and</strong> now this young doctor <strong>and</strong> his wife are returning to open up a clinic in<br />
Corrente.<br />
NORTHWIDE INSTITUTIONS<br />
North Brazil Seminary, Recife<br />
This year twenty-four students attended classes, eleven taking the Bachelor<br />
of Theology course, ten the graduate course, <strong>and</strong> three doing special work.<br />
The publication of a regular quarterly bulletin for circulation among the<br />
churches was initiated, <strong>and</strong> efforts were made looking toward the organization<br />
of an alumni association.<br />
In May, in an impressive ceremony the foundation stone for the new twostory<br />
building was laid, <strong>and</strong> work was begun soon thereafter. Through the<br />
generosity of the Foreign Mission Board <strong>and</strong> the Woman's Missionary Union<br />
of the South the building will be completed without any debt. It contains an<br />
auditorium with seating capacity for three <strong>hundred</strong>, a library with stack room,<br />
classrooms, as well as officers <strong>and</strong> professors' rooms, dining hall <strong>and</strong> kitchen'<br />
infirmary, president's apartment, eighteen bedrooms, <strong>and</strong> baths.<br />
In November, there were two graduates receiving bachelor's degree <strong>and</strong><br />
Dr. Everett Gill was the special speaker on that occasion. The churches throughout<br />
the North have the custom of dedicating to this institution their fifth Sunday<br />
offerings, <strong>and</strong> Mr. John Mein, president, reported that the 1945 offerings of<br />
$1,800 were three times the amount contributed by Brazilian churches <strong>and</strong><br />
conventions in 1942.<br />
Woman's Missionary Training School, Recife<br />
In the two-year course for which only girls who have finished the high<br />
school are eligible, twelve students were matriculated, <strong>and</strong> twenty-four were<br />
enrolled in the pre-training school course which includes high school work <strong>and</strong><br />
religious subjects. On November 30, four graduated from the higher course<br />
one receiving her diploma by proxy, for she is al-eady at work as a missionary<br />
of the Home Mission Board in Porto Franco, Maranhao. Two afternoons a<br />
week classes were offered to pastors' wives or other women of the Recife<br />
churches who had had no preparation but who wished to study. Fifteen women<br />
completed the year's work. On Sundays the girls go out by twos to co-operate<br />
with eighteen different churches of the city. During the holidays (1944-45)
FOREIGN MISSION BOARD 271<br />
seven served as field workers. They taught seventeen different books to classes<br />
of women <strong>and</strong> girls <strong>and</strong> held twenty-three Bible schools for children. In the<br />
latter they enrolled 2,370.<br />
In June the women's societies observe Training School Day with special<br />
offerings <strong>and</strong> prayer. This year the offerings reached over $600. Part of<br />
this was put into the "Anne Bagby Memorial Fund" which is being raised by<br />
the Brazilian Women's Missionary Union in honor of Mrs. W. B. Bagby, <strong>and</strong> the<br />
interest from the principal will provide scholarships for deserving Training<br />
School girls. Misses Mildred Cox <strong>and</strong> Maye Bell Taylor serve as principals,<br />
elected by a Board of nine ladies, members of churches in the North.<br />
American Baptist College, Recife<br />
President Arnoldo Poggi matriculated almost a thous<strong>and</strong> students in the<br />
following departments: primary (including kindergarten <strong>and</strong> preparatory<br />
grades), high school, <strong>and</strong> junior college. Federal educational laws, detailed<br />
<strong>and</strong>-exacting, were a real hindrance to the development of a deeply spiritual<br />
atmosphere. Dr. Poggi resigned as president in .order to devote more time to<br />
his medical studies; <strong>and</strong> Dr. Alfredo Meneses, former student <strong>and</strong> teacher in<br />
the institution, is the newly-elected president who began his duties on January<br />
first. Chapel exercises <strong>and</strong> Bible classes were held regularly <strong>and</strong> semi-annual<br />
revivals were conducted in the college chapel. Miss Katherine Cozzens is<br />
principal of the primary department <strong>and</strong> was fortunate in having Miss Esther<br />
Blowers to help her with the religious instruction of the children. All the<br />
students are urged to join the educational organizations of the churches.<br />
Capunga Church, located directly across from the college entrance, has as<br />
its pastor Dr. Munguba Sobrinho, one of the ablest preachers in the denomination,<br />
<strong>and</strong> the church attracts a goodly number of the students to its services.<br />
Nearly all the social life of the college is promoted through the church organizations.<br />
During the year twenty-nine students made professions of faith, <strong>and</strong><br />
eleven were baptized <strong>and</strong> received into Capunga Church.<br />
Victories of Peace in the River Plate<br />
ESTELLE COUNCILMAN<br />
Let us follow after things which make for peace, <strong>and</strong> things whereby<br />
we may edify one another.—Romans 14:19<br />
This has been a year of Baptist history-making in the Argentine Mission.<br />
In spite of the political changes, disturbing factors, problems <strong>and</strong> difficulties,<br />
the work has gone forward. From down south, Mr. Bowdler sends this report:<br />
"Catholic action has been persistent, but there has been no open persecution.<br />
Although we should like to see uniformly larger congregations, we do not see<br />
that the adult attendance has been affected^ by adverse propag<strong>and</strong>a.. On the<br />
contrary, probably we are understood better."<br />
In February, at the General -Convention of the one <strong>hundred</strong> Baptist churches<br />
in Argentina, Uruguay, <strong>and</strong> Paraguay, nine other churches asked for membership<br />
in this body. Next year there will be even more, since in all sections new<br />
churches are being organized. "Evangelism <strong>and</strong> Extension" was the keynote<br />
of the Convention, <strong>and</strong> during the year the churches have continued to stress<br />
this phase of the work. The pastors <strong>and</strong> workers are busy with the harvest,<br />
but many large fields in all three of these republics are yet untouched by the<br />
gospel.<br />
SPECIAL EVANGELISTIC CAMPAIGNS<br />
During the year most of the churches hold special evangelistic campaigns,<br />
<strong>and</strong> these services are used of the Lord in the winning of many lost souls.<br />
The Sunday 6 'schools have a Decision Day service at which time many make a<br />
Profession of faith. Most of the Associations have tents <strong>and</strong> these are kept in<br />
constant use by the churches during the summer. As a means of opening up<br />
new work <strong>and</strong> reaching new people, this has produced splendid results. In these<br />
S meetings many hear the gospel, who otherwise would never be reached<br />
ThosTwho make^a profession of faith unite with the church m their section of<br />
the city, <strong>and</strong> if there is no church the small group becomes the nucleus of a<br />
mission which later becomes a church.
272 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
Besides the tent campaigns, the associations sponsor theater meetings,<br />
colportage work, the opening of new mission stations; <strong>and</strong> street preaching is<br />
carried on regularly. The Rosario Association had, as its goal this year, the<br />
conversion <strong>and</strong> baptism of at least two people for every active Baptist, as well<br />
as intensive evangelism to reach <strong>and</strong> lead to the Lord the 1,000 unconverted<br />
in its, Sunday schools. Mr. Hawkins reports that in. one of the theater mass<br />
meetings of this Association there were about 2,000 present. In another<br />
theater meeting sponsored by all the evangelical churches there were about<br />
7,000 present <strong>and</strong> approximately 5,000 were not evangelicals.<br />
When Dr. E. Stanley Jones was here great crowds came to hear him, <strong>and</strong><br />
his messages are still remembered by many. He said: "Seventeen years ago<br />
when I was here, the evangelistic movement was out on the edges of life, but<br />
this time it is in the center. The Latin Americans passed up religion years ago,<br />
but now they want to know what it means for them <strong>and</strong> their countries."<br />
IN THE OPEN AIR<br />
At present we are at liberty to hold open-air services, <strong>and</strong> these are being<br />
carried on in many cities by various churches. One of the churches of Buenos<br />
Aires conducts an open-air Sunday school in a plaza in the center, an hour<br />
before the regular Sunday school session in the church. Thus many new people<br />
are reached with the gospel <strong>and</strong> the attendance at the church Sunday school<br />
A SUNDAY SCHOOL IN ARGENTINA<br />
continues to increase. The missionaries of Tucuman hold open-air Sunday<br />
school in a near-by town in which we do not as yet have a building. Dr. Gillis,<br />
who has charge of the evangelistic work of the Seminary <strong>and</strong> Institute in<br />
Buenos Aires, says: "We have been having this year open-air services every<br />
two weeks, <strong>and</strong> have found these of great help <strong>and</strong> value. This year we have<br />
been conducting these in relation with different churches in the capital, <strong>and</strong><br />
find this method of working with a specific church in some district of the city<br />
of more lasting results than a service held by ourselves alone on just any<br />
street corner that we may select."<br />
BY RADIO<br />
We are glad to report that once again, by radio, we are able to preach<br />
the word to hungering hearts. During part of the year, due to Catholic pressure,<br />
the government did not permit us to broadcast. With the persistent<br />
efforts of the Radio Committee of our Convention this permission has now been<br />
regained. In Buenos Aires there is a splendid station over which gospel programs<br />
are presented every Sunday. This broadcast is sponsored by the Baptist<br />
Convention of the River Plate, <strong>and</strong> each week some of the most outst<strong>and</strong>ing<br />
preachers of the Convention are presented. Also the word is preached by radio<br />
in Rosario, Bahia Blanca, Montevideo, in Saito, Uruguay, <strong>and</strong> in other places.<br />
Our Baptist Publication House is given fifteen minutes on the program from<br />
the Quito, Ecudor Station. This is a powerful station <strong>and</strong> the programs are<br />
heard in many countries. Thus by radio the "Good Tidings of Great Joy" are<br />
proclaimed around the world.<br />
URUGUAY<br />
During this period both Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Orrick <strong>and</strong> Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Sidney L.<br />
Goldfinch were at home on their furlough, <strong>and</strong> Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Carlisle were the<br />
only Southern Baptist missionaries in the entire Republic of Uruguay. At
FOREIGN MISSION BOARD 273<br />
this time they are on their first furlough, <strong>and</strong> also Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. H. B. Ramsour<br />
<strong>and</strong> Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Fay Askew (Argentina). Mr. Orrick sends the following<br />
report: "Fortunately most of the churches were manned by competent pastors<br />
<strong>and</strong> the work went on in a more or less normal way during the furlough<br />
absences. Mr. Carlisle has, during his first term of service, planted in one of<br />
the most difficult sections of Montevideo a church which promises to become a<br />
fine work. We now have three Baptist churches in this city which boasts a<br />
population of at least three-fourths of a million souls. We need a dozen more<br />
Baptist churches in this great city which offers so great an opportunity for<br />
evangelization. How grateful we are for the appointment of Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs.<br />
McMurray to work in this freedom-loving country which offers us perfect liberty<br />
to work <strong>and</strong> preach the gospel.<br />
Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Goldfinch left their great field of Saito <strong>and</strong> surrounding towns<br />
to go to Paraguay to begin a work there. They opened a large <strong>and</strong> promising<br />
work during their first term of service, a field that needs urgently the personal<br />
attention of a missionary couple. A church has been established in the beautiful<br />
city of Saito, <strong>and</strong> promising work established as preaching points or mission<br />
stations in several surrounding places. Brother Charles Tschanz <strong>and</strong> wife, a<br />
fine Argentine couple, have been left in charge of this work.<br />
EDUCATION<br />
The Seminary<br />
The Seminary in Buenos Aires graduated five of the twenty-one students<br />
enrolled this year. These students come from Chile, Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay,<br />
<strong>and</strong> Argentina. Due to limited dormitory space some had to be turned away<br />
again this year, but we are thankful that next year we shall not thus be h<strong>and</strong>icapped.<br />
We are grateful indeed to the Foreign Mission Board for the funds<br />
that have been granted to provide for a larger dormitory for the Seminary.<br />
Those of our Mission engaged in the work of the Seminary <strong>and</strong> Institute in<br />
Buenos Aires during the year are: Mr. W. L. Cooper (now president), Mr.<br />
<strong>and</strong> Mrs. L. C. Quarles, Drs. C. 0. Gillis <strong>and</strong> W. J. Kilgore, <strong>and</strong> Miss Beatrice<br />
Glass.<br />
Training School _^<br />
The Training School, which is also located in Buenos Aires, reports a good<br />
year with an enrollment of fourteen students. This year there was only one<br />
to graduate. As it is near the Seminary, both institutions have the same<br />
faculty, <strong>and</strong> most of the classes are co-educational. They are separate institutions,<br />
yet working together for the same purpose—that of preparing young<br />
men <strong>and</strong> women for places of leadership in our future work. For four years<br />
Miss Glass has had charge of this phase of our work, <strong>and</strong> under her effective<br />
guidance the girls have constantly been employed m some practical activity,<br />
working through the churches of the city.<br />
Bible Institute<br />
The Baptist Bible Institute in Rosario reports another splendid year of<br />
work <strong>and</strong> progress. There have been fourteen boarding students enrolled <strong>and</strong><br />
thirteen dav students. This school continues to be under the capable direction<br />
of MrlAnne SoweSI Margrett. She reports as to the practical religious work of<br />
tLTchool- "TheTe were 12,488 tracts distributed last year 486 conversations<br />
with theunsaved 388 Sunday school classes taught, 1 445 visits made, <strong>and</strong><br />
Tso parte taken iA different organizations. During the fall <strong>and</strong> spring special<br />
courses inctudhig the various phases of the church program, are offered to the<br />
S e of' RosS. An average of fifty attend these classes <strong>and</strong> credit is given<br />
for the courses completed."<br />

attendance grew all summer. The weather was intensely hot, the thermometer<br />
climbing above 100° daily for a month. One afternoon it went up to 109°, so I<br />
asked the women if they didn't think we might suspend our classes until cooler<br />
weather. They said: 'No. It isn't any hotter here than at home.' So we<br />
gladly continued; but from that day on, we did not have another hot Thursday."<br />
—Mrs. Paul Freeman, Tucuman.<br />
GOOD WILL CENTER<br />
The Good Will Center in Mendoza, under the splendid leadership of Miss<br />
Vada Waldron, reports another gratifying year of activity. There are more<br />
than two <strong>hundred</strong> enrolled in the various classes, <strong>and</strong> through these the gospel<br />
is being carried into many homes. A project is under way for a larger <strong>and</strong><br />
better building in order to reach more people <strong>and</strong> to do more effective work.<br />
We are grateful for the arrival of two new missionaries, Misses Sara Taylor<br />
<strong>and</strong> Irene Smith, who, after the period of language study, plan to open up a<br />
Good Will Center in Rosario <strong>and</strong> Avellaneda.<br />
NURSES' HOME<br />
This new project was begun in March of this year by Nurse Miriam Willis<br />
The Home is located in Rosario <strong>and</strong> Miss Willis writes: "We have seven girls,<br />
four of whom are graduates of our Training Schools, two of the other three<br />
have been studying in the Institute while also attending nursing classes. Five<br />
of the girls attend the Red Cross <strong>and</strong> the other two the Assistecia Publica<br />
Nursing School. In addition to their class work, they have been working faithfully<br />
in various churches <strong>and</strong> mission points."<br />
ENCAMPMENTS<br />
The importance of this phase of the work is being realized more <strong>and</strong> mor<br />
<strong>and</strong> plans are under way to broaden out in this line of service. The Cordoba<br />
Encampment, sponsored by Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. V. L. David, has continued to grow<br />
from summer to summer. The results have been most encouraging, <strong>and</strong> each<br />
summer many of our churches send delegates to receive the benefits of the<br />
encampment. In Bahia Blanca each year, during carnival week, there is a<br />
Young People's conference, <strong>and</strong> Mr. Swenson says that last year more than fifty<br />
delegates came from the outside <strong>and</strong> spent three days there during the conference.<br />
Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. J. C. Quarles of Mendoza give splendid reports of the work<br />
of the Young People as revealed in their conference at San Juan. In La Plata,<br />
Montevideo, <strong>and</strong> Rosario other conferences, pastors' retreats, <strong>and</strong> like conferences<br />
are held annually.<br />
BAPTIST STUDENT MOVEMENT<br />
This year has seen the growth <strong>and</strong> development of a new movement, <strong>and</strong><br />
one in which we have experienced many joys <strong>and</strong> blessings. The Baptist<br />
students from our various churches—those who are studying in the universities<br />
<strong>and</strong> secondary schools—have united <strong>and</strong> formed a Baptist Student Organization<br />
with a program of practical activity <strong>and</strong> one that will provide spiritual, social,<br />
<strong>and</strong> cultural development. Once a month a general meeting is held, <strong>and</strong>, in<br />
Buenos Aires, we have had as many as seventy-five students present. They<br />
have also had good meetings in Rosario, <strong>and</strong> it is the hope that in other university<br />
centers this type of work can be organized. What a glorious hope for<br />
the future when there are well prepared, trained, <strong>and</strong> consecrated young people<br />
ready to fill the places of leadership in the days ahead!<br />
PUBLISHING HOUSE<br />
In spite of the many problems faced in 1945, the Publishing House completed<br />
a splendid year. We are deeply grateful to the Lord for his help <strong>and</strong><br />
blessings, <strong>and</strong> for the progress made.<br />
We welcome Miss Mcllroy back to her place of service after a year's<br />
furlough.<br />
Due to the scarcity of printing materials <strong>and</strong> the restrictions limiting the<br />
use of electric power, we still have in the h<strong>and</strong>s of the printer, as the year
FOREIGN MISSION BOARD 276<br />
closes, some nine books, that will come off the press as soon as possible. Among<br />
these books is The Trail of Blood by Dr. J. M. Carroll, translated into the Spanish<br />
by one oi our local pastors. We look forward with much interest to its appearance.<br />
Among the publications of the year are the following:<br />
1,000—Himnos Selectos Evangelicos—(seventh edition)<br />
3,000—Christian Alamaques—this is 20% more than were printed last<br />
year, <strong>and</strong> all these have already been sold<br />
1,000—Inquietudes de Eunice—a fine story by Sra. de Libert, already having<br />
appeared in Sendas de Luz<br />
1,000—Miriam—by Arnoldo Canclini<br />
1,000—Soldados del Rey de Reyes—by Mrs. Una R. Lawrence<br />
40,000—Post cards with Bible texts<br />
10,000—Post cards for Mother's Day<br />
1,500,000—El Faro—Monthly tract for evangelization<br />
200,000—Extra tracts on special topics<br />
1,900—Annual subscriptions to the convention Organ, El Expositor<br />
Bautista<br />
7,000—Annual subscriptions to Sendas de Luz, a Sunday school leaflet<br />
Through the year, there has been a threatening tendency to limit <strong>and</strong> censor<br />
publications; but that danger has more or less disappeared since the close of<br />
the war. Congestion in the post offices <strong>and</strong> the reduced facilities for mail<br />
service to the exterior (fewer boats <strong>and</strong> postal employees), the confused<br />
political situation, <strong>and</strong> general unrest have been cause for deep concern; <strong>and</strong><br />
the political horizon is still quite threatening. In spite of all this, the sales have<br />
reached the highest mark of any year in the history of our work. The colportage<br />
work has been carried on with encouraging results.<br />
Our most urgent need is the new building. In our present quarters we are<br />
so cramped that we are really just "making out." The generous gift from<br />
the 1944 Lottie Moon Christmas Offering already received has been a gracious<br />
encouragement <strong>and</strong> when the remainder comes in we shall be in a position to<br />
establish the Publishing House in a much more advantageous situation. The<br />
conviction grows that we are at the beginning of a new epoch for our publication<br />
work. All the circumstances encourage us to go forward.<br />

In the way of righteousness is life.—Proverbs 12:26<br />
"The work in Paraguay is a living exponent of the missionary spirit of<br />
River Plate Baptists." 1 The Paraguayan Mission is thus a gr<strong>and</strong>child of the<br />
Southern Baptist Convention. At present the gr<strong>and</strong>parent is taking a very<br />
special interest in the gr<strong>and</strong>child; <strong>and</strong> the parents, while maintaining their<br />
interest <strong>and</strong> care of the child, welcome this help from Southern Baptists.<br />
Maximino Fern<strong>and</strong>ez, convert <strong>and</strong> helper of Brother Hart, one of our first<br />
missionaries to Argentina, started Baptist work in Asuncion, Paraguay, in 1919.<br />
The River Plate Convention has continued this work through its Mission Board,<br />
maintaining one missionary couple in Asuncion The three who followed<br />
Fern<strong>and</strong>ez—Pastors Molina, Ermili, <strong>and</strong> Brarda—have done a splendid work.<br />
A strong Baptist church with many outlying preaching points demonstrates the<br />
worth of this continued effort.<br />
At the request of the Mission Board of River Plate Baptists, the Foreign<br />
Mission Board has sent them help for the extension of the work in Paraguay<br />
Mr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Sydney L. Goldfinch, after five years of service in Uruguay <strong>and</strong><br />
one furlough year, arrived in Asuncion October 31, 1945. In December, Miss<br />
Estelle Councilman, after two years in Buenos Aires studying the language <strong>and</strong><br />
helping in the Publishing House, joined them. The group was completed on<br />
December 22, when Miss Miriam Willis R.N arrived having spent two years<br />
in ^Expositor Argentina Bautista, studying April. the 1928.<br />
language <strong>and</strong> founding the Nurses' Home m Rosario.
276 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
Bases are being laid for the extension of the evangelistic work <strong>and</strong> the<br />
field is being studied to determine the areas in which other work should be<br />
begun. The outreach will follow the time-honored example of our Lord <strong>and</strong><br />
his express comm<strong>and</strong>: Preach, Teach, Heal. Preach to a nation just awakening<br />
from the superstition of idolatry <strong>and</strong> perverted religion. Teach in a nation<br />
whose school system is in great need of advancement. Heal where bodies are<br />
wrecked by the disease of generations <strong>and</strong> where death stalks in thous<strong>and</strong>s of<br />
homes which are burdened by poverty, vice, <strong>and</strong> lack of elementary sanitation.<br />
LAND OF YESTERDAY<br />
"O, yes, for it is true that everything, everything of former times wa<br />
better; men, hearts, intelligence, <strong>and</strong> material possessions." 2 Paraguay, queen<br />
of the South, mother of Buenos Aires <strong>and</strong> gr<strong>and</strong>mother of Montevideo, ruled<br />
supreme for three centuries. Then, as a result of the Triple Alliance War,<br />
1870, there came national suicide <strong>and</strong> utter economic <strong>and</strong> moral ruin. After<br />
eighty years the scars are still evident. A Robert E. Lee (at Appomatox) might<br />
have saved Paraguay. Instead, Francisco Solano Lopez, her president, a symbol<br />
of the ultimate in physical courage <strong>and</strong> moral cowardice, led the nation into<br />
ruin at Cerro Cora.<br />
Paraguay, one of the most difficult mission fields today, was once the<br />
of the most flourishing mission work in South America. For two <strong>hundred</strong><br />
years the Jesuit order maintained a mission to the Guarani Indians, which<br />
incorporated about 150,000 of them into organized villages <strong>and</strong> farming communities,<br />
saving them from slavery, destruction, <strong>and</strong> economic exploitation.<br />
"In no other section of Spanish America had a group of missions among uncivilized<br />
tribes arisen to such prominence; in no other was the eventual ruin<br />
so sadly spectacular." 8<br />
TODAY'S OPPORTUNITY<br />
We enter Paraguay when the nation is beginning to respond to the frien<br />
h<strong>and</strong> of her good neighbor to the North. The United States Government maintains<br />
three special branches of help to Paraguay (along with other South<br />
American countries)—cultural, medical, <strong>and</strong> agricultural missions. Young Paraguayans<br />
are sent to the United States to study; hospitals have been built,<br />
clinics established, roads constructed, <strong>and</strong> at present a model farm-dairy is<br />
operating near Asuncion. A National Vocational School is being started. The<br />
United States Government is putting a lot into Paraguay. Shall our churches<br />
allow the motivating forces of life to pass from their h<strong>and</strong>s to the h<strong>and</strong>s of<br />
the State? Must not we bring to Paraguay the great spiritual truths which<br />
have made America the nation she is today? Shall we send them only the fruits<br />
of our spiritual liberty <strong>and</strong> not plant the seed as well?<br />
These government agencies are operated by men friendly to mission ente<br />
prizes. The doors which they open are often left open for us also. A real<br />
program of preaching, teaching, <strong>and</strong> healing, done by true Christian agencies,<br />
will bear fruit in the formation of new churches <strong>and</strong> the changing of many lives.<br />
TOMORROW'S CHALLENGE<br />
Heal! There is a great need for a hospital under evangelical direction<br />
serve <strong>hundred</strong>s of evangelicals in Paraguay (Disciples, Mennonites, Hutterites,<br />
Anglicans, Lutherans, Baptists, <strong>and</strong> interdenominational groups) to provide<br />
excellent nursing, thus setting a higher st<strong>and</strong>ard in this field, <strong>and</strong> to offer<br />
multiple opportunities for personal testimony to the saving power of Christ.<br />
Miss Willis is studying the needs <strong>and</strong> openings for this phase of the work.<br />
Teach! In a personal interview with the Minister of Education we were<br />
assured of his full co-operation in a program for literacy, using the method<br />
worked out by Dr. Laubach, "Each one teach one." Dr. Santiago Villagra,<br />
an ex-priest now serving as director of a government school, is a Baptist.<br />
converted about two years ago. He will gladly work with Miss Councilman in<br />
such a program, including also other phases of teaching <strong>and</strong> instruction. There<br />

are also the great fields of visual education, evangelical book store, <strong>and</strong> child<br />
evangelism, to be included in our proposed educational program.<br />
Preach! Around Asuncion lie important centers to be occupied: Formosa<br />
(Argentina), five hours away; Villa Rica, seven hours; Encarnacion, ten hours;<br />
Concepcion, twenty-four hours (boat, train, or bus provides transportation).<br />
Many suburbs of Asuncion have not yet been reached. At present we are<br />
engaged in an evangelistic campaign in Asuncion which we feel will, under the<br />
Lord's blessing, lead to the organization of another church. Two graduates<br />
of our Seminary in Buenos Aires are joining us soon to help in the evangelistic<br />
work, one serving in Formosa, <strong>and</strong> the other in the new church. Building<br />
programs are also under way. Our policy is to encourage the organization<br />
of churches which assume, from the beginning, a part of their expenses, <strong>and</strong><br />
are led to move forward as soon as possible, to full economic autonomy, selfmaintainance<br />
<strong>and</strong> propagation.<br />
"I AM THE WAY"<br />
L<strong>and</strong>-locked, l<strong>and</strong>-poor Paraguay, surrounded by powerful neighbors such<br />
as Brazil <strong>and</strong> Argentina, looks with pride to the glories of the past while girding<br />
up her loins for the struggle of today in the hope of a more glorious tomorrow.<br />
In that struggle she turns increasingly to her younger sister to the north. In<br />
the help which this sister gives she must not overlook the fundamental inspiration<br />
of her spiritual heritage, a heritage not enjoyed by Paraguay. This wartorn<br />
l<strong>and</strong> will find "the pathway to peace" in the words of Christ, I am the<br />
Way."<br />
A NEW MISSIONARY SPEAKS<br />
Miss Estelle Councilman, a recent appointee to Paraguay, gives us this<br />
insight into the heart of a missionary:<br />
"One has to experience leaving home <strong>and</strong> loved ones to go to a fo J ei & n<br />
country, to know what it is like; but those loved ones left behind, no doubt<br />
suffer <strong>and</strong> bear more than we privileged ones who go forth in His name to carry<br />
the 'good tidings of great joy.' There is nothing in all the world so wonderful,<br />
<strong>and</strong> how thankful I am that I am among that number! All I can do for Him<br />
is so little in comparison to what He has done for me. But my dim light here<br />
in this darkest darkness seems so much. Pray that soon there may be other<br />
lights shining brightly here in the midst of the darkness of sin, superstition,<br />
<strong>and</strong> ignorance."<br />
Regarding Paraguay's need for the ministry of teaching, Miss Councilman<br />
writes *<br />
"Maybe soon we can manage to have a Baptist school <strong>and</strong> especially am I<br />
interested in helping young people prepare to be teacher^.^ey can go<br />
into thP towns of Asuncion (in the.interior) <strong>and</strong> open up schools. In many<br />

278 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
During this year, a supreme effort has been made by Chilean Baptists to<br />
win at least one thous<strong>and</strong> souls for Christ. Statistics are not yet available so<br />
that we may know whether or not this goal was reached, but we do know that<br />
in the <strong>forty</strong>-eight churches, the spirit shown among the pastors <strong>and</strong> workers<br />
has been favorable.<br />
WOMEN'S WORK<br />
Mrs. R. C. Moore, in telling of the work of the Woman's Missionary Union,<br />
says:<br />
"Soul winning has characterized W.M.U. work in Chile during this year, in<br />
a sincere attempt to co-operate in the effort to win a thous<strong>and</strong> souls for Christ.<br />
The Week of Prayer in the fall was used as a campaign to get unconverted<br />
people to read the Gospel of Mark <strong>and</strong> to pray for their conversion. The<br />
evening services of <strong>six</strong> W.M.U. institutes were dedicated to evangelistic efforts.<br />
"We are continually increasing our efforts toward evangelizing <strong>and</strong> training<br />
the children of our homes <strong>and</strong> communities. Through weekly meetings of<br />
Sunbeam B<strong>and</strong>s, R.A.'s, <strong>and</strong> G.A.'s, <strong>and</strong> vacation Bible schools in the summer,<br />
we reach over three thous<strong>and</strong> children with constant Bible training.<br />
"Repeatedly during the year, in institutes <strong>and</strong> associational meetings, the<br />
women have expressed their gratitude <strong>and</strong> love toward the W.M.U. of the South<br />
which so sacrificially sends offerings <strong>and</strong> missionaries, making possible the<br />
preaching of the gospel in Chile."<br />
Miss Ethel Singleton is director of R.A. <strong>and</strong> G.A. work in Chile. She tells us:<br />
"This, our newest phase of the W.M.U. work, continues to grow <strong>and</strong> prove<br />
a blessing. We are grateful to Miss Rachel Colvin <strong>and</strong> the World Comrades<br />
Department for the lovely Spanish certificates sent us. This year we had<br />
three coronation <strong>and</strong> recognition services in which five queens were crowned <strong>and</strong><br />
five more were presented with scepters. We recognized seven Ambassadors."<br />
YOUNG PEOPLE'S ACTIVITIES<br />
Christ did much of his teaching beside the Sea of Galilee <strong>and</strong> the River<br />
Jordan. Chileans, too, have found the beautiful beaches <strong>and</strong> clear-watered<br />
rivers conducive to study <strong>and</strong> soul winning. This has been proved true by the<br />
Some<br />

two encampments held for young people, <strong>and</strong> we feel it will be true of the<br />
other. After attending classes on soul winning, Bible study, methods, <strong>and</strong><br />
listening to evangelistic sermons around the campfires, many of our young<br />
people have accepted Christ, <strong>and</strong> some have dedicated themselves for special<br />
service.<br />
The Sunday School Department, directed by Rev. Howard Bryant, helps to<br />
bring to pass these encampments. The regular activities of these groups are<br />
carried on during the year.<br />
EDUCATION<br />
Colegio Bautista<br />
Miss Agnes Graham, the director of our school in Temuco, reports:<br />
"Colegio Bautista has had a very successful year from the intellectual <strong>and</strong><br />
spiritual st<strong>and</strong>points; for in spite of the soaring costs of living, our four <strong>hundred</strong><br />
students followed their courses in a normal way, not realizing materially our<br />
school's financial crisis. For this we offer a sincere expression of gratitude<br />
to the Foreign Mission Board <strong>and</strong> to the Woman's Missionary Union in its<br />
Lottie Moon Christmas Offering.<br />
"Spiritually we have not been h<strong>and</strong>icapped by the crisis, but we have felt<br />
drawn nearer to Him who knows no crisis. As has been our custom for several<br />
years, we had our fall revival in April. Oscar Docmac <strong>and</strong> his wife—two of<br />
our graduates of the Seminary <strong>and</strong> Training School—led our meeting. The<br />
response to the appeals of these two fine young Christians was splendid. About<br />
seventy-five students took a st<strong>and</strong> for Christ. The second revival of the year<br />
was led by Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. C. H. McConnell. The results of this revival were<br />
equally gratifying.<br />
"The School, in its Bible classes, daily chapel hours, <strong>and</strong> the two revivals,<br />
has made an extra effort to help the churches in their goal to win a thous<strong>and</strong><br />
souls for Jesus in Chile in this centennial year of our Southern Baptist Convention.<br />
May the million souls for Christ be won in the homel<strong>and</strong> as well as<br />
many thous<strong>and</strong>s for him around the world is our prayer."<br />
Training School<br />
Miss Ethel Singleton is directing the Training School activities in the<br />
absence x)f Miss Ogburn. She writes:<br />
"The Training School in Santiago is just four years old. This year we had<br />
eight students, three of whom graduated, making a total of seven graduates<br />
thus fsr<br />
"We were fortunate in having secured the help of Rebeca Portflitt, one of<br />
our first graduates, to serve as secretary <strong>and</strong> librarian. Her influence among<br />
the students has been an inspiration to all. We thank God for her consecrated<br />
life <strong>and</strong> the service she is rendering to the work of the school <strong>and</strong> to the<br />
churches in Santiago. , . . . , „ ,.<br />
"Training School girls are always in dem<strong>and</strong> in the churches in bantiago,<br />
<strong>and</strong>* during their vacations they are busy in Bible schools, encampments, <strong>and</strong><br />
all phases of our work. Their report of practical activities is one of thrilling<br />
experiences <strong>and</strong> untold blessings. We ask your continued prayers as we carry<br />
on this work of training young women for more effective service, especially<br />
among the women <strong>and</strong> children in Chile.<br />
Baptist Theological Seminary<br />
The seminary school year began with five young men <strong>and</strong> one married<br />
couple enrolled in the regular courses. However, one other man <strong>and</strong> ******<br />

RURAL EVANGELISM<br />
The following statement was written by Miss Corneliagrower<br />
"The Baptist Convention of Chile> maintains,ai home mission rk for<br />
evaneelizine some remote sections of this beautiful country. In 194.2, Hermes<br />
Alvafez waf uked to take over the work of a district called Trovolhue. Hermes,
280 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
successful as a traveling evangelist <strong>and</strong> having already organized groups in<br />
several country districts, consented. As this work grew, he felt his need for<br />
further preparation, so he went to Santiago to our Seminary to study. During<br />
these two years, he made arrangements for his work to be taken care of<br />
throughout the winter months; <strong>and</strong> in the summer, he <strong>and</strong> his wife came back<br />
to continue evangelistic efforts. He finished his seminary studies in November,<br />
at the age of thirty-two, <strong>and</strong> returned to take up his task. He had many plans<br />
for the coming year, but he did not live to carry them out. On January 3, 1946,<br />
God called him home suddenly.<br />
"We wondered who would take Hermes' place in such a needy field, <strong>and</strong><br />
thanked God when one of his co-workers, Oscar Palma, a young man also<br />
reared in the country <strong>and</strong> used to the rigors of the evangelistic work, appealed<br />
to the committee to be allowed the privilege of carrying on. Pray for him as<br />
he enters this field, accessible only by walking or by going on horseback."<br />
Here is an excerpt from a letter from Rev. W. Q. Maer who has his automobile<br />
so equipped that he can use with it a loud speaker, moving pictures,<br />
<strong>and</strong> gospel records. He is doing a good work in the rural sections.<br />
"I am holding a meeting up here in the country at San Cornelio, <strong>and</strong> am<br />
making use of my equipment. The weather has been fierce. Yesterday it<br />
snowed 'a plenty,' but today it has cleared up. Tonight is the last night of<br />
the meeting, <strong>and</strong> we have had a splendid one; not only in attendance, but there<br />
have been many to take a st<strong>and</strong> for the Lord."<br />
PUBLICATIONS<br />
Dr. R. C. Moore is head of publication work in Chile. From him we learn<br />
that: "Perhaps no phase of the work has suffered more acutely from the skyrocketing<br />
inflation, than have publications. However, the book store continues<br />
to serve our churches in supplying them with wholesome evangelical literature.<br />
This is attested by the fact that the total volume of sales is greater than in any<br />
previous year.<br />
"The W.M.U. magazine, La Ventana, has the unique distinction of having a<br />
larger circulation than the number of members in the societies in Chile, in addition<br />
to some circulation in Argentina <strong>and</strong> other countries. The W.M.U., with<br />
rare courage, has begun a new program paper for the junior missionary organizations,<br />
La Estrella (The Star)."<br />
God has been gracious to us in all of our work, <strong>and</strong> we are grateful to<br />
him that there is a Pathway to Peace.<br />
ANTOFAGASTA SEEKS THE WAY OF PEACE<br />
J. L. HART<br />
To shine upon them that sit in darkness <strong>and</strong> the shadow of death:<br />
To guide our feet into the way of peace.—Luke 1:79<br />
The year 1945 in North Chile was one in which many found Jesus as<br />
"the Way." It was also a year of preparation in order that many more might<br />
find Him as the only Way of life. Just how many have been saved only God<br />
knows. Some who had accepted Christ, moved away before uniting with the<br />
church, <strong>and</strong> still others are afraid to come out <strong>and</strong> openly join the Evangelicals.<br />
Thirty-five were buried with Christ in baptism. Those who had already found<br />
Christ as "the Way," gave two thous<strong>and</strong> dollars to help others find him.<br />
Other outst<strong>and</strong>ing events in preparation for future work were the purcha<br />
of a splendid property for the Good Will Center; the coming of two young men<br />
from our Seminary in Buenos Aires, to dedicate their lives to the preaching of<br />
the gospel on this physical <strong>and</strong> spiritual desert; <strong>and</strong> last, but by no means least,<br />
the arrival of the Antofagasta Church at the important place of self support.<br />
Many of our members have felt as never before the urgent need of winning<br />
to Christ members of their families, fellow workmen, <strong>and</strong> neighbors. One<br />
earnest woman has already won to the Lord <strong>six</strong> members of her family. Thous<strong>and</strong>s<br />
of tracts have been distributed, many Bibles <strong>and</strong> Testaments sold, <strong>and</strong><br />
more people than ever before have been reached by the gospel.
FOREIGN MISSION BOARD 281<br />
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL<br />
Three Sunday schools have been conducted in Antofagasta <strong>and</strong> four in the<br />
area of the mines <strong>and</strong> nitrate plants. These have had an average attendance<br />
of about five <strong>hundred</strong>. Many of the Juniors <strong>and</strong> Intermediates have made a<br />
profession of faith, <strong>and</strong> are being prepared for baptism.<br />
THE WOMAN'S MISSIONARY UNION<br />
During the past year the Woman's Missionary Union has continued to meet<br />
in groups which now number five <strong>and</strong> which are held at strategic points<br />
throughout the city. The chief emphasis of the year has been on evangelism,<br />
<strong>and</strong> twelve women have been converted <strong>and</strong> baptized through their efforts.<br />
The evangelical zeal has led them to rent a hall where one of the Sunday schools<br />
functions, <strong>and</strong> where a weekly preaching service is held.<br />
The Woman's Missionary Union raised one <strong>hundred</strong> dollars for the China<br />
Relief fund <strong>and</strong> helped two girls in our Training School in Santiago.<br />
The Sunbeam b<strong>and</strong>s, <strong>and</strong> G.A.'s, <strong>and</strong> R.A.'s have been well attended this<br />
year. Lois Hart, with the help of two Woman's Missionary Union members <strong>and</strong><br />
several Y.W.A.'s, conducts this efficiently.<br />
THE GOOD WILL CENTER<br />
Not every year brings great results; some years just sum up to a quiet<br />
steady growth. Nineteen <strong>hundred</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>forty</strong>-five has been such a year for<br />
the Good Will Center in Antofagasta. The school has had an increase in the<br />
number of students matriculated, <strong>and</strong> with many of them we have accomplished<br />
our ideal, that of teaching them to read <strong>and</strong> write well <strong>and</strong> to become acquainted<br />
with the gospel message. Our organizations have also progressed, <strong>and</strong> this<br />
year more of the school children have attended Sunday school, Sunbeam B<strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> Intermediate Union than formerly.<br />
Best of all have been the daily vacation Bible schools which the children<br />
attended enthusiastically <strong>and</strong> which served to reach many children who otherwise<br />
would not have come to the Good Will Center. There was an average<br />
attendance of seventy-four <strong>and</strong> all the teachers did their best to sow the gospel<br />
seed in the hearts of the children who attended.<br />
Lois Hart, with her background of training, has been very busy with her<br />
clinic work, giving injections, healing sores, <strong>and</strong> giving first aid. She oiten<br />
works until late at night <strong>and</strong> is sometimes called out of bed to give an injection.<br />
Colombia in Quest of Peace<br />
GERALD RIDDELL<br />
To give light unto them that sit in darkness <strong>and</strong> in the shadow of<br />
death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.—Luke 1:79<br />
Someone has called Colombia the "L<strong>and</strong> of Miracles," which in many ways<br />
is very true The closest of the South American countries to North America,<br />
he has always refied on the United States for ideas as well as consumer goods.<br />
Though Colombia is one of our newest mission fields, barely .f^ years ?id<br />
miracles have been accomplished under the leadership of God's Holy Spirit.<br />
When Rev <strong>and</strong>T M?s. H W Schweinsberg <strong>and</strong> family arrived in Barranqmla,<br />
thev found not only that city, but the whole nation ready for the evangelistic<br />

^e prfspectffor the future are even brighter as the days pass. Under God'*<br />
leadership, Baptists are on the march in Colombia!<br />

282 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
years old. It is located well, in the very heart of the city, <strong>and</strong> has given<br />
Baptists more prestige than any non-Catholic group has ever enjoyed here.<br />
VENEZUELA<br />
About the middle of the year, definite plans were made to enter the Republic<br />
of Venezuela. Because of government restrictions, it has been difficult, if not<br />
impossible to send missionaries there; but God answered prayer in the person<br />
of Julio Moros, a native of Venezuela, well educated, highly cultured, <strong>and</strong> very<br />
capable. He was brought to Colombia for several months where he studied the<br />
plan of work used by Southern Baptists, <strong>and</strong> was examined closely on his<br />
doctrinal position. He then went back to the capital city, Caracas, to open our<br />
work. In the short time he has been there, a church has been organized, <strong>and</strong><br />
mission work started in other parts of the city. In their need of a pianist,<br />
God answered prayer with the conversion of one of the instructors in the<br />
National Conservatory of Music, who now plays for all the services. One man<br />
gave a piano, <strong>and</strong> another gave a lot in the suburbs to be used for a mission.<br />
God is blessing the preaching of the truth in Venezuela, under the direction of<br />
this consecrated, young, native preacher.<br />
NEW CHURCHES<br />
In June, the Rebolo Church of Barranquilla was organized, with thirty-<strong>six</strong><br />
charter members. It is the second church in this great city. It has a good<br />
building, though much too small, a good school, <strong>and</strong> a consecrated native pastor,<br />
Emelio Zayas. It is well on its way to becoming a self-supporting church.<br />
It is now conducting mission work in three other parts of the city, looking<br />
forward to the birth of other Baptist churches.<br />
In September, Cartagena's second church came into being. Some <strong>six</strong> or<br />
eight years ago a young man, Victor Martinez, employee of an American Oil<br />
Company, was converted <strong>and</strong> began looking for the church of the New Testament.<br />
He could not find it in Colombia at that time, so he began preaching<br />
on his own, paying all the expense himself. Through his labors, a little group<br />
gathered around him, <strong>and</strong> they followed the New Testament as closely as they<br />
could. When the Southern Baptists came to Cartagena, he investigated their<br />
teachings <strong>and</strong> beliefs, <strong>and</strong> found that there was no difference between what<br />
he had found in the New Testament <strong>and</strong> the doctrines preached, <strong>and</strong> the practice<br />
followed by Southern Baptists. After much study <strong>and</strong> prayer, he <strong>and</strong> his<br />
church of <strong>forty</strong>-<strong>six</strong> members voted to declare themselves Baptists, <strong>and</strong> become<br />
associated with the other Baptist churches of Colombia. In the Annual Mission<br />
Meeting, the pastor was elected a native worker, thus enabling him to give<br />
full time to the work. Since then, the church has bought a good lot, <strong>and</strong> the<br />
members are paying for it themselves, while taking care of all local expenses,<br />
supporting their own school, <strong>and</strong> paying a part of their pastor's salary. Someone<br />
has stated that "The Bible turned loose would make Baptists." This is<br />
ample proof.<br />
The churches of Colombia are missionary in spirit. Barranquilla has long<br />
had a mission in a needy section, the building, <strong>and</strong> all expenses being paid by<br />
the natives themselves. In October, the Cartagena churches followed their<br />
example, <strong>and</strong> opened jointly a work in a distant part of the city, where, at<br />
• the end of the year a small, but very faithful group of believers are worshiping<br />
<strong>and</strong> working for Christ.<br />
At Christmas time, the native Christians gave the pastor of the Sabanalarga<br />
Church, Jerommo Ramirez, a horse <strong>and</strong> saddle so his church could start the<br />
evangelization of the villagers around the city. Those who have found the<br />
truth are anxious to tell it to others.<br />
During the year we had two missionary couples, <strong>and</strong> three single ladies to<br />
come to us as new missionaries. Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Gerald Riddell of Texas <strong>and</strong><br />
Mississippi, now serving in Cartagena; Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Ulman Moss of Texas <strong>and</strong><br />
Alabama are in Cali; Miss Caree Spears of South Carolina is in Barranquilla-<br />
Miss Crea Ridenour of Kentucky is in Cartagena; as is Miss Anna Francis Todd<br />
of Tennessee.<br />
STATISTICS<br />
Although figures are dry, <strong>and</strong> sometimes uninteresting, some are here given<br />
to show more definitely the growth of the Colombian Mission.
FOREIGN MISSION BOARD 283<br />
Churches <strong>and</strong> Membership<br />
There are now five organized churches in Colombia. Two are in Barranquilla;<br />
two in Cartagena; <strong>and</strong> one in Sabanalarga. Their combined membership<br />
is about three <strong>hundred</strong>. This does not represent the attendance, which is<br />
many times that figure each Sunday, but those who have made profession of<br />
faith, studied Bible doctrines <strong>six</strong> months, been accepted by the church, baptized,<br />
<strong>and</strong> are in good fellowship with the church. This shows growth of about fifty<br />
per cent for the one year.<br />
Sunday Schools<br />
Each church has a Sunday school, <strong>and</strong> there are also five mission schools,<br />
making ten in all. The response to the Sunday school is good. On a recent<br />
Sunday the missions <strong>and</strong> churches of Barranquilla had a total attendance of<br />
676, those of Cartagena lu*J 238, <strong>and</strong> Sabanalarga had 238, making 1,152 for<br />
the day. That day is very representative. These who have been deprived of<br />
the Bible for so long, love to study its teachings in Sunday school.<br />
Other Organizations<br />
Three churches have Baptist Training Unions, with twelve unit organizations,<br />
<strong>and</strong> good attendance.<br />
Three churches have Woman's Missionary Unions, <strong>and</strong> they are beginning<br />
to organize the various auxiliaries.<br />
Two churches have weekly meetings of the officers <strong>and</strong> teachers of the<br />
Sunday school. One church has organized a Brotherhood. Another has a Youth<br />
Center, sponsored <strong>and</strong> financed by the church.<br />
Church Finance<br />
Colombians make good tithers. They like to give, <strong>and</strong> want to do it in the<br />
scriptural way. They are people who take pride in what their church can do,<br />
<strong>and</strong> want it to do its utmost. A good example is the Central Church of Barranquilla,<br />
the oldest, <strong>and</strong> therefore the strongest, in Colombia. During 1945,<br />
they gave a total of $6,431.26 (Colombia pesos; $4,000 American), or a weekly<br />
average of $123.67. This church has a well-organized budget, a functioning<br />
finance committee, <strong>and</strong> is on sound financial foundations. Of this amount<br />
fifteen per cent went to mission causes. They are ready for self-support, as<br />
soon as a strong native pastor can be found <strong>and</strong> trained for them. The other<br />
churches are in various stages of growth in scriptural giving, depending on their<br />
age <strong>and</strong> financial strength. There are no wealthy members in the churches,<br />
but there are many poor who believe God will bless those who give him a place<br />
in their finances.<br />
RADIO AND PUBLICATION<br />
Two of the most effective means of spreading the gospel are used in<br />
Colombia. For three years "The Baptist Half-Hour" has gone on the air<br />
every Sunday at midday. This program is rendered by members of the Barranquilla<br />
churches, <strong>and</strong> the gospel message is delivered each Sunday by the local<br />
pastor, Rev. S. B. Barrios. Reports from all the country tell of groups that<br />
listen, many of them regularly. It is sincerely attempted to make this program<br />
dignified, powerful, <strong>and</strong> evangelistic, <strong>and</strong> the results obtained show that this<br />
is being accomplished. The last Sunday night in each month, the entire services<br />
of the Central Church are broadcast, as are programs on special days. A<br />
program is desired in Cartagena, but as yet no station has permitted the transmission<br />
of evangelical programs. Soon a program of the same type> wi go on<br />
the air in Caracas, Venezuela, where we are expecting great results from<br />
broadcasting the gospel.<br />
HERALDO BAUTISTA<br />
Th* TTpmldo Bautista or Baptist Herald, is the newspaper, organ of the<br />
BapSt c^urche°s o' ColombTa <strong>and</strong> Venezuela. This paper had a very humb e<br />
hf^nincr hut has reached great proportions. The same format as the state<br />
S s t papers in the^South** hi now eight pages each month, <strong>and</strong> we ar*
284 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
looking forward to increasing its size again, to get the gospel message out<br />
more fully. At present its circulation is something over 6,000, <strong>and</strong> growing<br />
all the time.<br />
SCHOOLS<br />
Each church has its own school. It is not intended that these should be<br />
large, but that they fill the need for primary education of the believers <strong>and</strong><br />
sympathizers. Colombia is a literate nation, <strong>and</strong> there is a public school<br />
system. However, it is inadequate, dominated by the Catholic Church, making<br />
persecution rife, <strong>and</strong> adherence compulsory. For this reason each evangelical<br />
church has its own school for primary pupils. Rebolo of Barranquilla has the<br />
largest <strong>and</strong> best of the schools with a missionary directress, four native teachers,<br />
<strong>and</strong> about 150 pupils. The others have from thirty-five to fifty pupils, <strong>and</strong> one<br />
teacher. These schools are purposely kept small to make it easier for the<br />
churches to assume the support, <strong>and</strong> to be truly self-supporting.<br />
FUTURE PLANS<br />
Though some accomplishments have been realized, they are but the beginning.<br />
There is no limit to the things that can be done. Dr. Everett Gill, Jr.,<br />
our Latin-American secretary, was with the Colombian Mission in its annual<br />
session, <strong>and</strong> helped to lay plans for strengthening the present work, <strong>and</strong><br />
exp<strong>and</strong>ing to other activities in the future. Some of these plans are:<br />
New Work<br />
The establishment of the work in three other cities is planned for the near<br />
future. Already there are missionaries in Cali, studying the language in preparation<br />
to opening the work there. On their return from furlough in May,<br />
Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. A. R. Dailey go to Santa Marta, South America's oldest city,<br />
to open Baptist activities. Late in 1946, Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Gerald Riddell go to<br />
Bogota, the capital, a city of more than a half million people without a Baptist<br />
church, <strong>and</strong> very few people who are not nominally Catholic. Colombia is<br />
ready for the gospel.<br />
The Seminary<br />
Colombia needs trained pastors <strong>and</strong> leaders, but that cails for a seminary.<br />
This we plan to build soon, in Cali, a city of delightful climate, <strong>and</strong> so located<br />
that it can serve not only Colombia but Equador <strong>and</strong> Venezuela as well. Some<br />
funds have already been given for this project, <strong>and</strong> its completion is the<br />
prayer of us all.<br />
The Clinic<br />
A great need of Colombia is an efficient, non-Catholic, non-profit clinic,<br />
not only for charity patients, but also for those who can pay. This project has<br />
been planned some time, <strong>and</strong> as soon as sufficient funds are in h<strong>and</strong>, it will<br />
be started. The location chosen is Barranquilla, <strong>and</strong> a site is being selected for<br />
its construction.<br />
Isl<strong>and</strong> Work<br />
Belonging to Colombia are two isl<strong>and</strong>s, four <strong>hundred</strong> miles off her northern<br />
coast. These are San Andres <strong>and</strong> Providence, which are populated by Englishspeaking<br />
Negroes, descendants of pirates, <strong>and</strong> adventurers of the past. They<br />
have a strong Baptist work, over a <strong>hundred</strong> years old, which has reached great<br />
proportions in size <strong>and</strong> development. Their leader resigned last year because<br />
of bad health, <strong>and</strong> they have appealed to the Colombian Mission to help them.<br />
The mission has petitioned the Board for permission to send a missionary<br />
couple there to help them organize their work, <strong>and</strong> train a strong native<br />
leadership. Rev. C. W. McCullough of Texas has volunteered to go in answer<br />
to their call.<br />
With the development of existing work, <strong>and</strong> the expansion above indicate<br />
to be accomplished in the next months or years, Colombia presents to Southern<br />
Baptists an ever-growing challenge to "preach the word."

VICTORIES AND BLESSINGS<br />
February <strong>and</strong> March have been the two most outst<strong>and</strong>ing months in Baptist<br />
missionary work in this city of Barranquilla. February is considered the hardest<br />
month of the year to keep up a good attendance in the Sunday school, due to<br />
the "carnival."<br />
Carnival—called the season or festival of merrymaking <strong>and</strong> revelry before<br />
Lent, observed especially in Catholic countries—is always considered a difficult<br />
time for evangelical work. Thous<strong>and</strong>s of people, young, old, married or unmarried,<br />
<strong>and</strong> even children fall into all kinds of sin; drunkenness, immorality,<br />
stealing, adultery <strong>and</strong> almost any other evil that one could think of.<br />
This year the Baptist brethren here pledged themselves to work especially<br />
hard during these weeks of temptation <strong>and</strong> hilarious living. Many of them<br />
followed a program of Saturday visitation <strong>and</strong> various other means of presenting<br />
a welcome to Sunday school at nine o'clock on Sunday morning. All during the<br />
months of February <strong>and</strong> March this campaign has been carried on <strong>and</strong>, now<br />
that all have seen the glorious results, they are encouraged to work even more.<br />
The attendance in the Sunday schools began climbing in February. All of<br />
us were praying that the first Sunday in March, being the first day of the<br />
three days of Carnival, would not mean that our attendance would drop. In<br />
some parts of the city, where it is even dangerous for little children to be on<br />
the streets in the midst of such revelry <strong>and</strong> drunkenness, the attendance did<br />
drop some, but in the Central Church the attendance was still larger than on<br />
the previous Sundays. What a note of praise there was in the hearts of all<br />
as we thanked God together that Sunday morning in song <strong>and</strong> Bible study!<br />
In the Central Church, the attendance had gradually worked up to around<br />
200 by the first of this year. The goal for 1946 is 300 in Sunday school,<br />
which school by the way is just three-<strong>and</strong>-a-half years old. Already during<br />
these months of special campaigning <strong>and</strong> praying the attendance last Sunday<br />
(the fourth Sunday in March) reached 284.<br />
The prize class in this Sunday school is the class of young people which<br />
has grown beyond what our faith had anticipated. The last two Sundays there<br />
have been <strong>six</strong>ty-four young people in that department to hear the lesson<br />
taught by their very qualified <strong>and</strong> consecrated teacher, an Italian photographer.<br />
This man has become a member of the church recently but has been a believer<br />
for some time. He was a devout Catholic, but became interested in Seventh<br />
Day Adventism. When he was invited to <strong>and</strong> attended Baptist services, <strong>and</strong><br />
later asked many questions of Pastor Schweinsberg, he became convinced of<br />
the Baptist position, <strong>and</strong> after <strong>six</strong> months' studying in the baptismal classes was<br />
accepted for baptism <strong>and</strong> became a member of the Central Church in Barranquilla.<br />
The wife of this Italian Baptist photographer is a very fanatical<br />
Catholic, but special prayer is being made on her behalf, <strong>and</strong> we hope to have<br />
the joy of seeing this family united in the Lord <strong>and</strong> in His service.<br />
The Baptist Sunday schools in Barranquilla now average around 700 each<br />
Sunday. There are still many sections in this city where there is no witness<br />
for the gospel; but as yet, nothing can be done because of lack of funds <strong>and</strong><br />
lack of workers. We covet the prayers of those who will pray with us that<br />
God will raise up others to help in reaping the abundant harvest of souls here<br />
in Colombia.<br />
HAWAII FINDING THE PATH TO PEACE<br />
Compiled by GLADYS Y. BLACKMAN<br />
This is the way, walk ye in it.—Isaiah 30:21<br />
The engines of war are officially silenced, but battles still go on in international<br />
peace conferences <strong>and</strong> on the labor front. Only to the extent that<br />
Christ dwells in the hearts of men can the world enter upon the pathway to<br />
peace, <strong>and</strong> only when he returns will there be perfect peace Jesus said.<br />
"I am the way," <strong>and</strong> we find him the way not only to salvation, but to peace,<br />
happiness, the abundant life, <strong>and</strong> all that is good in heaven <strong>and</strong> earth. Let us<br />
look into what Baptists ai-o doing to makP known his excellent name in Hawaii.

The Japanese congregation, composed of older people who underst<strong>and</strong> litt<br />
English, has grown in numbers <strong>and</strong> interest during the year. In August, Mr.<br />
Dozier led in a revival meeting that was a blessing to the church. Crowds<br />
came to hear an American preach in fluent Japanese <strong>and</strong> a number accepted<br />
Christ. Contacts have been made through week-night English classes taught<br />
by Mrs. C. K. Dozier which have enrolled eighty people.<br />
Our Sunday school finished the year with an enrollment of 500. The average<br />
attendance was 390, <strong>and</strong> the record Sunday 492. Many races are represented<br />
in the membership, but the majority are of Oriental parentage. Mr. J. W.<br />
Bailey teaches a class for service men with an attendance of from fifty to ninety.<br />
The outst<strong>and</strong>ing work of the Woman's Missionary Union has been the<br />
development of young people's organizations with a total of seventy-<strong>six</strong> enrolled<br />
in the two Young Woman's Auxiliaries, three Girls' Auxiliaries, one Royal<br />
Ambassador Chapter, <strong>and</strong> one Sunbeam B<strong>and</strong>.<br />
Each Sunday the ladies serve luncheon to service men <strong>and</strong> other visitors.<br />
Many write back expressing appreciation of this fellowship. The average<br />
attendance is 130. Three young service men—James O'Connor, Erwin Bennett,<br />
<strong>and</strong> Alv<strong>and</strong>on Taylor—felt the call to preach <strong>and</strong> were licensed by the church.<br />
Other Olivet activities are a Scout program that reaches 120 boys <strong>and</strong><br />
girls, religious education classes in two public schools with 113 enrolled, <strong>and</strong><br />
a vacation Bible school of 215 children. Sunday afternoon groups conduct<br />
street meetings <strong>and</strong> mission Sunday schools.<br />
We greatly need adequate buildings. We have a fine location but are<br />
still housed in warehouse sheds. Major Ralph Buflington, architect of Houston,<br />
Texas, has drawn beautiful plans for new buildings. In spite of the fact that<br />
the church gave $3,500 to missions this year, we have accumulated some money<br />
for new buildings, <strong>and</strong> hope to make a start next year.<br />
Miss Leavell reports: "January 1946 finds the Olivet kindergarten well<br />
into its second year of life <strong>and</strong>, when compared with this time last year, there<br />
is quite a change to be seen. With the end of the war, equipment has again<br />
been on the market <strong>and</strong> orders sent to the mainl<strong>and</strong> are coming through.<br />
In June of 1945, in a very simple graduation program, the kindergarten<br />
issued twenty-four diplomas to its twenty-four graduates. When school opened<br />
in September <strong>forty</strong>-three children were enrolled, <strong>and</strong> though this year's enrollment<br />
is smaller, the average attendance is higher."<br />
WAHIAWA BAPTIST CHURCH<br />
GRACE WELLS<br />
Rev. James D. Belote left in August for furlough, but even in the chang<br />
of pastors the Lord undertook for us. The new pastor, Rev. Tucker N. Callaway,<br />
met the needs of the church in a way that showed he was God's man for<br />
the place. Under his leadership the church has continued to go forward.<br />
The Sunday school has reached out <strong>and</strong> touched more lives; the average<br />
attendance was over 300 with a peak of 446. To meet the growing needs, two<br />
more portable huts were secured to take care of five more classes.<br />
The Training Union has greatly increased its enrollment. Bible study <strong>and</strong><br />
soul-winning have been emphasized. One new union in the Young People's<br />
Department has been organized.
FOREIGN MISSION BOARD 287<br />
The young people enjoy a weekly "Teen Age Canteen" sponsored by two<br />
unions. A program of games, singing, refreshments, <strong>and</strong> Bible study satisfies<br />
a need in the lives of these young Christians.<br />
The various Woman's Missionary Union organizations' continue to give a<br />
missionary emphasis. The offerings to missions have been a concrete evidence<br />
of the interest of the whole church in the missionary program.<br />
The rural extension work is very encouraging. Weekly religious education<br />
classes in two rural schools touch more than 250 children. The young people<br />
of the church conduct three afternoon Sunday schools in the pineapple camps<br />
of the same area. From these groups nearly <strong>forty</strong> have made professions of<br />
faith this year.<br />
Rev. Coleman Clark conducted revival services in October. During these<br />
services more than seventy signed cards, most of them being professions of<br />
faith. There have been <strong>nineteen</strong> baptisms during the year.<br />
Looking to the future, the outst<strong>and</strong>ing event of the year was the purchase<br />
of property adjoining the church—a lot which will provide space for growth<br />
in the years to come. Three houses at present on the l<strong>and</strong> will be removed<br />
when an adequate church building can be erected. Three-fourths of the cost<br />
has already been paid.<br />
Truly we can praise the Lord as we face the coming year.<br />
NUUANU BAPTIST CHURCH<br />
MALCOLM STUART<br />
The Nuuanu Baptist Church saw God's miracle-working power as its housing<br />
problem was solved, <strong>and</strong> as vacancies in leadership were filled. The year began<br />
with the congregation meeting in the old tent <strong>and</strong> being blinded with the dust<br />
or annoyed by rain dropping through the torn canvas. Some of those who had<br />
been won to Christ went away to find an adequate building in which to worship.<br />
Children were kept away from Sunday school. Earnest souls went to God in<br />
prayer concerning these h<strong>and</strong>icaps. The pastor's home was enlarged. Some<br />
seven groups met their each week. In January another tent was secured, <strong>and</strong><br />
with voluntary labor a brick floor was laid, <strong>and</strong> an attractive choir loft, pulpit,<br />
<strong>and</strong> baptistry were built. Later a permit was granted for the building of a<br />
kindergarten house. With the close of the war, materials for a new church<br />
building were released. In November construction on a $20,000 concrete tile<br />
auditorium, with a seating capacity of 460, was begun. In December the<br />
building fund stood at $15,000.<br />
Some thirty recently-baptized Christians prayed earnestly for workers, <strong>and</strong><br />
most of them found, as did Samuel of old, God calling each of them by name.<br />
They answered him <strong>and</strong> accepted places of heavy responsibility. They brought<br />
some seventy-five persons to acknowledge Christ as Lord <strong>and</strong> Saviour. Many<br />
answered God's call into special service, making a total of twelve going into<br />
the ministry, <strong>and</strong> five girls offering themselves as church workers. These are<br />
leaving full-time jobs <strong>and</strong> entering school.<br />
The church membership is now 166. A kindergarten with thirty pupils,<br />
most of whom are from non-Christian homes, was opened in the fall under the<br />
direction of Mrs. Clarabel Isdell McDonald. Ninety-one students attended<br />
week-day religious education classes. The Intermediate <strong>and</strong> Young People's<br />
Unions reached the st<strong>and</strong>ard. The Woman's Missionary Union reports <strong>forty</strong><br />
unevangelized children reached by the Y.W.A. The Lottie Moon Christmas<br />
offering amounted to $650.<br />
KAUAI<br />
COLEMAN D. CLARK<br />
Our work on the isl<strong>and</strong> of Kauai is centered about the Waimea Baptist<br />
Church which meets in a rented store building in Kekaha. As a result of a<br />
revival meeting led by Rev. Malcolm Stuart, <strong>and</strong> the continued evangelistic<br />
effort throughout the year, the addition of eight souls brought the membership<br />
to seventy-seven. We have 107 enrolled in the Sunday school, <strong>and</strong> thirty-seven<br />
in the more recently organized B.T.U. It is hoped that the W.M.U. organizations<br />
may be better established in 1946. While the church was without a pastor for<br />
over three months, after the departure of Dr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Charles A. Leonard to
288 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
Hilo in August, several consecrated young service men assisted in the work by<br />
giving freely of their time <strong>and</strong> talents.<br />
In September, upon the coming of Miss Cecile Lancaster <strong>and</strong> her mother.<br />
a new enthusiasm Was evident <strong>and</strong> they cheered <strong>and</strong> strengthened the church<br />
immeasurably. November brought the new pastor, Rev. Coleman D. Clark, who<br />
was followed a month later by his wife <strong>and</strong> two sons when temporary housing<br />
became available, A new missionary residence is under construction <strong>and</strong> will<br />
be of great value to the work when completed.<br />
KAHULI BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOL GROUP<br />
One of the greatest challenges is in religious education. At three schools<br />
located in Mana, Kekaha <strong>and</strong> Waimea, the Bible is taught in week-day classes<br />
to students of grammar <strong>and</strong> high school ages. Present facilities are inadequate,<br />
but pupil response is inspiring <strong>and</strong> prospects for the future are great.<br />
A most encouraging activity of the church is one among the Japanesespeaking<br />
people who now have a full-time evangelist, Mr. Shintaru Itokazu,<br />
to lead them. Their spiritual zeal is shown partly in the support of a mission<br />
among relatives <strong>and</strong> friends at Kapaa. The seed is being sown, <strong>and</strong> the laborers<br />
are deserving of much prayer.<br />
Perhaps the climax of the year's work was the Christmas programs presented<br />
at Mana <strong>and</strong> Waimea in their community halls. The fact that our rented<br />
store could have held neither congregation seemed to magnify our greatest<br />
single, physical need—a church building. A lot has been purchased, <strong>and</strong> a<br />
fund started. It is hoped that ground may be broken next year toward the<br />
erection of this house of God, in which the sacrifices of thanksgiving of his<br />
people may be humbly <strong>and</strong> gratefully given.<br />
MAUI<br />
HANNAH PLOWDEN<br />
Southern Baptists entered Maui as a mission field in September, 1944. At<br />
that time we already had a house as a meeting place. A Sunday school had<br />
been organized by a fine Baptist layman, Daniel Ongais. There was also a<br />
high school girl on the Isl<strong>and</strong> who had become a member of Olivet while living<br />
temporarily in Honolulu.<br />
Work has developed in Kahului as the main center, in Puunene, Makawao,<br />
Sprecklesville, <strong>and</strong> most recently in Lahaina. There are religious education
FOREIGN MISSION BOARD 289<br />
classes in two grammar schools <strong>and</strong> in Baldwin High School. There are Sunday<br />
schools in Kahului <strong>and</strong> Makawao, <strong>and</strong> two Bible classes reaching people above<br />
school age.<br />
On April 22, 1945, the Kahului Baptist Church was organized with twentyseven<br />
members. Dr. J. T. Williams was present <strong>and</strong> preached the dedicatory<br />
sermon. Since that time the membership has increased to <strong>forty</strong>^<strong>six</strong>. Although<br />
most of the members live in Kahului, there are from one to ten in each of the<br />
mission centers. Rev. Edwin Dozier has been acting pastor, visiting the church<br />
occasionally <strong>and</strong> carrying on a ministry for Japanese-speaking people. Regular<br />
Sunday morning services have been conducted by four splendid Baptist Marine<br />
chaplains. The other services of the church are conducted by the missionaries.<br />
The work in Maui was fortunate at the beginning in securing the use of<br />
public halls for its activities. That has proven a mixed blessing in that it<br />
gives to the work a sense of being merely temporary. As soon as the church<br />
can buy l<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> build, there will be a feeling of security <strong>and</strong> permanence.<br />
The building fund has grown steadily, <strong>and</strong> with the usual aid of the Board to<br />
a mission church, we shall be ready to build as soon as a suitable lot is obtained.<br />
God, in his providence, saw fit to send to the field, in October, 1945, a fine<br />
new worker, Miss Bertie Lee Kendrick. We urgently need a missionary pastor<br />
<strong>and</strong> his wife to give full time to the work. We trust God <strong>and</strong> Southern Baptists<br />
to meet that need. Hitherto the Lord has led us. We trust him for the<br />
tomorrows.<br />
HAWAII<br />
CHARLES A. LEONARD<br />
The 70,000 residents of this, the Big Isl<strong>and</strong>, consist of Japanese, Hawaiians,<br />
Filipinos, Porto Ricans, Portuguese, Chinese, <strong>and</strong> Caucasians other<br />
than those already mentioned the order is in point of numbers. Baptist work<br />
centers in Hilo which has a population of 28,000 <strong>and</strong> is the second largest city<br />
of the Territory.<br />
Since there was no group with whom we could begin here, it has been<br />
necessary to start with the opening of Bible classes <strong>and</strong> Sunday schools, weekday<br />
religious education classes, centers for preaching, <strong>and</strong> general gospel broadcasting.<br />
Three Sunday schools have been started, the enrollment of each<br />
ranging from twenty-five to <strong>forty</strong>. Three religious education classes have been<br />
opened here in Hilor <strong>and</strong> two in neighboring towns. The total attendance of<br />
125 is on the. increase.<br />
At two places where preaching services are held, thirty-five have accepted<br />
the Lord, but none is yet ready for baptism. A public address system makes<br />
possible preaching to large numbers in the parks <strong>and</strong> in needy neighboring<br />
towns. Missionary addresses <strong>and</strong> other assistance is given the few evangelical<br />
groups on the Isl<strong>and</strong>. At the close of a service in a principal town, <strong>six</strong>teen<br />
young people dedicated their lives to Christian work. Many thous<strong>and</strong>s of<br />
gospel tracts <strong>and</strong> booklets have been distributed, along with <strong>hundred</strong>s of New<br />
Testaments for service men. It is a pleasure to entertain some of these men<br />
in our home.<br />
Dark heathenism on these isl<strong>and</strong>s is as rank as in Japan or China, <strong>and</strong> the<br />
ignorance regarding God's Word <strong>and</strong> what it means to be a Christian is<br />
appalling. Some of the situations we meet are hard <strong>and</strong> discouraging, but<br />
those who have become Christians give promise <strong>and</strong> encouragement.<br />
The assistance of a Christian layman who speaks Japanese, <strong>and</strong> the help of<br />
Miss Lila Watson, who came recently on her way to China, are much appreciated;<br />
but we need other missionaries to work permanently here <strong>and</strong> elsewhere<br />
on the Big Isl<strong>and</strong>. Another need is a suitable building as a center of work<br />
in Hilo, <strong>and</strong> a missionary residence. Join us in prayer for these, <strong>and</strong> especially<br />
for the salvation of the people, who so greatly need the Lord.<br />
UNIVERSITY AVENUE MISSION<br />
MAURICE ANDERSON<br />
After working with the Sunday school <strong>and</strong> Baptist Training Union of Olivet<br />
Church for a few months, Dr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Anderson <strong>and</strong> Miss Thomas organized<br />
a Sunday school in the Bible School building at the morning worship hour.<br />
This is recognized as a mission of Olivet Church. A few months later they<br />
resigned their responsibilities at Olivet to develop the new mission.
290 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
Throughout 1945, the Sunday school attendance increased from fifteen to<br />
<strong>six</strong>ty-three. The average attendance is now <strong>six</strong>ty. Twenty-five have accepted<br />
Christ. Several who were baptized in August, 1945, are now teachers <strong>and</strong><br />
leaders. A strong B.Y.P.U. has been organized. Sunbeams, G.A.'s <strong>and</strong> Brownies<br />
meet every week. Worship services, morning <strong>and</strong> evening, are well attended.<br />
A mid-week prayer meeting <strong>and</strong> Bible study is followed each week by a social<br />
time.<br />
Several friends on the mainl<strong>and</strong> have sent contributions to the work. The<br />
budget of $1,800 for 1946 is being met by the group.<br />
We are using all available space. Manoa Valley, which we serve, has over<br />
15,000 residents; Pray with us that an adequate building may be secured for<br />
what will soon be the University Avenue Church.<br />
WAIPAHU MISSION<br />
MAURICE ANDERSON<br />
In October, with the help of the Bible School students, young converts<br />
from the University Avenue'Mission, Chaplain John McGraw, <strong>and</strong> some soldiers<br />
from Schofield, a Sunday school was opened in this sugar-mill town of 10,000<br />
population.<br />
The town is open to the gospel, but a place to meet or for a worker to<br />
live is hard to find. We secured a school auditorium where meetings are held.<br />
The average attendance has been thirty-eight. I. L. McDougle, a Bible<br />
student, is making a fine leader. We expect to develop one of our strongest<br />
churches there.<br />
MOLOKAI<br />
EDWIN DOZIER<br />
Molokai, the latest isl<strong>and</strong> to be entered by Southern Baptists, boasts the<br />
first Hawaii Baptist Convention missionaries—Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. R. K. Gonder.<br />
This couple (Canadian Baptists) gave up their charge on Kauai <strong>and</strong> started<br />
their work on the Friendly Isl<strong>and</strong> about the first of May. They have plans<br />
for moving surplus army buildings to a highly desirable leasehold lot. Religious<br />
education classes in the high school <strong>and</strong> three grade schools are yielding results.<br />
Sunday school <strong>and</strong> the morning <strong>and</strong> evening worship services are conducted on<br />
the Lord's Day, while on Friday nights there is a well-attended Bible study<br />
class for young people. The husb<strong>and</strong> of our pioneer Christian was the only<br />
one baptized in 1945. Good will <strong>and</strong> interest in the work are developing so<br />
that we are confident of a greater yield during the coming year.<br />
BAPTIST BIBLE SCHOOL<br />
MAURICE ANDERSON<br />
Opening its fifth session in September, 1945, with Missionary Tucker Call<br />
way as speaker, the Bible School enrolled approximately 130 part-time <strong>and</strong><br />
five full-time students.<br />
The administrative staff is as follows: president <strong>and</strong> dean, Dr. Maurice<br />
Anderson; Miss Miriam Thomas, dean of women, registrar, <strong>and</strong> treasurer;<br />
Rev. Edwin Dozier, dean of men <strong>and</strong> librarian. In addition to the above, Rev.<br />
Malcolm Stuart, Rev. Victor Koon, Mr. Homer McDonald, Mrs. C. K. Dozier,<br />
Miss Cornelia Leavell, <strong>and</strong> Miss Virginia Mathis teach.<br />
Of the full-time students two are young ladies of Japanese ancestry from<br />
Hawaii, <strong>and</strong> the three men are from Maui, Ohio, <strong>and</strong> Florida. The part-time<br />
students consist of approximately <strong>six</strong>ty adults of Japanese ancestry who are<br />
studying Spoken English under Mrs. C. K. Dozier. The others are Japanese,<br />
Chinese, Negro, <strong>and</strong> Caucasian either in or out of the armed services. Practically<br />
all engage in church or Bible School directed activities in Sunday school,<br />
personal work, <strong>and</strong> street evangelism.<br />
We look toward the future with high hopes since the Board has approved<br />
the enlargement <strong>and</strong> development of the school into a junior college <strong>and</strong> Bible<br />

BEGINNING A CENTURY WITH CHRIST<br />
"And ye shall know the truth, <strong>and</strong> the truth shall make you free" (John<br />
8:32).<br />
Aristotle, over two thous<strong>and</strong> years ago. made a survey of the whole field<br />
of knowledge of his day. If he were here now he would be perfectly at home<br />
with our statesmen in discussing government <strong>and</strong> politics. In these fields there<br />
has been very little change in the fundamental principles, but if he should<br />
meet with a group of present-day scientists he would be completely lost. He<br />
would not know what they were talking about because science has gone far<br />
beyond anything ever dreamed of in the day of Aristotle—astronomy, biology,<br />
physics, psychology, chemistry, radar <strong>and</strong> atomic energy have given <strong>and</strong> are<br />
giving to us a world view incomprehensible to the age of Aristotle.<br />
The world we live in today is the world science has given us. The social<br />
order of the present world has been created by science <strong>and</strong> not by political<br />
economy. In the world of tomorrow the changes that will take place in our<br />
way of living will come to us as the result of these new developments. Governments,<br />
international relations, world-policy <strong>and</strong> everyday living must adjust<br />
to meet the big changes that are coming in the world of tomorrow as the<br />
result of the advance in science <strong>and</strong> invention.<br />
Our mission work cannot escape the changes in the new age. The foundation<br />
principles on which our present social order is based will be re-arranged<br />
<strong>and</strong> human relationships re-adjusted so that individual, national, <strong>and</strong> international<br />
life will be given a new pattern. "War, however horrible as it may<br />
be", says Dr. Charles M. A. Stein, Vice President in charge of Research for<br />
Dupont, "is nevertheless a catalyst that speeds up progress. We emerged from<br />
the First World War a new nation. From that war we developed a chemical<br />
industry, the radio <strong>and</strong> mass production, so now the pressure of war is compressing<br />
into the space of months developments that might have taken us half<br />
a century to realize if necessity had not forced the pace."<br />
The wonderful changes which are taking place, <strong>and</strong> will take place in our<br />
world, are a challenge to us for the future. The new day now dawning will<br />
shed its light to all of our institutions <strong>and</strong> will reveal needs <strong>and</strong> tasks unknown<br />
to former periods. Our denominational work of every sort <strong>and</strong> kind, yea, our<br />
[ 306 ]<br />
churches themselves cannot escape the dem<strong>and</strong> of this coming day. Our<br />
methods of approach, the types of work we are doing <strong>and</strong> the way we are<br />
working must all submit to searching surveys which may «reveal the need for

radical changes In ewer work. Methods @€ approach <strong>and</strong> ways of doing things<br />
are not inspired. The Gospel we preach is inspired <strong>and</strong> the goal we work<br />
towards is divinely given. Tfeese earanot cfearagev<br />
THE STARTING POINT FOB TOMORROW<br />
Every generation begins its march of progress from its own campground.<br />
The churches of today must meet the issues of tomorrow by traveling with<br />
Christ towards tomorrow. They travel from where they are.<br />
In our Home Mission work we recognize this fact <strong>and</strong> assume the responsibility<br />
of lighting the way into the larger field of mission service. The Home<br />
Mission Board recognizes that it is an agency of this Convention <strong>and</strong> has no<br />
prerogatives or powers apart from those delegated to it by this Contention. It<br />
feels, however, unless it has misunderstood the purpose for which it was<br />
created, that its task is larger than that of administering the money given to it<br />
for the various fields <strong>and</strong> projects generally understood <strong>and</strong> accepted as Home<br />
Mission work. Its task includes also a study of religious conditions <strong>and</strong> needs<br />
in the bounds of the Convention, with the purpose of keeping the Convention<br />
informed as to its task as a missionary agency in evangelizing the homel<strong>and</strong>.<br />
It st<strong>and</strong>s to reason that in a changing social <strong>and</strong> economic order there must<br />
be constantly arising new fields for mission activity <strong>and</strong> new conditions which<br />
would necessitate changes in methods of approach <strong>and</strong> types of work, possibly,<br />
in some instances, a complete readjustment if not an ab<strong>and</strong>onment of certain<br />
projects in the field heretofore occupied. Southern Baptists must meet in their<br />
mission work the needs of a growing <strong>and</strong> changing civilization.<br />
Nothing should be done simply because it has been done through all the<br />
years; it should be done because it is needed in the evangelization of the<br />
homel<strong>and</strong>. This will necessitate the making of surveys <strong>and</strong> the gathering of<br />
data on the Home Mission tasks of this Convention; <strong>and</strong> we want you to know<br />
that we consider ourselves a board of investigation <strong>and</strong> study on Home Mission<br />
work as well as a board for the administration of Home Mission funds. We<br />
face the eternal, unfolding, revealing, challenging future <strong>and</strong> looking to the ?<br />
hills from whence cometh our strength, we gird our loins for a forward looking<br />
program of Home Missions, traveling with Christ towards tomorrow.<br />
If we would really underst<strong>and</strong> the Home Mission task we must know what<br />
the homel<strong>and</strong> is, for Home Missions is world-wide missions modified by <strong>and</strong><br />
adapted to the needs, conditions <strong>and</strong> life of the homel<strong>and</strong>; it is the first step<br />
<strong>and</strong> the continuous requisite in the world-wide Gospel movement.<br />
The homel<strong>and</strong> is not a matter of geography, simply. O, there is, of course,<br />
a geographical homel<strong>and</strong> bounded <strong>and</strong> defined by degrees of latitude <strong>and</strong> longitude,<br />
but the geographical homel<strong>and</strong> only fixes the bounds of the real homel<strong>and</strong>.<br />
All our rivers, the lakes, hills, valleys <strong>and</strong> forests were here thous<strong>and</strong>s of<br />
years before the white man's foot ever touched our soil, <strong>and</strong> if on some fatal<br />
night a plague were to smite our people, our plains would remain, our rivers<br />
would run on as before <strong>and</strong> our forests would wave to the breezes, but our<br />
homel<strong>and</strong> would be gone.<br />
Our homel<strong>and</strong> is the human conditions found in the homel<strong>and</strong> territory;<br />
it is the fifty million people <strong>and</strong> all they are interested in: their railroads,<br />
their cities, their homes, their papers, their books, their churches, their factories,<br />
their stores, their schools; every institution <strong>and</strong> every enterprise into<br />
which they have thrust their lives. These fifty million people are held together<br />
by an unfathomable spirit of unity. There is something common to them<br />
all. They thrill with pride at the recounting of the past history of their<br />
country <strong>and</strong> they glow with enthusiasm when the future of their country is<br />
dwelt upon. They are grouped with an invisible oneness <strong>and</strong> bound together<br />
by the bonds of civic pride <strong>and</strong> patriotism. Home Missions is the fitting of the<br />
Gospel of Jesus into their life <strong>and</strong> through the Gospel the making of the life *<br />
of Jesus triumphant over it all.<br />

privileged elevated, the waste places made to bloom, there will result a new<br />
conviction about Home Missions that will forever change our missionary<br />
horizon <strong>and</strong> will hurl us out into renewed endeavor for the evangelization <strong>and</strong><br />
Christianization of our own l<strong>and</strong>.<br />
THE CALL OF HOME MISSIONS<br />
The call of Home Missions is not the appeal of sectarianism; it is rather<br />
the challenge of a great fundamental truth. From the vantage of present<br />
outlook the homel<strong>and</strong> is not simply the residence of me <strong>and</strong> my wife, my son,<br />
John, <strong>and</strong> his wife, us four <strong>and</strong> no more; it is the familiar base of worldreaching<br />
operations. The task of Home Missions, operating from this base, is<br />
to harness^his spiritual world-energy to a world-need; it is to grasp the leverage<br />
for the world's uplift offered in the evangelization <strong>and</strong> Christianization of a<br />
great people.<br />
We are thinking now of the kingdom place, task <strong>and</strong> responsibility of the<br />
Home Mission Board. Southern Baptists are in a great kingdom campaign.<br />
Christ has given them a world task. This task cannot be accomplished by a<br />
series of isolated attacks, nor by a campaign waged by disconnected divisions;<br />
it can be accomplished only by <strong>and</strong> through the preaching of the Gospel at home<br />
<strong>and</strong> abroad by the whole denomination. It is the united forces of King Immanuel<br />
carrying out His imperial comm<strong>and</strong> to make disciples of all nations.<br />
The strategic point of approach to this world task is the homel<strong>and</strong>. Keep the<br />
homel<strong>and</strong> evangelized <strong>and</strong> mobilized for service <strong>and</strong> we have the hope <strong>and</strong> the<br />
assurance of a world's evangelization. Let the Apostolic faith perish from<br />
the homel<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> our mission to l<strong>and</strong>s afar will fail.<br />
THE EVANGELIZATION OF AMERICA<br />
To evangelize America means more than sending out missionaries, establishing<br />
mission stations <strong>and</strong> making <strong>and</strong> baptizing disciples. These are all<br />
fundamentally important <strong>and</strong> essential, but they are not by any means all that<br />
we are to do if we would Christianize America. Even though all the places<br />
on the map of America were filled tomorrow with missionaries <strong>and</strong> mission<br />
stations, our task would not have been completed. Every province of our thinking,<br />
every area of our lives, every region of our relation to others <strong>and</strong> of<br />
others' relation to us must be taken for Christ. The whole life of the nation<br />
through its entire civilization must be brought under the sovereignty of Christ.<br />
To Christianize America, therefore, means to bring the civilization of<br />
America under the sovereignty of Christ; it means to bring Christian influences<br />
to bear on the emigrant populations in our industrial centers, to help racial<br />
<strong>and</strong> underprivileged groups to realize the life of Christ; to build virile, vital,<br />
functioning New Testament churches throughout the l<strong>and</strong>; to develop a'Christ<br />
tian community life in cities <strong>and</strong> in country; to fence against the inroads of<br />
spiritual disintegration; to generate spiritual enthusiasm <strong>and</strong> to transfuse all<br />
the life forces of America with the spiritual potencies of the kingdom of God.<br />
The Home Mission Board has ambitious plans for the coming century. The<br />
Board believes that there should be no needy micsion field in the homel<strong>and</strong><br />
either only partially entered or wholly untounched. It is the purpose of the<br />
Board to completely evangelize the homel<strong>and</strong>; to fully occupy the fields where<br />
it is now at work <strong>and</strong> also to enter fields which are now unoccupied.<br />
THE MAN WITHOUT A CHANCE<br />
I am thinking now of the man without a chance—the man where there<br />
are no churches <strong>and</strong> where the Gospel of Jesus Christ is never preached. There<br />
are millions of these unchurched men <strong>and</strong> women in our homel<strong>and</strong> men <strong>and</strong><br />
women who live on the outside of the circumference <strong>and</strong> beyond the reach of<br />
the influence <strong>and</strong> work of our churches—men <strong>and</strong> women wholly without a<br />
chance.<br />
Some of these are foreigners cut off by language barriers; some are among<br />
the underprivileged in our cities <strong>and</strong> industrial centers; some are tenant farmers<br />
who are segregated by poverty; some are migrant workers the nature of whose<br />
work consigns them to spiritual isolation; some who live in sections beyond
HOME MISSION BOARD 309<br />
the reach of the administration, <strong>and</strong> service of any of our churches; <strong>and</strong> some<br />
are Negroes struggling under a racial <strong>and</strong> traditional h<strong>and</strong>icap—in these<br />
groups there are millions in our homel<strong>and</strong> completely <strong>and</strong> hopelessly without<br />
a chance, <strong>and</strong> who will live <strong>and</strong> die wii.-b.out having heard about the saving<br />
grace <strong>and</strong> love of Jesus Christ unless we send missionaries to them. The present<br />
missionary program of our churches will never reach them. The Home Mission<br />
Board has those spiritually marooned ones in its mission schedule.<br />
THE MAN FROM OTHER LANDS<br />
In the world of tomorrow, under the new <strong>and</strong> improved methods of transportation<br />
<strong>and</strong> communication, the people in l<strong>and</strong>s afar to whom we are sending<br />
missionaries will begin to inquire about how we are treating the nationals who<br />
have come from their l<strong>and</strong> to our l<strong>and</strong>. The Africans in Africa will want to<br />
know how we are treating the Africans in America. They will want to know<br />
whether we are giving these brothers in black, who were taken away from their<br />
country, their loved ones <strong>and</strong> their friends years ago, the Gospel of the Lord<br />
Jesus. While we are therefore spending thous<strong>and</strong>s of dollars to build<br />
schools, hospitals <strong>and</strong> churches to save the Negroes in Africa, let us not forget<br />
the eleven million Negroes in our own l<strong>and</strong>.<br />
Methinks the Chinese in China will want to know how we are treating the<br />
Chinese in America, <strong>and</strong> they have a right to know. Are we as interested in<br />
the seven thous<strong>and</strong> five <strong>hundred</strong> Chinese living in the territory of our Convention<br />
<strong>and</strong> the many thous<strong>and</strong>s who will come to our l<strong>and</strong> now since the war<br />
is over, as we are in the thous<strong>and</strong>s in China? Let us not forget China. Let<br />
us send missionaries by the shipload to this great country in Asia, but let us also<br />
remember the Chinese in our homel<strong>and</strong>.<br />
So is it with all the other groups. Our compassion for the lost because<br />
they are lost should motivate our mission work at home <strong>and</strong> abroad. The Mexicans<br />
this side the Border, a million of them, should have the Gospel preached<br />
to them. There should not be a single community or a group of any size along<br />
the entire Border, from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean, without a<br />
chapel <strong>and</strong> a missionary.<br />
MAKING CHRIST AVAILABLE<br />
If Christ died for all, then we should make Christ available for all. This<br />
is true of the four <strong>hundred</strong> thous<strong>and</strong> Italians in our l<strong>and</strong>. It is also true of<br />
the seven <strong>hundred</strong> <strong>and</strong> fifty thous<strong>and</strong> French-speaking Americans in South<br />
Louisiana. It is true of the Indians from whom we took this country. It is<br />
true of every group from every l<strong>and</strong>.<br />
The Home Mission Board is planning to do something about this missionary<br />
need. It is planning to carry t.he Gospel to all those groups <strong>and</strong>, if Southern<br />
Baptists continue, as we know they will, to give adequate support to the Home<br />
Mission Board, the Board pledges itself to ultimately blanket our homel<strong>and</strong><br />
with the Gospel so that there will not be anywhere in our l<strong>and</strong> a man without a<br />
chance.<br />
The world we will live in tomorrow will be a new world. Men the world<br />
over will think differently <strong>and</strong> all the conditions under which they live will be<br />
changed. Transportation <strong>and</strong> communication will make the world one neighborhood.<br />
The people of the various nations will travel from continent to continent<br />
mixing <strong>and</strong> mingling with each other as people in the adjoining countries<br />
now mix <strong>and</strong> mingle. This new world will call for an enlarged mission program<br />
at home <strong>and</strong> abroad.<br />
The Home Mission Board recognizes this fact <strong>and</strong> assumes the responsibility<br />
of lighting the way into larger fields of home mission service.<br />
THE FUNCTION OF THE BOARD<br />
The function of the Board as an agency of the Convention is unique in<br />
many respects. It is a missionary board, a board of survey, a unifying agency<br />
for Southern Baptists, <strong>and</strong> a connectional board through which the impact<br />
of the entire denomination can be brought to bear upon the missionary tasks<br />
which are southwide in their nature.<br />
In its cooperation with the state mission boards it can give, <strong>and</strong> does give,<br />
Southern Baptists a unity in effort in undertakings which are common to all the<br />
states.
£ll> SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION:<br />
The state conventions <strong>and</strong> organizations are* not an integral part ©f the<br />
Southern Baptist Convention <strong>and</strong> never can be if we maintain our Baptis*<br />
polity. But they are an important part of our denominational- life <strong>and</strong> should<br />
lave some means by which <strong>and</strong> through which- they could, a-s organizations,<br />
eooperate in those mission tasks which are south-wide in their nature. The<br />
Home Mission Board is an agency of all the ehtfrdses of ail the states, <strong>and</strong> in<br />
cooperation with the state mission boards san <strong>and</strong> does furnkh the means by<br />
which each <strong>and</strong> every state convention can have a part in a unified mfesion<br />
program covering the entire territory of the Southern Baptist Convention.<br />
The Home Mission Board furnishes the nexus between the state mission<br />
boards, which our Baptist polity cannot provide, <strong>and</strong> gives to Southern Baptists<br />
a solidarity in our mission work in the homel<strong>and</strong>, on a cooperative basis, which<br />
other denominations secure by ecclesiastical overhead direction.<br />
HELPING WHERE HELP IS NEEDED<br />
The benefits of this cooperation are evident. Our state conventions are<br />
not of equal strength, or of equal missionary needs. There is still a great West<br />
where Baptists are weak <strong>and</strong> missionary needs are great. New Mexico, Arizona<br />
<strong>and</strong> Southern California are rich fields for missionary work, but the Baptists in<br />
these states are weak, <strong>and</strong> unless the stronger states of the Convention come to<br />
the relief of these weaker states, the fields of missionary need will be undeveloped.<br />
We have made recently surveys in southern California <strong>and</strong> Arizona, <strong>and</strong><br />
we find that some of the most needy fields we have are. in this territory. We<br />
could spend in each one of these states 8100,000 a year <strong>and</strong> not meet the<br />
need. Rich returns would be realized from such a mission program. These<br />
weaker states are looking to the Home Mission Board for help.<br />
Those of us who live in well-churched sections with strong state organizations,<br />
who have not visited these western states, cannot possibly vision the<br />
missionary needs <strong>and</strong> opportunities in these states. Nor can we know of the<br />
heroic struggles of the Baptists in these states to meet their responsibility to the<br />
lost thous<strong>and</strong>s around them.<br />
In addition to these needy fields, there are missionary tasks of a southwide<br />
nature which can be h<strong>and</strong>led adequately only through the cooperation<br />
of the Home Mission Board <strong>and</strong> the state mission boards.<br />
SOUTHWIDE MISSION TASKS<br />
In fact, the greatest missionary tasks in the homel<strong>and</strong> before Southern<br />
Baptists today are of that nature. These tasks are similar in all the states,<br />
<strong>and</strong> because of their magnitude dem<strong>and</strong> a unified, program in which the impact<br />
of the entire denomination is brought to bear upon them.<br />
These fields are:<br />
1. The Negro <strong>and</strong> his missionary needs, including racial relations, economic<br />
injustice, social rights, <strong>and</strong> moral <strong>and</strong> spiritual training;<br />
2. The great <strong>and</strong> growing cities in the territory of our Convention, including<br />
the problem of the foreigners, slums, underprivileged groups, <strong>and</strong> the<br />
task of reaching the great unreached masses with the Gospel;<br />
3. The rural field with its needs, including the tenant farmer, the migrant<br />
worker, <strong>and</strong> the problems of the struggling country church;<br />
4. Evangelism, looking to the development of a distinctive Southern Baptist<br />
type of evangelism which will be sane, safe, sensible, sound <strong>and</strong> scriptural.<br />
Each one of these fields is common to all of our states, but in varying<br />
degrees. Some states have more Negroes than others, some states have more<br />
<strong>and</strong> larger cities than others, some states have a larger <strong>and</strong> more complicated<br />
rural problem than others, <strong>and</strong> some states have a more insistent evangelistic<br />
problem than others.<br />
Now, in order to even things up <strong>and</strong> give to every state, not only the help<br />
it needs to meet its obligations to the lost, but also to give a unified Convention-wide<br />
type of work—a type of program worked out by the experience<br />
<strong>and</strong> thought of all the workers <strong>and</strong> backed up <strong>and</strong> implemented by the whole<br />
denomination—it is necessary to have the cooperation of all the state mission<br />
boards with the Home Mission Board.<br />
The Home Mission Board has as its purpose the evangelization of the homel<strong>and</strong>.<br />
It shall endeavor to reach every section of the Convention territory with
HOME MISSION BOARD 311<br />
the Gospel. It does not want any section to suffer from lack of help if it can<br />
render it. It wants every needy field occupied. It wants every part of our<br />
territory to have the advantage of the best plans <strong>and</strong> methods that the denomination,<br />
working <strong>and</strong> thinking together, can produce. For this purpose <strong>and</strong> to<br />
this end the Home Mission Board shall seek the closest cooperation with the<br />
state mission boards.<br />
EXAMPLE OF THE TASK<br />
Take the Negro work as an illustration. Here is a field of missionary need<br />
that touches every section of our territory, but in different degrees. Some<br />
states have almost as many Negroes as whites, other states have very few<br />
Negroes. Mississippi has 50 per cent Negroes, but New Mexico has very<br />
few. Some states have large cities packed with Negroes, others very few cities.<br />
But all the states have Negroes. This is a field of work common to all but<br />
different in degree.<br />
Southern Baptists have a responsibility to the Negro which can be met only<br />
by knowing their needs as a race <strong>and</strong> meeting these needs with a well devised<br />
program. No segmental approach to this task will suffice. It is a denominational<br />
responsibility <strong>and</strong> should have the impact of the whole denomination<br />
brought to bear upon it. The Home Mission Board has been studying the<br />
problems for ten years. Extensive surveys have been made. The principal<br />
leaders in both the National Conventions have been consulted. We have available<br />
more information on this problem than has ever been available to Southern<br />
Baptists before. The Home Board has a valuable contribution to make to<br />
this task.<br />
The same things are true in the city <strong>and</strong> the rural mission work. In all of<br />
these fields we need a comprehensive denominational program. The Home<br />
Mission Board recognizes this fact. The Board recognizes the importance of<br />
a Convention-wide approach to the missionary needs of the eleven million<br />
Negroes in our midst, to the <strong>six</strong>ty cities in our Convention territory of one<br />
<strong>hundred</strong> thous<strong>and</strong> population <strong>and</strong> over, to the country sections <strong>and</strong> the struggling<br />
country churches, <strong>and</strong> is ready to cooperate with the state mission boards<br />
in giving to Southern Baptists a unified southwide mission program for these<br />
supremely important undertakings.<br />
THE HOMELAND AS A BASIS<br />
Our homel<strong>and</strong> must be won for Christ as a base for the international propagation<br />
of Christianity. This means that churches must be planted in every<br />
needy section; that every province of our thinking, every area of our lives,<br />
every region of our relation to others <strong>and</strong> others' relation to us must be brought<br />
under the influence of the Gospel.<br />
To evangelize our homel<strong>and</strong> means to bring all of our people under the<br />
influence of Christianity. It means to bring the Gospel to bear on the<br />
foreigners in our midst, on the underprivileged in the congested centers, on<br />
the tenant farmer <strong>and</strong> the migrant worker; it means to build vital, virile,<br />
functioning New Testament churches in city <strong>and</strong> country; it means to fence<br />
against the inroads Of sin <strong>and</strong> wickedness by developing Christian community<br />
life in country, town <strong>and</strong> city; it means to generate spiritual enthusiasm <strong>and</strong><br />
to transfuse all the life forces of our homel<strong>and</strong> with the spiritual potencies<br />
of the kingdom of God.<br />
No work that we can do in our homel<strong>and</strong> today will mean as much to the<br />
rehabilitation of the world as this. Ultimately <strong>and</strong> fundamentally the world's<br />
peace <strong>and</strong> prosperity is based upon the character of the people who live in the<br />
world. The spiritual things, the things which Christianity alone can give, are<br />
the things the world needs most.<br />
Let America become a leader in righteousness <strong>and</strong> she will do more towards<br />
the securing of permanent peace, happiness <strong>and</strong> prosperity to the world 'than<br />
she can ever do in the economic, industrial <strong>and</strong> military fields.<br />
Not only so, but a triumphant missionary program in America is necessary<br />
if we would push our conquests for Christ adequately in l<strong>and</strong>s afar. The<br />
evangelization of our homel<strong>and</strong> is the tilling of the soil with the Gospel so that<br />
we will be prepared to meet the growing dem<strong>and</strong> for the Gospel in the postwar<br />
world.
312 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
NEW WORKERS ADDED<br />
During the past year some changes have taken place in the personnel of<br />
the Board. Rev. Joe W. Burton, Secretary of Education, resigned <strong>and</strong> accepted<br />
a position with the Sunday School Board. Mr. Burton has been with the Home<br />
Mission Board for ten years <strong>and</strong> has done a magnificent work in the field of<br />
publicity. Dr. John Caylor, of Shreveport, Louisiana, was elected by the<br />
Board to take his place. Dr. Caylor for a number of years was pastor of Highl<strong>and</strong><br />
Baptist Church of Shreveport. He was very active in the denominational<br />
life in Louisiana. He is supremely qualified for the task of filling Mr.<br />
Burton's place.<br />
The Board has also established a department of Visual Education <strong>and</strong> Rev.<br />
R. G. Van Royen, who was at the time of his employment superintendent of<br />
City Missions in Corpus Christi, Texas, has been employed to head this department.<br />
Mr. Van Royen has given a great deal of study in this particular<br />
field <strong>and</strong> .comes highly recommended for this position.<br />
One of the most important departments of the Home Mission Board is the<br />
revitalization of the country church. The Home Mission Board is cooperating<br />
with the state mission boards in this very important task. Recognizing the<br />
need in this field, the Board has employed Dr. John D. Freeman, who was at one<br />
time Editor of the Baptist <strong>and</strong> Reflector <strong>and</strong> for a number of years Executive<br />
Secretary of the Tennessee Baptist Convention, from which position he went<br />
to Kentucky as Editor of the Western Recorder, from which position he comes<br />
to the Home Mission Board as Field Secretary in the Rural Department. Dr.<br />
Freeman has made a special study of the country church <strong>and</strong> comes to this department<br />
with a store of information that will be very helpful. No one among<br />
Southern Baptists knows more about the country church <strong>and</strong> its problems than<br />
Dr. Freeman <strong>and</strong> no one is more interested in the building up of our country<br />
work than he.<br />
Mr. B. M. Crain, Educational Director of the Highl<strong>and</strong> Baptist Church,<br />
Shreveport, Louisiana, has been elected as Associate Office Secretary, to assist<br />
Mr. Wing, the Office Secretary. For a number of years Mr. Crain was in the<br />
accounting department of an insurance company <strong>and</strong> went from there into<br />
religious work. He is well trained <strong>and</strong> well qualified, <strong>and</strong> comes well recommended<br />
for the task to which he has been elected.<br />
New fields have been opened up to the Home Mission Board in California,<br />
Arizona <strong>and</strong> New Mexico. In these states there are great mission fields of<br />
need. The Home Mission Board is endeavoring to meet these needs. In<br />
addition to cooperating through the state mission boards in an enlarged missionary<br />
program, the Board has employed Rev. Fred A. McCaulley as General<br />
Field Worker. Brother McCaulley comes from the chaplaincy. He was formerly<br />
the Superintendent of Sunday School work in Oklahoma. From this task he<br />
went into the ministry <strong>and</strong> attended- Southwestern Seminary. From a pastorate<br />
in Texas, he volunteered for the chaplaincy <strong>and</strong> now he comes to the Home Mission<br />
Board for mission work in these great needy western fields.<br />
The report of the work done during the past year is given by departments<br />
<strong>and</strong> follows in the body of the board's report to the Convention.<br />

SECTION II<br />
REPORT OF WORK IN CANAL ZONE AND CENTRAL<br />
AMERICA<br />
PAUL C. BELL<br />
At the beginning of 1945 there were eighteen organized churches <strong>and</strong><br />
16 mission stations on our field. These were two American churches <strong>and</strong><br />
three West Indian churches in the Canal Zone; one Spanish <strong>and</strong> 12 West<br />
Indian churches in the Republic of Panama; <strong>and</strong> one Spanish church in Costa<br />
Rica. There were eight mission stations in the Republic of Panama <strong>and</strong> eight<br />
in Costa Rica. We had eleven workers.<br />
During the year two new couples were added to our force, Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs.<br />
Jeronimo Campos in Limon, Costa Rica, <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Fred L. Jones, Gatun, Canal<br />
Zone, to work with the West Indians.<br />
We are especially grateful for Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Fred Jones. This fine couple<br />
from Missouri, have endeared themselves to all of our people of all races. They<br />
have good training <strong>and</strong> many excellent qualities that equip them in an unusually<br />
fine way for their work. They are devoting most of their time to the<br />
West Indian work, but have made a great contribution to our American work<br />
also.<br />
We organized a new church at Limon, Costa Rica, one at Alajuela, Costa<br />
Rica, <strong>and</strong> a third at Chorrera in the Republic of Panama. These three new<br />
churches have begun in a splendid way to reach out with their influence into<br />
the by-ways <strong>and</strong> hedges with the Gospel message. We make special mention of<br />
the Chorrera church. Under the leadership of the pastor, Brother Gomez, <strong>and</strong><br />
Paul Bell Jr. missions have been opened far out in the jungle areas among the<br />
most neglected of the Republic of Panama, with the result of many being won<br />
to the Lord. In one area in particular the natives have built a very attractive<br />
chapel of bamboo <strong>and</strong> palm fronds, of which they are very proud.<br />
Four monthly periodicals have been published each month during the year.<br />
"El Mensagero" is t'he organ of the Spanish churches in the Republic of Panama.<br />
"La Lumbrera" is published by the San Jose Baptist Church <strong>and</strong> serves<br />
the churches <strong>and</strong> missions of Costa Rica. "La Nueva Era" is published by the<br />
Baptist churches of Guatemala. The "Baptist Messenger" is published in<br />
English for our West Indian churches in the Canal Zone <strong>and</strong> Panama. These<br />
papers have served a good purpose in our work. We trust that all of them<br />
can be enlarged.<br />
The following are some of our urgent needs. Church buildings <strong>and</strong> parsonages<br />
are needed for Cocoli, Canal Zone; Chorrera <strong>and</strong> Panama City in the<br />
Republic of Panama; San Jose, Limon <strong>and</strong> Alajuela in Costa Rica. A central<br />
building to house the Spanish church <strong>and</strong> a training school for future workers,<br />
in Panama City. This building with necessary lots will cost not less than<br />
$150 000 00 Three American missionary couples are needed for the Englishspeaking<br />
work in Canal Zone <strong>and</strong> Republic of Panama. One American missionary<br />
couple is needed for Spanish SECTION work in Panama III . <strong>and</strong> another in Costa Rica.<br />
Last but not least, we need the interest <strong>and</strong> the prayer of Southern Baptists.<br />
COOPERATIVE MISSIONS WITH NEGROES<br />
ROLAND SMITH, Assistant to the Executive Secretary<br />
TJie Home Mission Board during its long <strong>and</strong> eventful history has manifested<br />
for over a half century a definite interest in the Evangelism <strong>and</strong> the Ministerial<br />
training of the Negro. In this phase of its work the Home Mission Board has<br />
approached the problem from two angles: Evangelism <strong>and</strong> Ministerial training.<br />
In recent years the objective has centered around the idea of Ministerial training.<br />
In this way we have fostered a program of cooperation with Negro<br />
colleges <strong>and</strong> organizations in Ministerial training, Religious Education, Insti-
314 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
tutes, Extension classes <strong>and</strong> Religious Emphasis Weeks. As a result of this<br />
significant cooperation the following have been accomplished:<br />
Enrolled in classes 1,429<br />
Ministers enrolled 601<br />
Institutes <strong>and</strong> Extension Classes 311<br />
Enrollment of Institutes <strong>and</strong> Extension Classes 9,010<br />

Number of Sermons preached 1,248<br />
THE PROBLEM OF THE NEGRO CHURCH AND A TRAINED MINISTRY<br />
The Negro preacher occupies a strategic place in the life of his people,<br />
because he is the acknowledged leader of the majority of his people. The<br />
preacher should be the best trained man in the community, if he is to maintain<br />
the respect <strong>and</strong> leadership that was once his exclusively. The fact is, that the<br />
Negro preacher is not the best trained person among his people. With his<br />
limited <strong>and</strong> meager training in most cases, the more educated <strong>and</strong> intelligent<br />
Negroes are revolting from an untrained, emotional leadership to a leadership<br />
of other professions, as is represented by the physicians, newspaper editors.<br />
social workers, <strong>and</strong> college presidents. The leadership which the Negro preacher<br />
has maintained over the years i? definitely <strong>and</strong> seriously threatened by other<br />
professional groups.<br />
We must prepare Negro preachers for the pastorate. There are' 4,076,380<br />
Negro Baptists, with 24,460 churches. We do not have the men in training<br />
through colleges <strong>and</strong> seminaries to provide for the appalling need of the Negro<br />
pulpit. Thous<strong>and</strong>s of Negro churches are under the leadership of men who do<br />
not have high school training.<br />
APPROACH TO THE PROBLEM BY HOME MISSION BOARD<br />
The Home Mission Board is attempting to do something about this problem<br />
of ministerial education among Negro Baptists through a cooperative agreement<br />
with Negro colleges <strong>and</strong> schools in their Theological <strong>and</strong> Bible departments.<br />
by providing a teacher-missionary whose duty is to teach religious subjects.<br />
These colleges represent the finest <strong>and</strong> best that there is in educational institutions<br />
among Negroes. The Home Mission Board has twenty-four teachermissionaries<br />
engaged in this noble task. Since our last annual report, we have<br />
twenty-three colleges working with the Home Mission Board rather than <strong>six</strong>teen<br />
as in the previous year.<br />
THE INSTITUTE PROGRAM<br />
The Institute Program has served a great purpose in providing training for<br />
the under-privileged Negro preacher. The various colleges have fostered through<br />
this program many institutes in which we have reached several thous<strong>and</strong>. This<br />
type of program has its value, but it can never take the place of the definite<br />
college <strong>and</strong> theological training. It provides for the needs of the preacher<br />
who has not the time or the formal training to enter a st<strong>and</strong>ardized college.<br />
The following table will give an index of what was accomplished in the Institute<br />
Program during the summer of 1945 in cooperation with our colleges:<br />

THE Crry MISSION PROGRAM<br />
The City Mission Program among Negroes is performing a worthy service<br />
in our cities with large populations. This program attempts to provide a better<br />
ministerial <strong>and</strong> lay-leadership for Negro churches as well as to promote the
HOME MISSION BOARD 315<br />
denominational life of Baptist churches. We have city mission workers among<br />
Negroes in Atlanta, Baltimore, Dallas, Louisville, Memphis <strong>and</strong> Oklahoma City.<br />
The worker is employed upon a full time basis to work with churches <strong>and</strong><br />
denominational organizations of the city. These city mission workers seek to<br />
raise the level of training for the churches <strong>and</strong> Negro life in general. This must<br />
be done if the Negro church life is enriched <strong>and</strong> serves the needs of the people.<br />
The following facts present a picture of the work done by the city mission<br />
workers:<br />

EDUCATION AND PUBLICITY<br />
JOHN CAYLOR, Secretary<br />
UNA ROBERTS LAWRENCE. Mission Study Editor<br />
L, W. MARTIN, Superintendent of Schools of Missions<br />
R. G. VAN ROYEN, visual Education Director<br />
As the new secretary of education <strong>and</strong> publicity, it is my privilege to pr<br />
herewith reports of those who served the Home Mission Board in the department<br />
during the year 1945.<br />
Rev. Joe W. Burton, secretary of education <strong>and</strong> publicity, ended ten years<br />
in the department. My work began January 1, 1946.<br />
We are grateful for the good reports of the past year <strong>and</strong> hopeful for the<br />
future.<br />
STATEMENT OF RETIRING SECRETARY OF EDUCATION<br />
JOE W. BURTON<br />
Because of my connection with the Home Mission Board in the period<br />
covered by this annual report, Dr. J. B. Lawrence graciously invited me to<br />
record here some of the activities under my direction in these past twelve<br />
months as secretary of education.<br />
First, I must say that it was no easy decision to turn from a work to which<br />
I had given every sinew of my being for ten years. No remotest doubt that<br />
the Lord led me to the Home Mission Board a decade ago had ever been entertained.<br />
It was only because circumstances clearly indicated it now to be His<br />
will for me to serve in another field, <strong>and</strong> because of an opportunity to make<br />
some positive Christian contribution to the primary entity in our whole social<br />
structure, the home, that I felt constrained to accede to the importunities of a<br />
sister board. Thus it was with mixed sorrow <strong>and</strong> anticipation that I left the<br />
Home Mission Board at the end of 1945 to become associated with the Sunday<br />
School Board as head of the newly created Department of Home Curriculum.<br />
I am grateful that the Board has secured the able services of Dr. John<br />
Caylor for this strategic position. He has a warm heart <strong>and</strong> a trained h<strong>and</strong>.<br />
May the Lord multiply his usefulness.<br />
In the past year our editorial work with the Home Mission Board was<br />
channeled through the well defined media of denominational publications, <strong>and</strong><br />
the daily <strong>and</strong> weekly newspapers.<br />
The Board's own magazine, Southern Baptist Home Missions, for which I had<br />
the major editorial responsibility, maintained a monthly circulation of approximately<br />
110,000. Books published by the Board had a circulation of above<br />
50,000, as shown in the itemized list below.<br />
New books brought from the press at the close of my tenure with the Board<br />
constitute a graded series on Christianity <strong>and</strong> race. The titles are Of One<br />
by T. B. Maston; March On by Margaret Kime Eubanks; <strong>and</strong> Lilly May <strong>and</strong><br />
Dan by Marel Brown.<br />
A new venture of the year was the preparation of a series of newspaper<br />
messages setting forth the distinctive Christian truths. These were in mat<br />
form for use by churches in local advertising. The entire series was published<br />
first in Southern Baptist Home Missions. Some seventy churches or other<br />
groups co-operated in the publication of the series in local newspapers. This<br />
service is still available to any interested church or churches.<br />
Engagements were filled during the year in a dozen states <strong>and</strong> in Cuba. I<br />
spoke on Home Missions at four state conventions in the fall. A number of<br />
colleges <strong>and</strong> two seminaries were visited. Many engagements were filled in<br />
churches, associations, <strong>and</strong> other denominational gatherings.<br />
As a premanent record of growing interest in our common cause, registered<br />
here with deep appreciation of a missionary-minded people <strong>and</strong> in a humble<br />
spirit of joy in having some part in its cultivation, we list below the past year's<br />

In these ten years of editorial responsibility, Southern Baptist Home Missions<br />
has grown from a quarterly bulletin of 21,000 circulation to a monthly magazine<br />
of 121,000 circulation. During the decade I have edited <strong>forty</strong>-two books which<br />
have had a total circulation of over 650,000 copies. Income from book sales,<br />
magazine subscriptions, <strong>and</strong> advertising has exceeded $165,000, increasing from<br />
less than $3,000 the first year to above $33,000 the past year.<br />
Many <strong>hundred</strong>s of articles have been prepared for the denominational <strong>and</strong><br />
secular press. These have included news releases <strong>and</strong> longer discussion articles.<br />
Of the first there have been literally thous<strong>and</strong>s, while of the second there have<br />
been eight oi nine <strong>hundred</strong>. The number of longer articles written by me<br />
personally has totaled perhaps over fou> <strong>hundred</strong>.<br />
I have written <strong>and</strong> the Board has published two books, Epochs of H&me<br />
Missions <strong>and</strong> Missionary Illustrations; several compilations printed in book<br />
form carry my name as editor or co-author. Another manuscript, including<br />
letters by an early corresponding secretary, Joseph Walker, with editorial com-
!18 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
ments, is ready for publication. Another publisher is now printing in book form<br />
my series of articles on the ministry of Dr. George W. Truett.<br />
While carrying these heavy editorial responsibilities, I have filled engagements<br />
on an average of one nearly every third day. the total having run above<br />
1150. These have been in churches, associations, conventions, pastors' conferences,<br />
colleges, seminaries, as I have gone to every state in our Convention,<br />
save California. My visits to the mission fields have been extensive.<br />
As I leave this association in service, my .unfailing interest in the work of<br />
Home Missions shall continue. My prayers shall be lifted continuously for His<br />
blessings upon this holy endeavor.<br />
SCHOOLS OF MISSIONS<br />
LEWIS W. MARTIN. Superintendent<br />
The churches must know if they do more for the needs of the homel<strong>and</strong>.<br />
"This was one of the greatest weeks ever experienced in our Association."<br />
"This Mission Emphasis was needed in our church. Our people will give more<br />
in the future." "The whole program is invaluable to the life of my church.<br />
It has inspired the life of my church immensely." "World Mission Week is<br />
over, however the effect will go on through our churches for a long time to<br />
come. It was perhaps the most significant undertaking ever launched in Washington."<br />
"Already we are seeing the results of our Mission Week in the increase<br />
of interest in giving more liberally to our mission causes <strong>and</strong> also in the deepening<br />
interest in a world outlook."<br />
Quotations like these could be multiplied an <strong>hundred</strong>fold.<br />
From Maryl<strong>and</strong> to California <strong>and</strong> from Miami to Kansas City come words<br />
of grateful appreciation <strong>and</strong> testimonies of greater interest in missions after<br />
simultaneous Schools of Missions have been conducted.<br />
Information <strong>and</strong> inspiration derived from mission study books <strong>and</strong> brought<br />
by state, home <strong>and</strong> foreign missionaries speaking in Schools of Missions have<br />
brought some definite results in our churches. Personal soul-winning has been<br />
stimulated, many people have been prompted to serve in local missions, there<br />
has been more definite, purposeful praying for missionaries, contributions for<br />
missions have increased, <strong>and</strong> <strong>hundred</strong>s of young people have answered God's<br />
call to mission service.<br />
Our present general responsibility obliges us to promote a program by<br />
which information regarding needs <strong>and</strong> accomplishments on our home mission<br />
fields is brought to Southern Baptist churches in the most effective manner.<br />
Specifically our task is that of advising regarding the proper projection of the<br />
program, the committing of home missionaries for service in Schools of Missions,<br />
camps <strong>and</strong> assemblies, <strong>and</strong> serving ourself as speaker <strong>and</strong> teacher.<br />

REPORT OF MISSION STUDY EDITOR 1945<br />
UNA ROBERTS LAWRENCE<br />
On October 4, 1908, First Baptist Church, New Orleans, finally dedicated<br />
its own building after half a century of struggle for a worthy permanent<br />
home. Dr. C. V. Edwards, the pastor, chose as the theme of the program the<br />
following words of Dr. I. T. Tichenor, the Secretary of the Home Mission<br />
Board, whose continuing support had made this victory possible.<br />
"For the sake of our country, for the sake of our children who gather<br />
like plants around our tables, for the sake of humanity, for the glory of the<br />
Master, <strong>and</strong> for the redemption of the world, let us strive to make this great<br />
nation a people whose God is the Lord."<br />
These words might well be writtten above the record of the year 1945, for<br />
never before has a year been so crowded with history-making events, that<br />
make the necessity of our being a Christian nation greater than ever before.<br />
It marks the end of the world we have known, the dawn of an age of unknown<br />
possibilities <strong>and</strong> the rise of the United States into world influence beyond our<br />
comprehension, with the task of home missions now of most urgent world<br />
wide significance. Through these days your mission study editor was engaged<br />
in digging up the past <strong>and</strong> preparing for the future.<br />
1. The Past. When the Centennial History was first projected, some <strong>six</strong><br />
years ago, your editor, upon whom the task was laid, said it would take at<br />
least three years to do the job;—two years to gather the material, one year to<br />
assimilate it <strong>and</strong> write the history. At that time we believed we had a complete<br />
file of all minutes of the work as a basis. When final authorization for the<br />
work came in November, 1943, we discovered that the minutes from 1845 to<br />
1875 had been lost. This greatly increased the work that had to be done.<br />
Annual reports in the early years are meager <strong>and</strong> record very few details;<br />
the correspondence of the secretaries <strong>and</strong> missionaries has been lost
320 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
except for what has been preserved in the files of the Foreign Mission Board<br />
<strong>and</strong> bits gathered from a few other sources; current information <strong>and</strong> reports<br />
from home mission fields are fragmentary in an intermittent missionary<br />
journal published jointly with the Foreign Mission Board. The richest source<br />
of direct knowledge of how missions operated, where <strong>and</strong> through whom, in<br />
those critical, history-making 30 years proved to be the contemporary Baptist<br />
newspapers, chiefly The Religious Herald, Christian Index, Biblical Record<br />
<strong>and</strong> the several publications that emerged into the Western Recorder.<br />
Gathering history piecemeal thus was much like working on a patchwork<br />
quilt, but through the months of 1945 many gaps were filled <strong>and</strong> a pattern<br />
of connected history began to appear.<br />
Five weeks in February <strong>and</strong> March were spent in the library of Southern<br />
Baptist Theological Seminary <strong>and</strong> four more weeks in the minutes of the<br />
Board in November <strong>and</strong> December, while months of patient piecing together<br />
of the historical records found finally reconstructed the records lost <strong>and</strong> the<br />
story of the first half century took shape in satisfactory completeness, during<br />
this year.<br />
Much work has also been done on the second fifty years, so much that we<br />
have hopes of having the MS complete by the end of 1946, which will be<br />
within the schedule of three years first laid out by the writer.<br />
To many friends we owe much for help along the difficult way, especially<br />
to Dr. Leo T. Crismon, Librarian of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary,<br />
whose intimate knowledge of the source material in both the Seminary<br />
Library <strong>and</strong> the increasingly valuable library of the Southern Baptist Historical<br />
Society made possible many a short cut in research. To the quick <strong>and</strong> efficient<br />
interest of my friends of the years, Dr. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. John D. Freeman is due thanks<br />
for finding a place to stay in crowded Louisville when all other means had failed.<br />
More especially still do I owe gratitude to the loyal fellow workers of<br />
Home Mission Board office who found a place for work in comfort under unbelievably<br />
crowded office conditions. Their helpful interest made days of<br />
tedious work delightful <strong>and</strong> fruitful. The continuing interest of Mr. B. M.<br />
Callaway, the historically-minded member of the Home Mission Board, gave<br />
reassuring support in times of discouragement; the generosity of Mrs. C. V.<br />
Hickerson of Richmond, Virginia, gave access to a considerable store of items<br />
of rare interest; while to many others much gratitude is owed for helpfulness<br />
<strong>and</strong> courtesies along the way.<br />
2. The Future. One cannot live in the past. The weeks of delving into<br />
long forgotten records were weeks full of swiftly moving events that made<br />
vivid history for 1945 <strong>and</strong> laid strange <strong>and</strong> somewhat terrifying foundations<br />
for a troubled future. Dr. Lawrence <strong>and</strong> the leaders of the Home Mission<br />
Board realize that our present day is cast within a world revolution bringing<br />
terrific new challenges to the Christian forces of America. They are facing<br />
these problems with rare courage <strong>and</strong> faith, developing old mission fields <strong>and</strong><br />
entering new ones. Some of these new ventures are direct answers to the<br />
challenge of world conditions.<br />
In the mission study department during 1945 one of the most critical needs<br />
of this troubled time was faced <strong>and</strong> courageously met in the production of a<br />
series of study books on Christian attitudes toward the urgent problems of<br />
racial tension.<br />
Planned originally as a study of all racial minorities in the South, only one<br />
book of the original plans was completed, the adult book, OF ONE, written by<br />
Dr. T. B. Maston, Professor of Christian Sociology in Southwestern Theological<br />
Seminary.<br />
Late in the year, when all the manuscripts should have been ready for the<br />
press, a decision was made to ab<strong>and</strong>on the original plans for the young people's<br />
books of this series on racial minorities <strong>and</strong> substitute for the primary<br />
<strong>and</strong> junior books, MSS already completed in the Negro Series,—which had<br />
been authorized in 1939 but suspended before the series was completed <strong>and</strong><br />
rescinded by action of the Board in the Annual Meeting of 1943.<br />
The Primary book of this series had been completed; as the other four<br />
were nearly so. The author of the Junior book had continued to work on her<br />
MS, <strong>and</strong> it had been used as a basis for workshop teaching during the spring<br />
<strong>and</strong> summer of 1945 by both white <strong>and</strong> Negro leaders.
HOME MISSION BOARD 321<br />
In September when swift preparation of the MS for the printer was necessary,<br />
the reports from this laboratory work <strong>and</strong> gracious cooperation from<br />
Mrs. Eubanks made it possible to have final copy for the printer within a<br />
month's time. The work of Negro leaders as weil as our own has made the<br />
book acceptable for use in the churches of both races, a procedure which had<br />
already been followed in preparation of the Primary book. Much time was<br />
spent in editing, writing introductions, <strong>and</strong> reading proof on these books.<br />
The Series is the most significant we have ever published, as well as one of<br />
the most attractive, two outst<strong>and</strong>ing artists having illustrated them; Lois<br />
Mailou Jones of the Art Department of Howard University, Washington, D. C,<br />
the Primary book; <strong>and</strong> Winona Steffens Childers of Kansas City, Missouri, the<br />
Junior book.<br />
Our mission study leaders as well as the young people who read the books<br />
appreciate greatly the beautiful type, authentic, appealing illustrations <strong>and</strong> eyecatching<br />
covers, for which we owe much to the good taste <strong>and</strong> skill of Rev. J. W.<br />
Burton whose vision of the teaching values of pictures has given to the Home<br />
Mission Board the most beautiful mission study books for young people Southern<br />
Baptists have ever had.<br />
So in the last <strong>six</strong> months of 1945 your mission study editor gave considerable<br />
time to completion of the young people's books for the 1946 Series; for<br />
Juniors, March On, by Margaret Kime Eubanks, <strong>and</strong> Lilly May <strong>and</strong> Dan by<br />
Marel Brown. New Day Begun is the Intermediate book to be completed by<br />
the mission study editor.<br />
3. The Present. Certain aspects of the work of your editor go on steadily,<br />
regardless of what major tasks arise.<br />
(1) One of these, the Exhibit, becomes with this report, a thing of the<br />
past for this department. Never physically equal to the work involved in<br />
preparation <strong>and</strong> use of an Exhibit, she has begged for years that this heavy<br />
responsibility be transferred to other h<strong>and</strong>s.<br />
In December, 1945, it was a great joy to check the inventory of our Exhibit<br />
equipment <strong>and</strong> materials into the capable h<strong>and</strong>s of Rev. R. G. Van Royen,<br />
the new Visual Education Director of the Board. During the year, however,<br />
before cancellation of plans for a 1945 Centennial SBC meeting, three weeks<br />
had been spent on preparation of an Historical Exhibit for that occasion.<br />
(2) Continuing work with Woman's Missionary Union brought during 1945<br />
completion of a new phase of wider missionary reading, the Missionary Round<br />
Tables, <strong>and</strong> development of new basic plans <strong>and</strong> ' promotional aids for enlargement<br />
of the entire W.M.U. study program, all of which has much significance<br />
to increased study of our books.<br />
(3) Contacts on the field. Little time has been spared for contacts with<br />
the churches or the missionaries. For the most part the time that could be<br />
given to meetings <strong>and</strong> addresses has been spent in those of an inter-racial<br />
nature, <strong>and</strong> to conferences <strong>and</strong> classes on mission study.<br />
A summary of this work shows: Churches visited 14; mission fields (all<br />
Negro) 3; conferences (public) 9; colleges <strong>and</strong> seminaries visited 4; study<br />
classes taught 3; schools of missions participated in 3; soul-winning interviews<br />
5; State Inter-Racial Institutes 2; young people's camps (Negro) 2; addresses<br />
16; libraries worked in 3; miles traveled 5,956; days in Atlanta office, 36; days<br />
in Louisville, 20; days on field, 15; days in Kansas City office, 294.<br />
(4) In the office, work has gone steadily forward with the history the foremost<br />
<strong>and</strong> continuing task. Mrs. Clayton Harrop was away on leave with her<br />
lieutenant husb<strong>and</strong> in Army service from January until August 1st. In this<br />
interim, when typists of any kind were difficult to get <strong>and</strong> good ones not to be<br />
had at any price, two former secretaries came to the rescue in typing much<br />
historical material in their homes while a lovely Japanese-American young<br />
woman, Helen Matoi, during January, <strong>and</strong> a student of Western Baptist Seminary,<br />
Clarissa Carter, from June 1st to August 1st, gave appreciated relief to<br />
the work accumulated in the office. Since August 1st Mrs. Harrop has been much<br />
more than the usual secretary, in her aid especially on the historical material.<br />
Figures show the work only in part; Letters written 887; cards 302; articles<br />
<strong>and</strong> leaflets 16; circular letters 18 (615 copies); 1,160 pages of Book Lists to<br />
State W.M.U. office; 1,322 pages historical material copied.<br />
teaching; on Intermediate Junior 40 Negro pages Negro MS copied copied book.<br />
on same <strong>and</strong> sent in final to editing <strong>six</strong> leaders for printer; for laboratory two weeks' work work in
322 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
So the year has been a fascinating mixture of delving into the past of<br />
history, <strong>and</strong> adventuring into the future, as we prepared the books for the first<br />
study by Southern Baptists of Christian attitudes toward race with our own<br />
textbooks. It has been a joy to have a small part in both. Greater still is<br />
the satisfaction of being a part of the force that is endeavoring to do the<br />
task to which Dr. Tichenor called us a half century ago:<br />
"For the sake of our country—<br />
For the sake of our children—<br />
For the sake of humanity—<br />
For the glory of the Master—<br />
For the redemption of the world—<br />
Let us strive to make this great<br />
nation a people whose God is the<br />
Lord."<br />
DEPARTMENT OF VISUAL EDUCATION<br />
R. G. VAN ROYEN. Secretary<br />
We began our work in this new department of the Home Mission Board<br />
September 1, 1945. During the month of September, we traveled <strong>and</strong> made<br />
pictures of the Mexican work in the lower Rio Gr<strong>and</strong>e Valley in Texas, in<br />
Laredo, <strong>and</strong> in <strong>and</strong> around San Antonio <strong>and</strong> Corpus Christi. In the month<br />
of October, we moved from Texas to Atlanta, Ga. On the way from Texas<br />
to Georgia we spent one week speaking in a School of Missions in Alabama<br />
<strong>and</strong> arrived in Atlanta about the first of November. It took us a little while<br />
to get settled.<br />
During the month of November, I attended <strong>and</strong> spoke at the Kentucky<br />
Baptist General Association in Louisville, Kentucky. I also spoke at the Baptist<br />
Convention for the District of Columbia. During the month of December,<br />
it was necessary to make a trip to Kansas City, Mo., to make contacts with<br />
the Calvin Laboratories to arrange for production of certain portions of pictures<br />
for us.<br />
During the months of November <strong>and</strong> December, we were making contacts<br />
with wholesale houses <strong>and</strong> ordering equipment with which to proceed with the<br />
work of this department. It has been most difficult to secure needed equipment<br />
<strong>and</strong> film <strong>and</strong> we were not able to get the needed equipment during that<br />
time.<br />
During the year 1946, it is our plan to visit as many fields as possible <strong>and</strong><br />
take motion pictures of work being done by our missionaries on the fields <strong>and</strong><br />
prepare these films for use by the churches. We are also planning to make<br />
film rolls <strong>and</strong> slides, adding to the sets of slides we already have until we<br />
adequately cover the fields where this Board has worked. Since dem<strong>and</strong>s have<br />
exceeded the supply for the sets of slides of our Home Mission work, we will<br />
make a number of duplicates of each set in order that we may be able more<br />
adequately to care for the needs of the churches. During the coming year, it<br />
is our plan to add new sets of slides as fast as we are able to get pictures from<br />
the various fields that we visit. We will have slides on the Seminole Indians,<br />
the Goodwill Center work <strong>and</strong> new sets on the Mexican work <strong>and</strong> a set on the<br />
Negro work to be used with the W.M.U. study course books. It is our plan to<br />
furnish the customary lecture with these slides <strong>and</strong> in addition to that, if it is<br />
asked for, a record upon which will be cut the lecture for the slides that may<br />
be used on a phonograph or radio to give the message along with the slides.<br />
During this year we hope to have ready for circulation in silent 16MM films<br />
one reel on Rural work, <strong>and</strong> one on Negro work to be used with the books<br />
taught in W.M.U. Study courses, one on the Seminole Indian work, one on<br />
the Goodwill Center work, one on work among the Mexicans <strong>and</strong> perhaps one<br />
on City Missions. In 16 MM sound films, we hope to have one on the Seminole<br />
Indian work in Florida <strong>and</strong> perhaps one giving a description of the work being<br />
done on the various fields where the Home Mission Board is carrying on its<br />
work.<br />
It shall be the aim of this department to furnish visual aids for the teaching<br />
of missions <strong>and</strong>,to bring the real story of mission work being done <strong>and</strong><br />
needed in Home Mission fields. It will take considerable equipment <strong>and</strong> work<br />

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF EVANGELISM<br />
FRED C. EASTHAM<br />
Your Secretary of Evangelism shares with you the joy of knowing that at<br />
least 500,000 souls were won to Christ in 1945. This is far short of the<br />
million which was our goal, but as we look back we must recognize the fact<br />
that this is 100,000 more" souls than were won in 1944.<br />
The latest report from Dr. Porter Routh reveals the following facts: 5,846,-<br />
203 Southern Baptists report 256,144 baptisms in 1945, a ratio of 1 to 22.8<br />
Baptists. In 1944, 5,667,922 Baptists reported 218,223 baptisms or a ratio of<br />
1 to 25.1 Baptists.<br />
If we count Conversions <strong>and</strong> not baptisms, the figure will run over 500,000<br />
souls won to Christ. In 1945 for example, our chaplains reported 100,000 conversions<br />
<strong>and</strong> not all of these were baptized. Many associations <strong>and</strong> churches<br />
have not reported for 1945; therefore we are safe in our estimate of a half<br />
million.<br />
May I express my deep appreciation to our State Secretaries, Editors, City<br />
Missionaries, Superintendents of Evangelism <strong>and</strong> all of the departments of our<br />
Convention for the wonderful cooperation <strong>and</strong> help they gave the Department<br />
of Evangelism.<br />
We are now well into the year 1946. Crusades, revivals <strong>and</strong> bush-arbor<br />
meetings are being held all over our Convention. Our State Boards are electing<br />
Superintendents of Evangelism <strong>and</strong>, without exception, they give to these departments<br />
a substantial budget with which to work. In the near future there<br />
will be available to you free of charge an attractive folder which will "contain<br />
all data necessary for the launching of a Crusade in your city or association<br />
<strong>and</strong> among the rural churches. By writing this department you will be<br />
furnished with a generous assortment of tracts that will be of help in soulwinning.<br />
We are anxious to secure the names <strong>and</strong> addresses of all workers in the<br />
field of evangelism. Constant requests come to this office for names of evan:<br />
gelistic singers.<br />
A meeting will be held in Atlanta before the close of the year at which<br />
we hope to have in attendance all of the Superintendents of Evangelism, the<br />
Committee on Evangelism appointed by the Convention <strong>and</strong> our State Secre-

taries. At this time we can correlate our work, exchange ideas, plan <strong>and</strong> make<br />
suggestions for the material of the folder mentioned above.<br />
In the successful promotion of this department we need an assistant as soon<br />
as possible <strong>and</strong> increased funds for the printing of tracts, gospels <strong>and</strong> other<br />
literature. There is also the need for an increased budget that we might aid<br />
in supporting revivals in the strictly mission areas.<br />

CAMP WORK<br />
ALFRED CARPENTER, Superintendent<br />
SOUTHERN BAPTIST CHAPLAINS<br />
SECTION VI<br />
During the period known as World War II, our chaplains have led in probably<br />
the most far-reaching, soul-winning, missionary movement known to our<br />
history. During the period July 1, 1941 to December 31, 1945, there were<br />
1,254 Southern Baptist Chaplains in the Service. On V-J Day, there were<br />
1,130, <strong>and</strong> on December 31, 1945, there were 767 in Army <strong>and</strong> 155 in Navy,<br />
or total of 922 on duty.<br />
(April 1, 1946, 465 in Army <strong>and</strong> 126 in the Navy, or total of 591 on<br />
duty.)<br />
Evangelism within the military. Their spiritual leadership inside the<br />
Armed Forces is a well known <strong>and</strong> established fact throughout the military.<br />
Our Baptist preachers in uniform have had opportunity to deal with American<br />
born paganism in the hearts of men. The chaplains took 100,000 as their<br />
soul-winning goal for the year, or one-tenth of the Southern Baptist Centennial<br />
goal of one million. They reported 91,740 for 1945. Total professions reported<br />
for period of war is 298,932.<br />
Missions outside the military. "Beyond the point of duty," around the<br />
globe our chaplains have led in a far-reaching missionary adventure. Going<br />
where <strong>and</strong> when our missionaries could not go <strong>and</strong> at a time of dire need <strong>and</strong><br />
open opportunity. From Alaska to Guadalcanal they have built places of worship<br />
<strong>and</strong> organized churches. Where Baptist work was already established,<br />
they have ministered to <strong>and</strong> co-operated with the local groups. This far-reaching<br />
ministry, not only to those in uniform during time of war, but also to<br />
civilians across a war torn world, is outst<strong>and</strong>ing in present value <strong>and</strong> future<br />
possibilities.<br />
Southern Baptist chaplains are noted for their personal chastity, Biblical<br />
orthodoxy, denominational loyalty, evangelistic zeal, missionary aggressiveness,<br />
<strong>and</strong> general spiritual ministry. Our chaplains hold their portion of positions<br />
of leadership in all branches of the Service.<br />
A valuable by-product is the large number of men called to the gospel<br />
ministry under the chaplains' leadership. Our office has names of approximately<br />
950 of these men. We have established contact with 550, seeking to<br />
offer counsel as they return to civilian life <strong>and</strong> to school. Where their questionnaires<br />
revealed preference regarding school, this information was forwarded<br />
to the schools.<br />
Promotions. During 1945 there were 152 promoted to Captaincy, 23 to<br />
Majority, 4 to Lt. Colonel, 4 to Colonel—total 183 promotions in Army. Total<br />
war-time promotions in the Navy number 154.

FIELD WORK<br />
Keeping in touch with rapid changes in all theaters of operations, policy<br />
forming in Washington, problem solving <strong>and</strong> program promoting have been<br />
major emphases of our field representative. He was given leave September<br />
through November 15th in order to accept invitational orders of joint Chiefs<br />
of Staff for tour of inspection of chaplains' work in India-Burma, China, <strong>and</strong><br />
West Pacific Theaters of Operations.<br />
On this globe-girdling itinerary of 32,750 miles by air, he contacted 657<br />
chaplains; held 54 conferences attended by 714; contacted 56 comm<strong>and</strong>ing<br />
officers <strong>and</strong> visited 83 headquarters. Visited 64 air bases, 62 other types of<br />
outfits, <strong>and</strong> 21 ships. Interviewed 102 missionaries, 167 soldiers <strong>and</strong> sailors.<br />
Made 27 addresses, preached 21 sermons, 83 professions of faith in Christ.<br />
His official report has been made to joint Chiefs of Staff, as has also a report<br />
from the mission fields to Foreign Mission Board at their request

JEWISH WORK<br />
JACOB GARTENHAUS, Field Secretary<br />
"Tomorrow shall be as this day <strong>and</strong> much more abundant." (Isa. 56:12)<br />
As I pen this report I have entered my twenty-fifth year of service with the<br />
Home Mission Board. As I look back over the early years, with their trials,<br />
tears, heartaches, <strong>and</strong> headaches, when I had to travel a lonely road <strong>and</strong> cry<br />
like a voice in the wilderness, facing on the one h<strong>and</strong> the bitter opposition of my<br />
own people, <strong>and</strong> on the other h<strong>and</strong> the indifference <strong>and</strong> callousness on the part<br />
of Christians; when I had to travel for days <strong>and</strong> weeks, yea even months,<br />
without meeting a single Jewish believer, or even so much as hearing of one—<br />
for it required superhuman courage for a Jew to publicly profess Christ—1<br />
marvel at my own endurance <strong>and</strong> thank God for His sustaining grace <strong>and</strong><br />
infinite patience during those pioneer days when it required<br />
The faith of Abraham<br />
The obedience of Isaac<br />
The meekness of Moses<br />
The strength of Samson<br />
The wisdom of Solomon<br />
The patience of Job<br />
The missionary zeal of Peter<br />
The statesmanship of Paul<br />
<strong>and</strong>, above all, the love of Christ.<br />
And now, as I compare those trying days with my present experiences<br />
with the open doors <strong>and</strong> hungry hearts, the eagerness on the part of the great<br />
masses to know more about this Jesus whose very name for centuries they were<br />
not even permitted to utter except in blasphemy, <strong>and</strong> the ever-increasing number<br />
of Jews who are ^turning to Christ as their only hope, I want to shout with<br />
the Psalmist of old, "Jehovah hath done great things for us whereof we are<br />
glad."<br />
What we are witnessing today, encouraging <strong>and</strong> glorious as it is, is not to<br />
be compared with what will come to pass tomorrow. In the words of the<br />
prophet: "Tomorrow shall be as this day <strong>and</strong> much more abundant" (Isa.<br />
56:12) The inspired apostle Paul likewise saw that glorious day of Israel's<br />
acceptance of the Messiah when he said: "For if the casting away of them<br />
be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be but life<br />
from the dead."<br />
The dyke of prejudice <strong>and</strong> ignorance which has been kept so long cemented<br />
by some bigoted Jewish rabbis, has broken loose <strong>and</strong> nothing they can do will<br />
stop the flood of light from penetrating the hearts of the great masses.<br />
To satisfy the dem<strong>and</strong> for knowledge, many volumes have been written by<br />
outst<strong>and</strong>ing Jewish scholars, such as the late Franz Werfel, Sholem Asch, <strong>and</strong><br />
others, which have accomplished more in bringing Christ <strong>and</strong> Israel together<br />
than could a <strong>hundred</strong> missionaries. No abuse or threats of ostracism will<br />
silence their voices.<br />
This has led <strong>hundred</strong>s of thous<strong>and</strong>s of Jews to seek further knowledge in<br />
the New Testament, <strong>and</strong> as a result we are reaping a harvest far beyond our<br />
expectations. According to the report of the committee on the Christian<br />
approach to the Jew at a recent annual conference of the Home Missions<br />
Council of North America, 100,000 Jews are members of the Christian churches<br />
in the United States <strong>and</strong> Canada.<br />
This unprecedented awakening is not confined to our own continent. Recently<br />
we read the sensational announcement by the Associated Press of the<br />
conversion of the chief rabbi of Rome, Italy, his wife, daughter, <strong>and</strong> nearly<br />
three <strong>hundred</strong> members of his congregation. It is interesting to read the Jewish<br />
reaction to the conversion of this world figure.<br />
Jewish leaders, who usually try to explain away the conversion of such a<br />
prominent Jewish person by accusing him of having sought notoriety or having<br />
taken such a step for mercenary <strong>and</strong> other reasons, found themselves at a loss to<br />
explain the step taken by this rabbi. They could not accuse him of having<br />
sought notoriety for he was already a renowned <strong>and</strong> respected world figure.<br />
Semitic criticism If anything, The truth Antiquities <strong>and</strong> he anger of was the in of aware matter his the people. University that is that such for a of a step Rome number would <strong>and</strong> of bring only years upon a he short was him time lecturer the before<br />

his conversion he was offered the directorship of the rabbinical college in that<br />
city. Certainly he could not be accused of having taken the step for mercenary<br />
reasons; if anything, it was a sacrifice on his part. It was the years of study<br />
of Christianity which led him to his decision.<br />
I call attention to this significant event to show the dissatisfaction of many<br />
of the Jewish leaders with Judaism to supply the spiritual needs of its people<br />
in an hour of crisis. This is only an example of many similar happenings.<br />
Judaism has lost her moorings <strong>and</strong> is drifting about in a sea of doubt <strong>and</strong><br />
despair. Only in Christ will their anchor hold.<br />
It would require a good size volume to record the blessings which have<br />
attended my labors. As in former years my work has been of a twofold<br />
nature. Since its progress depends so much on the right attitude of Christians<br />
—for no appeal, no matter how convincing, will have any weight with the Jew<br />
if he fails to see the love of Christ demonstrated in the life of his Christian<br />
friend or associate—-I have sought by word of mouth <strong>and</strong> through the printed<br />
page to secure their whole-hearted cooperation. It has been my privilege to<br />
present the work before many gatherings such as conventions, associations, Bible<br />
conferences, <strong>and</strong> schools of missions, as well as regular church congregations.<br />
While the burden of my message is always Israel, I do not forget the others<br />
for whom Christ died, <strong>and</strong> it thrills my heart <strong>and</strong> soul to see them respond to<br />
the appeal by accepting the Saviour <strong>and</strong> dedicating their lives.<br />
I have sought to give the message of the Saviour to the Jew through special<br />
services, direct personal contacts, printed page <strong>and</strong> the Friends of Israel groups.<br />
I can only cite one experience with each of these to illustrate how the Lord<br />
has used these methods of approach.<br />
I. Special <strong>Services</strong><br />
One of our pastors, conscious of the widespread Anti-Semitic feeling in his<br />
community, <strong>and</strong> desiring to counteract it,' arranged special services in his<br />
church. He asked me to suggest a subject for the evening service that would<br />
arouse enough curiosity to get the people to the church, <strong>and</strong> I chose, "How to<br />
Destroy the Jews."<br />
Placards announcing this subject were displayed in store windows <strong>and</strong><br />
other public places not only in his own community, but in the neighboring<br />
'towns as well. Needless to say, it caused considerable discussion.<br />
Briefly, in my message I stated that according to God's Word, if anyone<br />
would destroy the Jews, he must first destroy the sun, the moon, <strong>and</strong> the<br />
stars. I then called attention to the curse which has rested on the nations of<br />
the world who have sought to destroy these people, pointing to Germany as the<br />
latest example.<br />
Upon my return to the office some days later I was informed that one of<br />
the prominent Jews in the city was anxious for an interview with me; <strong>and</strong><br />
when we met I was surprised to find another man with him who represented<br />
one of the leading Jewish organizations in America.<br />
To come to the point, one of the men took from his pocket a photostatic<br />
copy of the placard, stating that it had caused no little commotion among the<br />
Jewish citizens in that community, <strong>and</strong> that some of them had gone to hear<br />
me with fear <strong>and</strong> trembling, thinking that another Hitler sympathizer was in<br />
their midst. However, he went on to say, they were greatly pleased with the<br />
message <strong>and</strong> the fine spirit in which it was delivered. They said that without<br />
doubt it accomplished much good.<br />
What the two men were concerned about, however, was the reaction of the<br />
anti-Semites who did not hear it, who no doubt got the impression that the<br />
speaker was in sympathy with Hitler's program. I expressed my regret at this<br />
reaction to my effort to counteract Anti-Semitism <strong>and</strong> assured the men that in<br />
the future I would be more cautious.<br />
I went on to make it clear that ever since I had accepted Christ as Israel's<br />
true Messiah <strong>and</strong> the world's only Saviour <strong>and</strong> hope, the conviction has grown<br />
upon me that He is the only solution to the eternal Jewish problem, <strong>and</strong> that my<br />
whole life has been dedicated to His service. I told them that I have felt<br />
keenly the suffering of my people to the extent that.I am unable to relax day<br />
or night <strong>and</strong> that there is nothing I would not do to help end it, notwithst<strong>and</strong>ing<br />
the hostile attitude of my people who were wont to ridicule <strong>and</strong> ostracize one<br />
of their own taking such a position. I reminded one of these leaders that some<br />

328 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
There was no doubt that the two men were greatly impressed, for they<br />
apologized for the attitude that so many Jews had adopted.<br />
"It is too bad that we did not know you twenty or more years ago," said<br />
one, "certainly our attitude would have been different through these years."<br />
I quote from a letter received from one of the men a few days later:<br />
"May I express the appreciation of both Mr. B <strong>and</strong> myself<br />
for the very fine <strong>and</strong> frank manner in which you accepted our visit<br />
yesterday with the same spirit which we brought to it. Both Mr. B<br />
<strong>and</strong> I are absolutely convinced not only of your sincerity but also of the<br />
fact that you are deeply interested in the welfare of the Jewish people<br />
<strong>and</strong> are doing what you can to mitigate the evils of anti-Semitism<br />
wherever you can. Please be assured that Mr. B <strong>and</strong> I will both<br />
attempt to interpret your position to the Jewish community of this<br />
area. . . .<br />
"Both Mr. B <strong>and</strong> I are deeply concerned over your health.<br />
We hope it will improve greatly within the near future."<br />
II. Personal Contacts<br />
I have found the greatest results from personal contacts, <strong>and</strong> I therefore<br />
do not let an opportunity go by to have a heart-to-heart talk with any seeker<br />
after the Truth.<br />
A faithful member of the First Baptist Church in Atlanta, who is deeply<br />
interested in the salvation of Israel, called me <strong>and</strong> asked whether I could visit<br />
her Jewish neighbor. She had already prepared the way by winning the confidence<br />
of her friends.<br />
As soon as she had learned that a Jewish family had moved into the neighborhood,<br />
she not only called on them but even carried flowers <strong>and</strong> tomatoes from<br />
her victory garden. Is there any wonder that they were impressed by her<br />
Christianity?<br />
That was the beginning of a warm friendship. Nor did she miss an opportunity<br />
to tell them about her Saviour who was of the House of Israel. When<br />
she asked them whether they would like to meet a Christian Jewish friend of<br />
hers, they replied that they would be very glad to do so. A most cordial welcome<br />
awaited me when I called on them.<br />
The first question the man asked me was, "How long has it been since you<br />
have become converted?"<br />
"I have not changed my religion at all," I replied. "Christianity is not<br />
another religion but the fulfilment of the Jewish religion."<br />
I quoted the Saviour's words in Matthew 5:17: "Think not that I am come<br />
to destroy the law or the prophets. I am not come to destroy but to fulfil."<br />
"Christianity does not supplant Judaism, but supplements it," I added. "I<br />
feel that I have not changed my religion but have found it. I, therefore, do<br />
not like to be known as a 'converted' Jew but as a 'completed' Jew."<br />
The man was evidently so impressed that he asked his sister to go upstairs<br />
<strong>and</strong> call his wife. When she reminded him that his wife was ill, he said, "But<br />
I don't want her to miss a single word of this."<br />
In a few moments she came down. They all seemed to drink in every word<br />
I had to say, asking question after question. Every now <strong>and</strong> then they exclaimed,<br />
"It sounds so wonderful! Why haven't we known this before?"<br />
The man asked me to send him anything I could lay my h<strong>and</strong>s on so that<br />
he might make a further study of the subject. Following a lengthy visit they<br />
accompanied me to the home of the Christian friend to express their deep<br />
gratitude for the wonderful evening.<br />
Here again is an example of Israel's crying need for something that will<br />
satisfy. Though the family possesses great wealth <strong>and</strong> culture, there is an<br />
emptiness in their lives which saddens them.<br />
III. Printed Page<br />
The printed page renders a powerful ministry all of its own. I quote the<br />
following from a letter received from a Jewish man, dated August 31, 1945:<br />
"For a long time you have sent me your publication, The Mediator, <strong>and</strong> I<br />
have always read it <strong>and</strong> found it very inspiring. I had never acknowledged<br />
its receipt before because while recognizing the truth of what you<br />
had to say, I was not altogether convinced.<br />
"Not long ago, however, I accepted Christ as my Saviour, <strong>and</strong> my<br />

with faith <strong>and</strong> belief. To you, Jacob, I give my thanks for your help<br />
<strong>and</strong> thank God for showing me the truth <strong>and</strong> leading me in His way."<br />
IV. Friends of Israel<br />
Invaluable service is being rendered by these faithful groups scattered in<br />
many of our communities. Their reports tell of some marvelous results. For<br />
example, in one of our cities a Friend of Israel personally contacted one<strong>hundred</strong><br />
families, distributing tracts, <strong>and</strong> Testaments. Many of them have<br />
voluntarily come to her home to seek more knowledge.<br />
It has been a dream of mine to see such an organization in every town <strong>and</strong><br />
city of our Southl<strong>and</strong>, for it is only through such faithful voluntary service<br />
that we can ever hope to reach the one million Jews in our midst.<br />
Has not the time come for our Board to give more serious consideration<br />
to the evangelization.of these people, who are wielding a powerful influence,<br />
especially in this unparalleled time in their history when their hearts are<br />

THE CITY MISSION PROGRAM<br />
SOLOMON F. DOWIS, Superintendent<br />
The City Mission Program became a Southern Baptist Convention Program<br />
in 1943, when the Convention approved the type of program presented in the<br />
Home Mission Board report. The Program is jointly promoted by the Home<br />
Mission Board <strong>and</strong> the State Mission Boards. The immediate direction of the<br />
City Mission Program is by the local City Missions Committee, named by the<br />
Association or Council interested in the work. This is a church-centered <strong>and</strong><br />
church-sponsored Mission Program for the local community. It is to be carried<br />
on by volunteer workers from the local church under the direction of the<br />
Church Mission Committee. The purpose of the program is to reach <strong>and</strong> win<br />
to the Lord the unchurched masses of our cities, baptize them into the fellowship<br />
of the churches, <strong>and</strong> develop them in the Grace of Christian living.<br />
I. THE NEED FOR A CITY MISSION PROGRAM<br />
The need for such a church-centered Mission Program is evident from the<br />
following facts: In the 70 largest urban centers of the Southern Baptist Convention,<br />
whose metropolitan population was 75,000 <strong>and</strong> above at the close of<br />
1944, we had 20,000,000 people. This is 36% of the entire population in the<br />
S.B.C. at the close of 1944. At the same time there were about 28,000,000 unchurched<br />
people in the 20 States of our Convention area. Of this number<br />
13,500,000 were in these 70 urban centers, which means that about 49% of<br />
our unchurched population at the close of 1944 was in our cities.<br />
II. OUR ADEQUACY FOR THE PROGRAM<br />
This large unchurched population of our cities would be an impossible task<br />
for us through employed misisonaries. But when we realize that so many of our<br />
large churches, strongest church programs, <strong>and</strong> good ministers are in these cities,<br />
then the task simply becomes one of enlisting these great churches <strong>and</strong> inspiring<br />
them to reach these multitudes. There are many capable <strong>and</strong> well-trained members<br />
of our city churches who will be happy in a Church Mission Program<br />
that reaches these multitudes around them. The churches need the program<br />
to challenge them for a greater Kingdom service.<br />
m. THE PROJECTS OF CITY MISSIONS<br />
Since the beginning of the City Mission Program, a number of projects<br />
have become a part of this Mission Program.<br />
1. The City Mission Committees have sponsored Bible schools for preachers,<br />
teachers, deacons, <strong>and</strong> church leaders. These schools have run for a period<br />
of eight or nine months out of the year. Local pastors have served as teachers,<br />
<strong>and</strong> enrollment has been without charge to the students. Credit has been<br />
given by the Seminaries for some of this work.<br />

their <strong>and</strong> re
330 .SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
are: Inactive members of the church, non-resident Baptists, unchurched people,<br />
other nationalities, <strong>and</strong> homes of juvenile delinquents.<br />
3. Mission Stations operated by the local church have been a large part<br />
of the City Mission Program. These have reached as high as 340 at some<br />
periods of the work. Some of these become arms of the church as permanent<br />
missions, <strong>and</strong> others develop into churches in due process.<br />
4. New churches have been a vital part of this Program. There have been<br />
166 new churches constituted through the City Mission Program. These new<br />
churches are sponsored <strong>and</strong> helped by another local church or churches <strong>and</strong> thus<br />
are good denominational units in full fellowship with all the other churches, <strong>and</strong><br />
able to carry on their work before organized.<br />
5. Institutional services in jails, prisons, homes for children <strong>and</strong> aged, hospitals,<br />
schools, shops, stores, factories, etc., have become a vital project in the<br />
City Mission Program. In 1945 there were reported nearly 6,000 such services<br />
conducted by the churches.<br />
6. Tent <strong>and</strong> Mission Revivals are conducted in unchurched areas with a<br />
Vacation Bible School in the morning hours <strong>and</strong> preaching services at night.<br />
Some cities have tents for this purpose <strong>and</strong> others are securing them as fast<br />
as they are available. In 1945 there were 407 such Mission Revivals arid 369<br />
Mission Vacation Bible Schools.<br />
7. Distribution of Bibles, portions of scriptures, tracts, magazines <strong>and</strong> various<br />
forms of religious literature is another important phase of work in the<br />
City Mission Program. In 1945 more than one million such pieces of literature<br />
were given to people through the mission services.<br />
8. Special services with <strong>and</strong> for the Jews, Deaf Friends, Foreigners <strong>and</strong><br />
Negroes are definitely a part of this Church Mission Program. More than 4,000<br />
services were held in 1945 for these groups.<br />
There are other forms of Mission services which the churches find need for<br />
in their own communities. There have been more than 25 kinds of Mission<br />
services reported through the Home Board Office.<br />

V. THE DEVELOPMENT OF CITY MISSIONS<br />
The City Mission Program began with two cities in 1941: Houston, Texas<br />
<strong>and</strong> Atlanta, Georgia. These two cities enlisted 56 churches in the Program<br />
the first year <strong>and</strong> 32 reported work. The second year, 1942, added two other<br />
cities: Washington, D. C. <strong>and</strong> Birmingham, Alabama. This year, 286 churches<br />
were enlisted <strong>and</strong> 80 reported work done.<br />
In 1943, the third year of the work, 22 cities were promoting the Program<br />
with 860 churches enlisted <strong>and</strong> 271 of them reporting work. The fourth year,<br />
1944, brought the number of cities up to 37 with 1,445 churches enlisted <strong>and</strong><br />
398 of them reporting their work.<br />
In 1945 the City Mission Program had reached 48 cities. Three cities were<br />
discontinued <strong>and</strong> some others were without superintendents for part of the<br />
time. At the close of 1945 there were 45 cities engaged in the work, with 1,763<br />
churches enlisted <strong>and</strong> 530 of them making monthly reports of their work.<br />
The Mission work done by the churches in 1945 was equal to that of the four<br />
previous years of the work. This was an encouraging indication of the value<br />
of the Program. The report of the work for the five-year - period is given below.<br />
On January 1, 1946, the three cities in California, two in Arizona, <strong>and</strong> one<br />
in New Mexico (total of <strong>six</strong>) were transferred to a General Mission Program for<br />
these states, so that we began January 1, 1946 with 39 cities in the City Mission<br />
Program.<br />

First: There are twelve or fifteen other cities in the Southern Baptist Convention<br />
which need a City Mission Program with a superintendent in charge to<br />
direct the work.<br />
Second: There are perhaps one <strong>hundred</strong> other cities in the Southern Baptist<br />
Convention which need to have a local Missions Committee directing their<br />
own City Mission Program, but which would not need an individual superintendent<br />
for each city. This will necessitate more field workers, or supervisors<br />
of City Mission work in order to direct this type of service.<br />
Third: The Church Mission Program needs to be extended until it reaches<br />
all of the churches in our Southern Baptist Convention which are strong enough<br />
to promote a local Mission Program for their own communities. This will<br />
necessitate literature, supervision <strong>and</strong> help.<br />
If this three-fold need is met in the City Missions Department with a Churchcentered<br />
Mission Program, it will show still greater results in the future.<br />
This City Mission Program is a cooperative Program of the Southern Baptist<br />
Convention, jointly promoted by the Home Mission Board <strong>and</strong> the State Mission<br />
Boards.<br />
The work herein reported is work of the churches in these cities <strong>and</strong>, of<br />
course, is not to be added to the annual reports found in Associational or Convention<br />
minutes.
332 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
SECTION IX<br />
REPORT OF CUBAN WORK FOR 1945<br />
M. N. McCALL. Superintendent<br />
All phases of the work have gone forward during, the year without interruption<br />
<strong>and</strong> with encouraging results. Cuba has been passing through a period<br />
of inflation which has caused some hardships to the workers <strong>and</strong> to the work.<br />
Following the example of the brethren in the States, Cuban Baptists set a<br />
, goal of 500 baptisms during the year. The number of professions was large<br />
but we did not reach the goal of baptisms. However, there was an increase of<br />
, over fifty per cent above the previous year. We are suffering an acute housing<br />
• shortage which bids fair* to last for some time to come. This creates difficulty<br />
in keeping rented quarters <strong>and</strong> getting new places for missions. European refugees<br />
came in large numbers during the war. We expected them to return to their<br />
native l<strong>and</strong>s after the war, but most of them seem to have made themselves at<br />
home, or are waiting in the hope of entering the United States, This accounts<br />
in part for the shortage in living quarters. In addition to this, Cuba's population<br />
is increasing rapidly from natural causes. According to the census of 1943<br />
our four western provinces have a population of 2,934,375. This has no doubt<br />
. reached three million at the present time.<br />
PHASES OF WORK DONE<br />
Evangelism.—Special attention has been given to evangelism. Special<br />
meetings have been held at every point more than once during the year. Most<br />
places report the best meetings in their history. Ministerial students, working<br />
in teams of two, accompanied the evangelists during three months. For evangelists<br />
we had to depend on pastors who left their fields for this special work for<br />
winter <strong>and</strong> spring campaigns. Radio evangelism has continued. The church<br />
in Havana has continued to broadcast its Sunday morning service. This covers<br />
the isl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> there is evidence that it reaches large numbers. Cruces has<br />
continued its Sunday services at a different hour, over a local station, which<br />
covers well Santa Clara province. The Santa Clara church was offered the<br />
use of a daily fifteen minute period, which it uses with good results.<br />
Educational work.-—The school in Havana, Colegio Bautista, enrolled 192<br />
during the year in all grades <strong>and</strong> is doing a real mission work. A number of<br />
primary schools operated by native pastors, without expense to the Board, have<br />
also rendered good service. These for the most part lack suitable equipment.<br />
The Seminary <strong>and</strong> Training School.—Ten young men <strong>and</strong> eight young<br />
women have been in preparation. We had no graduates during the year but<br />
four of the young men <strong>and</strong> one of the young women will be ready to go into<br />
active work in a few months.<br />
Publication work.—The Baptist Printery has operated continuously, <strong>and</strong> in<br />
spite of paper shortages has had a busy year. Large numbers of tracts, pamphlets,<br />
mission programs, hymn books <strong>and</strong> other smaller publications have been<br />
produced, in addition to our denominational paper, La Voz Bautista. This<br />
last has grown considerably in circulation during the year.<br />
Chapel Building.—Chapels destroyed by a storm were built in Jacomino <strong>and</strong><br />
Guasimal. New chapels have been built at Palmira, Cotorro <strong>and</strong> Punta Brava,<br />
a suburb of Caibarien. Purchases of property were made at eleven points,<br />
at five of which there are houses which are used as temporary chapels. Three<br />
other chapels are under consideration.<br />
NEEDS<br />
1. Equipment.—The housing difficulty makes it imperative that we equip ou<br />
fields with modest chapels <strong>and</strong> workers' homes. Something has been done<br />
along this line but much more remains to be done. Two <strong>hundred</strong> thous<strong>and</strong><br />
dollars to be spent on chapels <strong>and</strong> homes in the next two years would be a<br />
conservative estimate of present needs.<br />
2. A School of Institute Grade.—For over twenty years we have had an excellent<br />
school site but so far have not been able to build. A boarding school of<br />
Institute grade would help many Baptist young people who now have to go to<br />
government schools or to schools of other denominations. We need to hold
HOME MISSION BOARD 333<br />
these young people longer under our influence if we would reap what we have<br />
sown in their minds <strong>and</strong> hearts during the short years of the primary school.<br />
To build <strong>and</strong> equip the first units of such a school would probably cost $200,000.<br />
3. A University Student Center.—A student center near the University would<br />
enable us to further care for the spiritual interests of Baptist students, who are<br />
entering in increasing numbers. It would also serve as a point of contact with<br />
the large student body in our only University <strong>and</strong> give us an opportunity to<br />
influence them for Christ. Both the school above mentioned <strong>and</strong> the University<br />
center would help meet a long felt need of a place for workers' conferences,<br />
young people's camps <strong>and</strong> other gatherings. A suitable place for a student center<br />
would be hard to rent, <strong>and</strong> to build one not less than $75,000 would be needed.<br />
4. More Workers.—We need a few more American workers for special tasks.<br />
While we have excellent <strong>and</strong> well trained native men <strong>and</strong> women, there are some<br />
phases of the work in which we still need specially trained American helpers.<br />
We are scarcely taking care of our present work with the force we have.<br />
Some fields are suffering because of the need for replacements, <strong>and</strong> there is<br />
no one free to devote himself to much needed field work.<br />

The Home Mission Board is cooperating with thirteen of the state mission<br />
boards of the Southern Baptist Convention in the promotion of a country<br />
church program.<br />
BASIS OF COOPERATION<br />
The Home Mission Board furnishes the general program of work to be<br />
promoted <strong>and</strong> agrees in conference with the state secretary of each state as to<br />
the number of workers that will serve in this cooperative program, the type<br />
of work to be undertaken <strong>and</strong> the part of the total budget to be paid by each<br />
board. The state boards select the workers, fix the salaries <strong>and</strong> administer the<br />
program. Each worker makes a report to each cooperating board. All money<br />
for salaries is sent to the state board office <strong>and</strong> is paid from that source.<br />
We are glad to report that the fine spirit of cooperation manifested by<br />
those engaged in this cooperative work has been most gratifying. The missionaries,<br />
the superintendents of rural work in the various states, <strong>and</strong> the state<br />
secretaries have been most gracious in supporting every effort of this Department<br />
to improve the condition <strong>and</strong> work of our rural churches.<br />
RURAL CONFERENCES<br />
Conferences on the work of our country churches were held in Atlanta,<br />
Georgia, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, <strong>and</strong> Albuquerque, New Mexico, last May.<br />
The response in attendance <strong>and</strong> in interest was most encouraging.
334 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVE±>JTION<br />
PROPOSED PROGRAM FOR COUNTRY CHURCHES<br />
The following minimum goals were suggested as a working program for<br />
the country church:<br />
1. A pastor living on or near enough the field to render pastoral service.<br />
2. A perennial Sunday school under church control.<br />
3. At least one revival meeting or special evangelistic effort during the year.<br />
4. The best possible use of church property, with proper care of house <strong>and</strong><br />
grounds.<br />
5. A practical plan of church finance which includes the Cooperative Program.<br />
6. A regular weekly prayer service at a time <strong>and</strong> place most suitable.<br />
7. Cooperation in denominational activities including personal representation<br />
at the meeting of the District Association with a report from the church.<br />
8. Enlistment of as many members as possible in service, evangelistic <strong>and</strong><br />
missionary activities.<br />
It is thoroughly understood that these minimum goals do not include all<br />
of the activities <strong>and</strong> services that many of these rural churches need. They<br />
constitute the first step, <strong>and</strong> an enlarged program can be undertaken as leadership<br />
is developed <strong>and</strong> a sympathetic appreciation of an enlarged program is<br />
secured.<br />

SOME OBSERVATIONS FROM THESE REPORTS<br />
70 22<br />
There were fifty-three men reporting in this field at the close of the year but<br />
the average number of workers during the year was <strong>forty</strong>-one.<br />
The following monthly averages per worker are interesting: Miles traveled,<br />
1500; churches visited, 10; letters written, 51; professions, 6.6; additions to<br />
thechurches, 10; sermons <strong>and</strong> addresses, 20; conferences, 10.<br />
I should like to call special attention to the well balanced mission activities<br />
of these workers. The report as a whole shows that every phase of our rural<br />
mission program is receiving an emphasis.<br />
It must be remembered that the Home Mission Board is not claiming credit<br />
for all of this work because these workers are all serving cooperatively with<br />
the Home Board <strong>and</strong> their respective state mission boards. The total reports<br />
are given as a matter of record.<br />
DR. JOHN D. FREEMAN ELECTED<br />
Dr. John D. Freeman, for some years editor of the Western Recorder, has<br />
been added to the forces of our Country Church Department as a general field<br />
worker. He will help in the general promotion of the work, will visit our<br />
seminaries <strong>and</strong> colleges, attend rural institutes <strong>and</strong> conferences, <strong>and</strong> give such<br />

Dr. Freeman has long had a special interest in the country church, has given<br />
support to such work as a pastor, as a state secretary <strong>and</strong> as a writer. His<br />

this field. We are happy to commend Dr. Freeman to our Convention constituency.<br />

336 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
SECTION XI<br />
WORK AMONG THE INDIANS, FOREIGNERS AND<br />
LANGUAGE GROUPS<br />
COURTS REDFORD. Assistant Executive Secretary<br />
It is with thanksgiving to our Heavenly Father <strong>and</strong> with sincere appreciat<br />
of the fine cooperation given by my fellow workers that I give this report<br />
to Southern Baptists.<br />
The Lord blessed the work of our missionaries in 1945. Three <strong>hundred</strong><br />
thirty-seven missionaries in this department <strong>and</strong> 206 summer workers sent<br />
their reports to this Board. They reported 41,221 sermons <strong>and</strong> addresses,<br />
8,711 conversions <strong>and</strong> 3,340 additions to the churches. The summer students,<br />
who reported 2,335 conversions, were not asked to report additions to the<br />
churches. Doubtless many of these who professed faith in the Lord did join<br />
the churches in their respective communities.<br />
These reports show an increase of 2,609 conversions over the previous year,<br />
which is a gain of 42%. They reported 582 more additions to the churches<br />
than were reported the previous year.<br />
These reports as well as the testimonies of our workers indicate that this<br />
is a fruitful time in which to baptize disciples here in the homel<strong>and</strong>.<br />
The increased income of our Baptist people in the South, the willingness<br />
of many young people to give themselves to mission service, the increased<br />
interest of the foreigners, the Indians, <strong>and</strong> the under-privileged in their own<br />
spiritual welfare <strong>and</strong> the realization of a need of a great spiritual revival<br />
all combine to make this the greatest day of opportunity for evangelizing these<br />
mission fields that Southern Baptists have ever known. *<br />
SPANISH-MEXICAN WORK<br />
REV. LOYD CORDER, Superintendent<br />
As in the days of old God chose a location in the center of the civilized<br />
world for His people, Israel, so now He has blessed Southern Baptists with a<br />
remarkably strategic position for world-wide missions. This is especially true<br />
with reference to the Latin American peoples.<br />
In practically every realm of human activity here in the United States in<br />
recent years Latin America has received more attention than usual. This is<br />
due in part to the effort to achieve a hemispheric solidarity during the war. A<br />
stronger reason for post-war days is that these nations are awakening to their<br />
own possibilities <strong>and</strong> we are seeing in them opportunities for great achievement<br />
in practically every realm.<br />
The dem<strong>and</strong> for United States capital, manufactured goods <strong>and</strong> technical<br />
knowledge is steadily increasing in almost all of the Latin American countries.<br />
They want these things because their own traditional way of life has offered<br />
them very little for the future; but they have seen that our way in the business<br />
<strong>and</strong> industrial realm offers them a great deal. Likewise their traditional religion<br />
has failed to satisfy their souls. They would be glad to have the true<br />
religion of Jesus if they could see it demonstrated here.<br />
Much of their dem<strong>and</strong> for North American things is due to the influence<br />
of their own people who live here <strong>and</strong> communicate to them what they observe<br />
<strong>and</strong> experience. There are 1,750,000 of these Spanish-speaking people<br />
living within the territory of the Southern Baptist Convention. Most likely<br />
these people living in our midst will have more influence for the success or<br />
failure of the cause of Christ in those countries than all the missionaries we<br />
can send to them. And the side on which that influence is to be cast will be<br />
determined by what we do here in our lives, attitudes <strong>and</strong> efforts to win them<br />
to Christ. To the Latin American nations the things we do here in the States<br />
as a people are speaking much louder than all that our missionaries in thenown<br />
countries can say.<br />
Let Southern Baptists awake to the opportunity, the responsibility <strong>and</strong> the<br />
challenge of the position in which God has placed us. He has put in our
HOME MISSION BOARD 337<br />
midst a great people that needs the Gospel desperately; He has put in our hearts<br />
the great Gospel that these people need; <strong>and</strong>, He has put in our h<strong>and</strong>s the<br />
material resources needed for giving the Gospel to them. May we not fail now<br />
when the door is open as it has never been before!<br />
We have reason to be encouraged by the progress of our work among these<br />
people here in spite of the fact that the work is still altogether inadequate in<br />
the face of the opportunities. At present, the total membership of the Spanishspeaking<br />
Baptist congregations amounts to approximately one per cent of the<br />
Spanish speaking population of the territory. Possibly as many as five per cent<br />
belong to some evangelical faith. The remainder are about fifty per cent to<br />
<strong>six</strong>ty per cent nominally Roman Catholic <strong>and</strong> <strong>forty</strong> per cent to fifty per cent<br />
nothing at all.<br />
According to the statistics of the Mexican Baptist Convention of Texas,<br />
which is our largest organized group, we have been winning to Christ about<br />
one person for each three church members <strong>and</strong> baptizing about one to every<br />
nine <strong>and</strong> one-third members. This is three times as many in proportion as have<br />
been won <strong>and</strong> baptized in the Southern Baptist Convention during the same<br />
period. This past year, July 1944 to June 1945, our churches reported one<br />
baptism for 8.1 members.<br />
Of course winning <strong>and</strong> baptizing is only the first link of a long <strong>and</strong> continuous<br />
chain of experiences. Every Christian must grow <strong>and</strong> ^win others.<br />
Therefore, we have an intensive educational program.<br />
We undertake to find the people God has called <strong>and</strong> help them to prepare<br />
themselves for this mission work. Last year we knew of <strong>six</strong>ty students in our<br />
schools definitely preparing themselves for the work. The Home Mission Board<br />
through the Ida Perle Bell <strong>and</strong> J. W. Beagle Scholarship Funds was helping<br />
twenty-four of these. This year we know of approximately seventy-five who are<br />
preparing themselves for the work <strong>and</strong> the Home Mission Board is helping<br />
twenty-seven. This is a great advance over the status' of our work ten<br />
years ago when we had three students of which we knew <strong>and</strong> no scholarships.<br />
We are undertaking also to help educate the missionaries we have on the<br />
field already. Heretofore each year we have held five regional conferences<br />
for the pastors <strong>and</strong> workers of the whole Southwestern Spanish speaking mission<br />
field. This year we held, February 11-22 in San Antonio, what we called the<br />
School of Prophets in which we taught fundamental concepts of the following<br />
nine subjects; Homiletics, Church History, Doctrines, Evangelism, Methods of<br />
Religious Education, Spanish Grammar, Church Music, Bible <strong>and</strong> Christian<br />
Ethics. This school was supported jointly by the Home Mission Board <strong>and</strong> the<br />
Executive Board of the Baptist General Convention of Texas. We had<br />
seventy-five workers present for the duration of the course, not counting the ten<br />
or eleven people who participated in the administration of the work. We feel<br />
that the school was a great success from the st<strong>and</strong>point of instruction <strong>and</strong> of<br />
the inspiration that the brethren gathered from it <strong>and</strong> also from the st<strong>and</strong>point<br />
of fellowship which the brethren enjoyed with new acquaintances from<br />
various parts of the field.<br />
Besides this school we have had four conferences on Sunday School work<br />
in the four regions of Texas <strong>and</strong> three conferences on W.M.U. work. We have<br />
planned now one other W.M.U. conference which will be in Albuquerque, New<br />
Mexico. For the Training Union we are expecting to promote simultaneous<br />
study courses during the latter part of 1946. Also in San Antonio, Texas,<br />
February 25-28, we held a conference for Kindergarten teachers with an<br />
attendance of twenty-<strong>six</strong> of the thirty-two teachers working in Kindergartens<br />
among the Spanish speaking people under all auspices in the Southwest.<br />
We have been directly supporting our State-wide encampment at Alto Frio<br />
as an agency for training the leaders <strong>and</strong> membership of our churches. Besides<br />
that we have the privilege of encouraging <strong>and</strong> cooperating with encampments<br />
at Palacios, Texas, <strong>and</strong> Menard, Texas, for the Mexican people. We have<br />
noticed an increase in the attendance <strong>and</strong> effectiveness of these encampments<br />
from year to year <strong>and</strong> we are expecting during 1946 to open an encampment<br />
in New Mexico near Albuquerque for the Spanish speaking people of New<br />
Mexico <strong>and</strong> Arizona.<br />
We have been encouraging the churches to promote Study Courses in the<br />
various Sunday awards. auxiliary School During Study 1944-1945 organizations. Course we awards had In Texas 379 <strong>and</strong> Sunday for 257 the Training School year awards 1943-1944 Union <strong>and</strong> Study we 469'Train-<br />
had Course 351
338 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
ing Union awards. We are already well ahead of last year's mark <strong>and</strong> we have<br />
four months yet to go in the year.<br />
In all of our teaching we have emphasized training in Stewardship <strong>and</strong> we<br />
feel that our efforts have been rewarded in view of the fact that our Convention<br />
statistics show that in 1943 our Spanish speaking people gave to all<br />
causes $4.76 per capita. In 1944 they gave to all causes $7.08 per capita <strong>and</strong><br />
in 1945 they gave $12.35 per capita.<br />
Another good indication of progress in this respect is the fact that three<br />
more of our churches have reached the point of becoming self-sustaining in<br />
this year, bringing the total number of self-sustaining churches up to seven<br />
on the field.<br />
•<br />
Another splendid feature of our educational program has been the periodical<br />
"El Bautista Mexicano." The number of subscriptions has been enlarged<br />
from 2,000 last year to 2400 at the present time. This paper has consisted<br />
of <strong>six</strong>teen pages during the past year, but the prospect is good for enlarging<br />
it to twenty-four pages <strong>and</strong> including some other special features.<br />
The work of our Spanish Department has progressed considerably by the<br />
enlargement of our personnel. During the year we have been able to acquire<br />
approximately <strong>forty</strong> new missionaries, counting men <strong>and</strong> their wives. Also we<br />
have been able to open a number of fields that had been desolate before.<br />
We are grateful not only for the progress that has been made in the work<br />
but also for the prospects for the future. We are expecting to have a goodly<br />
number of new <strong>and</strong> well trained workers available for the work within the next<br />
few years. Our training program is becoming larger <strong>and</strong> more accelerated all<br />
along. Our Anglo-American churches in the areas where the Spanish speaking<br />
work is needed are awakening to the tremendous opportunities that these people<br />
afford <strong>and</strong> to their own responsibilities toward the Spanish speaking population.<br />
A few years ago, we found it difficult to obtain the cooperation of the<br />
Anglo-American churches at times for the Spanish speaking mission work. On<br />
one occasion I received a very cold reception on the part of a certain pastor when<br />
1 approached him about leading his church to cooperate in the program. However,<br />
this same pastor recently called me to come across most of the State of<br />
inthe work m church <strong>and</strong> encourage them to cooperate more effectively<br />
TV,o3 h f; Me * icaI \ congregations also are awakening to their own possibilities<br />

HOME MISSION BOARD 339<br />
The second great problem we face grows out of the first. It is prejudice.<br />
Prejudice is "being down on what you are not up on." There still prevails a<br />
great deal of race prejudice between the Anglos <strong>and</strong> the Spanish speaking<br />
people of the Southwest, particularly in Texas. It is difficult to win Spanish<br />
speaking people to Christ when some of the Anglo Christians show such an<br />
unchristian prejudice. Also it is difficult for the Anglo people to work at the<br />
mission task when they know that some of the Mexicans do not appreciate what<br />
they are doing. A still stronger prejudice we must overcome is religious prejudice.<br />
There are some Baptists who believe that the Spanish speaking people<br />
are altogether Roman Catholic, that they are happy in their church, <strong>and</strong> that it is<br />
not ethical or proper for us to undertake to evangelize them. However, on the<br />
other h<strong>and</strong> we find on the part of the Spanish speaking people many who are<br />
fanatical <strong>and</strong> who do not lend themselves to the Gospel <strong>and</strong> who furthermore<br />
hinder others from coming to Christ.<br />
The third great problem which we must overcome is that of insufficiency.<br />
This in part grows out of the other two just named. At the present time we<br />
have a ratio of only one worker for approximately 12,000 people. We are not<br />
able to increase our force because more workers are not available.<br />
We have enlarged the salaries of most of our missionaries twice within the<br />
past three years. However, these salaries have always been very small <strong>and</strong> are<br />
still entirely inadequate <strong>and</strong> unfair as compared to salaries that other workers<br />
in other fields under other auspices receive. The buildings <strong>and</strong> equipment which<br />
we are using are entirely inadequate. In fact, with the possible exception of the<br />
building which is just being completed at Beeville, Texas, we have not a single<br />
completely adequate church building on all this field.<br />
The fourth <strong>and</strong> perhaps the greatest problem which we face is the apathy of<br />
Southern Baptists toward the tremendous responsibility <strong>and</strong> opportunity of the<br />
mission work among the Spanish speaking people as well as other nationalities<br />
in our midst. God grant us an awakening to this tremendous day of opportunity<br />
among the Latin Americans here <strong>and</strong> through them to the Latin American<br />
world.<br />
BUILDING AND EQUIPMENT<br />
REV. E. L. KELLEY. Superintendent<br />
During the year 1945 we have succeeded in securing thirteen new pieces<br />
of property. We have bought or built ten new pastors' homes, made ten repair<br />
jobs <strong>and</strong> built eight new church houses at a total cost of $62,416.03. Of this<br />
amount $45,770.03 was appropriated by the Home Mission Board, the balance<br />
spent was given by Anglo <strong>and</strong> Mexican Baptist churches, the amount being<br />
$16,646.00.<br />
Our needs for 1946 according to a recent survey reveals that there are<br />
fifty-five cities <strong>and</strong> towns in Texas that urgently need adequately equipped<br />
houses of worship <strong>and</strong> pastors' homes, <strong>and</strong> it will take $322,140.00 to provide<br />
them. In some places the local forces will supply fifty per cent of the amount<br />
needed; in other places it must .be supplied nearly entirely by the Home Mission<br />
Board. There are many other places that we need to enter <strong>and</strong> begin our work<br />
where we have no buildings at all. This would require at least another<br />
$100,000.00<br />
There is an urgent need of $45,000.00 for buildings in Arizona. New<br />
Mexico needs $66,000.00 immediately. New Orleans, Louisiana, needs at least<br />
$15,000.00 for buildings. Florida needs $25,000.00. Illinois needs $2,000.00.<br />
California needs $45,000.00.<br />
SUMMARY OF SPANISH-MEXICAN VACATION BIBLE SCHOOLS<br />
The report of the Vacation Bible Schools on our Spanish fields during the<br />
summer of 1945 shows that there were 166 schools with an enrollment of 8,331<br />
<strong>and</strong> an average attendance of 7,338. The workers in these schools reported<br />
954 conversions.

INDIAN WORK<br />
J. B. ROUNDS, Superintendent<br />
Nineteen <strong>hundred</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>forty</strong>-five was a great year with the Indians. Since<br />
that was our year of evangelistic endeavor, we set a goal of 1,000 souls saved<br />
<strong>and</strong> baptized among the Indians. In Florida, where the evangelistic spirit had<br />
not been much in evidence for several years, we set a goal for 50 baptisms.<br />
They baptized 94. There are only about 700 Indians in the State, thus we<br />
baptized nearly one-seventh of the tribe in one year. Rev. Stanley Smith is<br />
our great evangelistic fire there. In North Carolina, we set a goal of 100 <strong>and</strong><br />
they baptized 127 This work was due to cooperation between Rev. J. J. Johnson<br />
<strong>and</strong> the Cherokee Indian preachers. In Alabama, we onlv hanriVen- Q In<br />

instructing Indians at Dania. Rev. D. 0. Jernigan has opened a new work near<br />
Okeechobee that has great promise. Agnes Parker <strong>and</strong> Bettie Mae Tiger are<br />
in Lawton, Oklahoma, preparing tremselves as trained nurses.<br />
In North Carolina, we are facing the wrecking of the present plant, <strong>and</strong><br />
the erection of a new church <strong>and</strong> parsonage there. Alfred Walkingstick is in<br />
Bacone studying for the ministry, <strong>and</strong> Miss Dinah Smoker is there preparing<br />
herself for missionary work. She is a very fine Christian character.<br />
In Alabama, we have purchased a <strong>forty</strong> acre assembly ground <strong>and</strong> built a<br />
beautiful summer tabernacle with the help of the W. M. U. We had a summer<br />
assembly <strong>and</strong> Bible Institute there in August. A new interest in cooperation<br />
among the churches has been developed through this assembly. We have<br />
been given $6,000 to build an adequate church plant for the Reeds Chapel<br />
Church.<br />
In Mississippi, Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. W. W. Simpson are general missionary workers<br />
among the Choctaws. They have a new missionary home at Philadelphia,<br />
Mississippi, which is at the center of Choctaw Indian interests in that State. In<br />
our Bible Institute held in October there were four volunteers for missionary<br />
work from among their young people. The white churches provided groceries<br />
which fed the people who attended the Institute.<br />
In Oklahoma, Rev. A. W. Hancock is planning for a church <strong>and</strong> parsonage<br />
at Jones Academy near Hartshorne where a well prepared pastor may have an<br />
adequate church plant for the training of the student body in that school. This<br />
will be a great contribution to the development of the Choctaw people.<br />
Rev. Mose Wesley has organized a church at Hugo <strong>and</strong> tends in the direction<br />
of another church at Broken Bow. These churches are in a section of<br />
the Choctaw nation where there are many Indians who have been neglected by<br />
our Baptist people.<br />
Rev. Thomas Wade is doing a fine work near Atoka where he is re-opening<br />
churches that have been closed for years.' The Atoka Church pays half his<br />
salary.<br />
Rev. Lewis Hancock resigned as our missionary at Anadarko that he may<br />
enter the Seminary <strong>and</strong> hopes later to re-enter the Indian missionary work<br />
when he completes his, seminary training.<br />
Mrs. Home Grimmett is doing an excellent work among the Indian women<br />
of Oklahoma. In Oklahoma, we have added Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Bennie Wind as<br />
missionaries to the Shawnees <strong>and</strong> Creeks. Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. R. A. Collier have<br />
gone to the Pawnees, <strong>and</strong> have been doing a high grade of work on that great<br />
difficult field. Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. V. J. Zunigha were transferred to the Little Ax<br />
Shawnees <strong>and</strong> the Pottawatomles.<br />
In New Mexico we face a battle with pagan <strong>and</strong> Catholic forces in which<br />
persecution has a strong h<strong>and</strong>. When Rose Mirabal, a Taos Indian, came to our<br />
All-Indian Summer Camp, the police of her pueblo threatened to arrest her <strong>and</strong><br />
put her in jail for attending that Baptist meeting. A Jemez Indian woman<br />
was told not to come back to the Jemez pueblo if she was baptized. I was told<br />
one woman was whipped when she joined the Baptist Church. But our work<br />
in New Mexico is making marked progress. Miss Pauline Cammack <strong>and</strong> Miss<br />
Doris Christenson are doing wonderful work at Santa Fe <strong>and</strong> the seven pueblos<br />
between there <strong>and</strong> Taos. The Wilsons are leading in a fine way at the Indian<br />
Center in Albuquerque. The school work at Albuquerque under the direction<br />
of Rev. C. W. Stumph is taking on renewed interest <strong>and</strong> changes there in the<br />
rules of the school are to our advantage. Rev. Robert Sieg is doing a magnificent<br />
work among the Lagunas, <strong>and</strong> probably the greatest movement toward<br />
evangelism in the State among the Indians is at Laguna.<br />
Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Lewis Grant are doing good work at Gallup, but the serious<br />
illness of Mrs. Grant was a heavy h<strong>and</strong>icap. We are hoping to open new fields<br />
in New Mexico this year. It is difficult to secure workers, <strong>and</strong> Bernalillo which<br />
we planned to open sometime ago is still not opened because we have not been<br />
able to secure the workers. We need a missionary at the Alamo Navajo Field,<br />
<strong>and</strong> a general missionary for the Navajos of New Mexico <strong>and</strong> Arizona.<br />
• In Arizona, Rev. <strong>and</strong> Mrs. C. F. Frazier are carrying on under crushing<br />
loads. We must have three more missionary families there as soon as they<br />
are available. We need a missionary at Sacaton to relieve Brother<br />
Frazier for general missionary work. We need a missionary pastor at<br />
Sells among the Papagos where Mrs. Helen Lloyd Hardman is now at work.
342 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
Then we need a new Indian Center at Phoenix. Rev. Luke Johnson is doing<br />
good work at Casa Blanca Pima Indian Church. Some lay preachers are helping<br />
Brother Frazier on some of his fields <strong>and</strong> the work moves along well with<br />
their aid.<br />
NEW MOVES TO MEET OUR NEEDS<br />
In Alabama, we purchased a 40 acre assembly ground <strong>and</strong> had a great assembly<br />
there in August. This has proven a most helpful movement <strong>and</strong> the<br />
Indians are looking forward to the 1946 assembly with delight.<br />
We should have some modest dormitories to help meet the needs of the<br />
Indians in certain locations for their scholastic training.<br />
I believe someone should establish a few canning factories in certain centers<br />
to help the Indians get started in producing, preparing, <strong>and</strong> preserving<br />
food stuffs they raise. I am trying to encourage them in raising chickens, hogs,<br />
<strong>and</strong> cattle of a higher grade which will better the living conditions <strong>and</strong> raise<br />
prices in marketable products. This is badly needed in certain sections.<br />
My desire is that the Indians may be Christianized, developed, <strong>and</strong> given a<br />
place on a high plane of cultural <strong>and</strong> economic vantage ground in these years<br />
of the making of a new world.<br />

WORK AMONG THE FRENCH<br />
This is an opportune time to reach our French people. They are becoming<br />
more interested in Bible Study <strong>and</strong> m hearing the Gospel message<br />
_ There are approximately 700,000 people of French descent in the Southern<br />
Baptist Convention. We have at present only 23 missionaries of the Home<br />
Mission Board working among these people. We have added during the past<br />

WORK AMONG THE ITALIANS<br />
Rev. J. F. Plainfield who rendered a very fine service as a general field wor<br />
er, retired at the close of the year. We are glad to pay tribute to the fine service<br />
rendered to the Italian people <strong>and</strong> to our mission work in general by this<br />
great hero of faith.<br />
We now have work among the Italians in Birmingham, Alabama, in Tampa,<br />
Florida, in Benld <strong>and</strong> Wilsonville, Illinois <strong>and</strong> we are supporting a general<br />
missionary among the Italians in Illinois.<br />
Baptists have reached a smaller per cent of their possibilities among the<br />
Italians than among any other group. There are about 650,000 Italians in our<br />
Convention territory <strong>and</strong> Southern Baptists have only five or <strong>six</strong> Baptist<br />
churches ministering to this multitude. Of course some of the Italian people<br />
belong to our Anglo churches, but most of them are unreached by evangelical<br />
Christianity.<br />

We now have work among the Chinese at Norfolk, Virginia, with two workers,<br />

There has been a very definite increase in the interest of our Chinese people<br />
in the Gospel. Plans are being made to enlarge <strong>and</strong> improve some of the mission<br />
buildings <strong>and</strong> make possible a more effective work in these fields that we now<br />
occupy. We are also hoping to do some work among the Chinese in the Mississippi<br />
Valley.<br />

Rev. C. A. Brantley, superintendent of the Men's Rescue Mission <strong>and</strong> of the<br />
Woman's Emergency Home, both of which are located in New Orleans, has<br />
rendered a very fine service in directing the work of these homes.<br />
During the war, there was less need than usual for the ministry of the<br />
Men's Rescue Mission. However, the records of the past few months indicate<br />
that there will be an increasing dem<strong>and</strong> for this type of ministry in the months<br />
ahead.<br />
There have been more applications for admittance to the Woman's Emergency<br />

Much of the work in the mountain areas is being carried on in connection<br />
with the rural mission program. For the present, however, we are supporting<br />
three workers, giving their time to these rural churches <strong>and</strong> mountain areas.<br />
Rev. Percy Ray, who has been in this work for more than ten years, has<br />
helped to build twenty-seven church buildings, is now constructing nine others<br />
<strong>and</strong> during this period of his ministry has won about 8,000 to the Lord.<br />

REPORT OF SUMMER MISSION PROGRAM<br />
During the past summer the Home Mission Board employed 206 students<br />
to work during the months of June, July <strong>and</strong> August.<br />
to work with one of our regular missionaries.<br />
Each student is assigned<br />
Every precaution is taken in the selection <strong>and</strong> assignment of these workers.<br />
Each fills out an application for appointment <strong>and</strong> must be recommended by at<br />
least three well known Baptists who give detailed information concerning his<br />
aptitudes <strong>and</strong> abilities. These workers then meet by groups at the beginning of<br />
the summer to receive instructions for work.<br />
The record of these workers is truly outst<strong>and</strong>ing. Though they were working<br />
in the most difficult fields in the South, they averaged one conversion per<br />
student per week during the time of their service.<br />
By using these students the Home Mission Board is helping to secure recruits<br />
for mission service <strong>and</strong> to assist these young people to find their interests<br />
<strong>and</strong> abilities.<br />

SECTION XII<br />
THE CHURCH BUILDING LOAN FUND<br />
J. B. LAWRENCE. Superintendent<br />
The Church Building Loan Fund is a trust fund consisting of gifts made<br />
by many individuals <strong>and</strong> churches years ago, most of which were memorials<br />
to individuals. The Home Mission Board was made trustee of the fund, which<br />
was to be lent to churches to aid in construction of new buildings, or in refinancing<br />
debts on church property. The loans were to be adequately secured<br />
<strong>and</strong> to bear moderate interest. After expenses of administration were paid<br />
the net income was to be added to the corpus. None of the funds were to be<br />
given away, nor to be used as a mission promotion fund.<br />
The restrictions on construction are being removed, <strong>and</strong> as new buildings<br />
are being erected by churches in the next few years, it is expected that all<br />
of the funds may soon be back in use as aid in financing the church properties<br />
as originally intended.<br />
The debts of the churches have generally been paid off, <strong>and</strong> since new loans<br />
were not available the funds have been temporarily invested in U. S. Government<br />
bonds, of which the trust now has $1,116,023.50. It holds $115,716.78 in<br />
other securities <strong>and</strong> property, <strong>and</strong> cash amounting to $127,870.96. There are<br />
$186,926.18 in loans to churches. Many loans have been approved <strong>and</strong> as<br />
construction proceeds will be closed. The total corpus of the fund is $1,546,<br />
537.42. \<br />
The fund is available for churches under the rules <strong>and</strong> regulations set up<br />
by the Home Mission Board as trustee in keeping with the purposes of the<br />
trust.<br />
There will be great dem<strong>and</strong> SECTION for church XIII loans upon removal of building<br />
TREASURER'S restrictions <strong>and</strong> availability REPORT of materials. It is fervently hoped that churches<br />
FOR will THE use CALENDAR good judgment YEAR 1945 in building programs, <strong>and</strong> not become embarrassed by<br />
debt, as so many did after the first World War.<br />

OTHER MISSION WORK<br />
The Department of Jewish Work is helping to plan <strong>and</strong> work for the salvation<br />
of 800,000 Jews in the South.<br />
The Department of Evangelism is cooperating with the churches <strong>and</strong> other<br />
denominational agencies in reaching 20,000,000 unevangelized for Christ.<br />
The Department of Camp Work is cooperating with our Baptist chaplains<br />
in ministering to our service men. About 91,750 were won to the Lord by<br />
our Chaplains in 1945.
354 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
The Department of Schools of Missions <strong>and</strong> the Department of Missionary<br />
Education are seeking to give missionary information <strong>and</strong> stimulate mission<br />
interest among our Baptist people throughout the South*<br />
Our Field Workers of the Home Mission Board assist the churches <strong>and</strong> denominational<br />
groups with mission programs <strong>and</strong> serve in general missionary<br />
activities.<br />
The students employed in our Summer Student Mission Program (206<br />
employed in summer of 1945) assist our regularly appointed missionaries in<br />
their respective tasks, thus gaining first h<strong>and</strong> information <strong>and</strong> experience in<br />
mission work <strong>and</strong> at the same time rendering splendid service where the work<br />
is most needed.<br />
The Home Mission Board has 587 churches <strong>and</strong> missions <strong>and</strong> needs 326<br />
more. It has 702 missionaries <strong>and</strong> workers <strong>and</strong> needs 389 more. It needs<br />
$2,616,000 for mission properties <strong>and</strong> $1,300,000 per year for operation.
FIFTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT<br />
The Sunday School Board<br />
T. L. HOLCOMB, Executive Secretary-Treasurer<br />
DIVISION HEADS<br />
HAROLD E. INGRAHAM, Business Management<br />
CLIFTON J. ALLEN. Editorial Secretary<br />
JEROME O. WILLIAMS. Education <strong>and</strong> Promotion<br />
Fifty-five years of faithful service to the churches <strong>and</strong> to the denomination<br />
is the record of the Sunday School Board. It has sought diligently never to involve<br />
the Convention in debt or strife. The Board has been ever mindful of the<br />
authority of the Convention <strong>and</strong> has endeavored to carry out all instructions expressed<br />
or implied. It has worked in harmonious co-operation with all of the Convention<br />
boards, institutions, <strong>and</strong> agencies.<br />
As Southern Baptists began a new century, we adopted the slogan, "Launching<br />
a Century with Christ." It is our desire to company with him. We know<br />
that we must not run ahead of him, nor do we want to follow afar off. We<br />
would like to be near enough to hear his voice <strong>and</strong> have our hearts constantly<br />
quickened with an impelling desire to obey his Great Commission.<br />
Praying, therefore, for the power <strong>and</strong> guidance of the Holy Spirit, we rededicate<br />
ourselves <strong>and</strong> the resources of the Board to carry on the varied ministries<br />
committed to us by the Convention.<br />
BOARD MEETINGS<br />
The members of the Sunday School Board accept their responsibility <strong>and</strong><br />
endeavor to perform their duty faithfully. Two regular meetings of the full<br />
Board have been held during the year. The local Board has held monthly meetings<br />
<strong>and</strong> a complete record of the proceedings has been sent to each member.<br />
This gives an opportunity for every member to be kept informed of the Board's<br />
business <strong>and</strong> activities.<br />
• • •<br />
INTERESTING COMPARISONS<br />
The Board's receipts from all sources for 1945 were $4,526,751.00, which is<br />
an increase of $368,866.86 over the previous year.<br />
The total amount expended by the Board in denominational appropriations,<br />
including a special donation of $100,000.00 to the four Seminaries <strong>and</strong> the work<br />
of the promotional departments for 1945, was $834,971.65, an increase of $178,<br />
353.40 over the preceding year.<br />
• • •<br />
IMPORTANT GAINS IN 1945<br />
The report of the Sunday school work for the past year is most encouraging.<br />
There was an increase of 459 Sunday schools <strong>and</strong> 152,401 in enrolment over the<br />
previous year; awards granted for Sunday school training courses were 182,247,<br />
an increase of 9,129.<br />
The facts about the Baptist Training Union were equally as encouraging.<br />
There was a gain of 1,512 in the number of unions, <strong>and</strong> an increase of 87,620 in<br />
enrolment. There were 275,388 awards issued for their study courses, which<br />
was a gain of 22,524.<br />
The Vacation Bible School continues to grow in numbers. There were<br />
10,222 schools reported as having been held in 1945, with an enrolment of<br />
801,218. Approximately 75,000 of these pupils attended no Sunday school.<br />
[355]
356 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
There were 21,520 conversions reported by 6,827 schools, <strong>and</strong> some 10,000<br />
children united with the churches.<br />
OUR CO-OPERATION WITH OTHER CONVENTION AGENCESS<br />
The Board has continued co-operative relationships with other de<br />
agencies during the year:<br />
A Convention Budget was authorized for 1945, <strong>and</strong> an obligation of a<br />
monthly contribution of $5,000.00 to the Executive Committee was placed on<br />
the Sunday School Board as its pro rata share of that Budget. Out of that<br />
amount the Committee makes a contribution to the work fostered by the Baptist<br />
Brotherhood of the South; to the Baptist World Alliance; <strong>and</strong> as a fixed<br />
Convention expense provides for the various Committee meetings during the<br />
year. Previously, these items had been taken care of directly by our Board.<br />
In addition to the $60,000.00 contributed to the Executive Committee, the<br />
Board continues to provide their headquarters.<br />
A contribution of $3,200.00 was made to the Woman's Missionary Union for<br />
its rent <strong>and</strong> general expenses.<br />
The Board has continued its contribution of $1,200.00 each to the W.M.U.<br />
Training School, Louisville; Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Fort<br />
Worth, <strong>and</strong> the Baptist Bible Institute, New Orleans, to enable them to maintain<br />
a helpful course of study along the lines of work committed to us.<br />
Nine $100.00 scholarships have been continued to the American Baptist<br />
Theological Seminary, Nashville: <strong>six</strong> of them to be used by worthy Negro<br />
ministers at the Seminary, <strong>and</strong> three to be used by worthy women students in<br />
the Training School of DISPOSITION that institution. or OUR EARNINGS<br />
A careful examination of the following table will indicate how vitally the<br />
earnings of the Sunday School Board enter into our denominational life <strong>and</strong><br />
now essential are these contributions which are made to the maintenance of<br />
the work of other Convention agencies:<br />

RETURN OF WORKERS FROM ARMED FORCES<br />
We rejoice that the close of the war has made possible the return of practically<br />
all of our men. Mr. Noble Van Ness, discharged with the rank of major<br />
after <strong>forty</strong> months' duty in the Army, has resumed his position as production<br />
manager <strong>and</strong> head of the Production Department. Mr. A. V. Washburn, Lt.<br />
(j-g-), was discharged after twenty-eight months' service in the Navy. He has<br />
come back to the Sunday School Department as secretary of teaching <strong>and</strong> training.<br />
Mr. Herman L. King, after twenty-two months in the Navy, has returned<br />
likewise to the Sunday School Department <strong>and</strong> is now secretary of st<strong>and</strong>ards<br />
<strong>and</strong> records. We wish to record our appreciation for the faithfulness <strong>and</strong><br />
efficiency of these men in the past <strong>and</strong> for the reinforcement they will give<br />
through their service <strong>and</strong> leadership as we face the exp<strong>and</strong>ing opportunities of<br />
the future.<br />
COMING OF NEW WORKERS<br />
The Sunday School Board personnel has been markedly blessed <strong>and</strong> strengthened<br />
within the past year through the coming of three splendid men to positions<br />
of major responsibility. Mr. Porter Routh, a native of Texas, for several years<br />
engaged in serving Oklahoma Baptists <strong>and</strong> for two <strong>and</strong> a half years editor of<br />
the Baptist Messenger, came September 15 to become the secretary of the Department<br />
of Survey, Statistics, <strong>and</strong> Information. Already he is demonstrating<br />
superior gifts (special fitness) for the service rendered by this department. Rev.<br />
Joe W. Burton, for ten years connected with the Home Mission Board, first as<br />
publicity secretary <strong>and</strong> more recently as secretary of education, came the first<br />
of this year to become secretary of the Department of Home Curriculum <strong>and</strong><br />
editor of the materials to be published in this field. Through the materials<br />
prepared under his direction we desire to help save the homes of our l<strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> promote the highest type of Christian family life among Southern Baptists.<br />
Mr. Earl Waldrup, a M.R.E. graduate of Southwestern Baptist Theological<br />
Seminary <strong>and</strong> a c<strong>and</strong>idate for the M.A. at Baylor University, came to us as<br />
secretary of Visual Education Service. He has desired for some years to dedicate<br />
his life to service of this nature. We anticipate a ministry of large proportions<br />
as our churches utilize increasingly the varied means of visual education<br />
to present the Christian message <strong>and</strong> work.<br />
MINISTRY THROUGH BOOKS<br />
Appreciating fully the power of the printed page the Sunday School Board<br />
frankly acknowledges its stewardship <strong>and</strong> accepts its responsibility as a publisher<br />
<strong>and</strong> as a distributor of books.<br />
In this, as in all of our ministry, we accept without modification the Bible<br />
as the inspired Word of God; to us the Bible is not on trial, for it has stood<br />
every test through the centuries. We are unequivocally committed to the<br />
doctrinal position of Southern Baptists, <strong>and</strong> are determined to do all that is<br />
possible to interpret, support, <strong>and</strong> extend this position.
358 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
FACTS GLEANED FROM THE REPORT<br />
Our Music Offer Re-stated:<br />
Several of the state mission boards have accepted the Board's proposition to<br />
co-operate in setting forward the entire church music emphasis <strong>and</strong> we are getting<br />
good reports from them. We are greatly interested in our young people, including<br />
the boys <strong>and</strong> girls, <strong>and</strong> believe that the Age-Group Choir organization<br />
plan would utilize them in such a way as to mean much to our church services.<br />
Our offer is to participate financially with the state boards on the following<br />
basis: ,<br />
The Sunday School Board will pay one-third of the salary of a full-ti<br />
well-qualified Secretary of Music, our share in any state not to exceed<br />
$1,200.00 annually. It is understood that the Secretary of Music in each<br />
state will work in co-operation with our Department of Church Music in the<br />
same way that the Sunday school, Training Union, <strong>and</strong> Student departments<br />
in the various states work with those of our Board.<br />
A Special Student Offer:<br />
A number of the Baptist colleges have accepted the Board's offer to participate<br />
financially, on the conditions outlined, to the extent of one-fourth of the<br />
salary of a full-time Student Secretary who is to be neither a member of the<br />
student body nor of the faculty, but a nexus between the two. The purpose of<br />
this offer is a desire to be of assistance, <strong>and</strong> to enjoy an even closer co-operation<br />
with our Baptist schools in the promotion of student religious activities.<br />

We have printed 5,270,000 copies during the past year, which brings our<br />
tract issues to the gr<strong>and</strong> total of 52,965,369. These are available in conservative<br />
quantities for judicious distribution through pastors <strong>and</strong> workers throughout<br />
our Convention territory. Requests for them should be made to the Executive<br />

MISSIONARY DAYS IN SUNDAY SCHOOL<br />
Two program committees served with the Sunday School Board in preparing<br />
<strong>and</strong> mailing two Southwide Missionary Day programs—one each for October<br />
<strong>and</strong> March. Both these programs were printed in The Quarterly Review (fourth<br />
<strong>and</strong> first quarters, respectively), <strong>and</strong> in The Sunday School Builder for March,<br />
1946.<br />
For October 28, 1945, the State Mission Dav Program, "Building a Christian<br />
Commonwealth," was written by J. Howard Williams. (By courtesy of the<br />
Sunday bchool Board, without cost to the states, an extra program foldermaking<br />
a total of three—was included in a complete set of State Mission Day<br />
material. Space was not available to print, as usual, the program in The Teacher<br />
<strong>and</strong> The Sunday School Builder for October, <strong>and</strong> in The Teacher for March.<br />
For March 31, 1946, the Home <strong>and</strong> Foreign Missions Dav Program, "Southern<br />
Baptists <strong>and</strong> World Needs," was written by Joe W. Burton.<br />

vades the privacy of the homes of the l<strong>and</strong> through the radio. In both cases it<br />
violates, in spirit at least, the law which requires truthful advertising on the part<br />
of just ordinary businesses. If liquor were required to tell the truth in its<br />
advertisements we would rejoice in the extension of such publicity.<br />
Within very recent years beverage alcohol has made some advances up the<br />
ladder of respectability. In addition to educational scholarships, contributions<br />
to certain religious organizations, <strong>and</strong> to Y.M.C.A.'s, <strong>and</strong> Y.W.C.A.'s, liquor<br />
has recently become a sponsor of the Boy Scouts in certain communities <strong>and</strong> is<br />
actively supporting movements to build hospitals to take care of alcoholics who,<br />
in the opinion of liquor, are sick people, <strong>and</strong>, of course, should be treated as such.<br />
We have the utmost sympathy for any victim of liquor but we object seriously<br />
to this effort to relieve the alcoholic of responsibility for his condition. No<br />
matter how much liquor may be had in the l<strong>and</strong>, one has to voluntarily drink<br />
it before it can have any effect on him. Liquor has become conspicuous also in<br />
its advocacy of schools for the purpose of studying the effects of liquor upon<br />
the human body. A majority of those who attend such schools are what we might<br />
call social drinkers who believe that beverage alcohol is a luxury which should<br />
be used by a gentleman in a gentlemanly way.<br />
Through social channels, especially the more exclusive ones, liquor is winning<br />
recruits from officials <strong>and</strong> members of most churches. In fact, this situation<br />
is possibly the most serious that we face at all. We have found some local<br />
church covenants from which the words committing the members to total<br />
abstinence had been eliminated. We believe that the time is right at h<strong>and</strong>, if<br />
not already present, when our churches must insist upon the observance of<br />
their covenants or surrender them. We have little hope of correcting the more<br />
or less glamorous conditions that obtain among certain elements of our young<br />
people until their fathers <strong>and</strong> mothers <strong>and</strong> older people generally manifest enough<br />
interest in youth to deny themselves the very doubtful satisfactions of even<br />
occasional indulgence in beverage alcohol.<br />
The Sunday School Board continues to be solidly opposed to liquor. It believes<br />
that liquor's influence is wholly bad, that it has no redeeming features,<br />
that it is responsible for more misery <strong>and</strong> unhappiness in the world than any<br />
other one thing, that it is the most dependable agent of the devil, <strong>and</strong> that it<br />
continues to be the archenemy of everything dear to the heart of our Lord. We<br />
have no notion of surrendering <strong>and</strong> shall continue to use every facility at our<br />
disposal against this enormous evil.<br />
FINANCIAL STATEMENT<br />
The accounts <strong>and</strong> records of the Board as kept by the Accounting Departme<br />
are thoroughly audited at the end of each year <strong>and</strong> a copy of that audit is given<br />

We have audited the books of account <strong>and</strong> records of the Sunday School Board of the<br />
Southern Baptist Convention, Nashville, Tennessee, for the year ended December 31 1945,<br />
<strong>and</strong> in our opinion the attached balance sheet fairly represents the financial position'of the<br />
Board at December 31. 1945. subject to the remarks contained in our detailed audit report.<br />

SUNDAY SCHOOL BOARD 367<br />
The Sunday School Board Through<br />
Fifty-four Years<br />
P. E. BURROUGHS<br />
When Southern Baptists met it Augusta, Georgia, to form the Southern<br />
Baptist Convention, they faced four imperative needs: (1) Domestic missions,<br />
(2) Foreign missions, (3) Theological education, <strong>and</strong> (4) Publication.<br />
To the first two of these needs immediate attention was given. They<br />
originated a Domestic Mission Board <strong>and</strong> sent it to Marion, Alabama; <strong>and</strong><br />
they launched a Foreign Mission Board <strong>and</strong> sent it to Richmond, Virginia.<br />
The other needs—for theological education <strong>and</strong> for publication—were discussed<br />
in quiet circles during the Augusta meeting, but no definite action was<br />
taken. The Convention did debate at some length the question of "An Independent<br />
Southern Baptist Publication Board." A motion to lay on the table<br />
prevailed.<br />
Forty-<strong>six</strong> years, marked by official <strong>and</strong> semi-official ventures, all of which<br />
failed, passed before the "Independent Southern Baptist Publication Board"<br />
came into being. During its annual session in May, 1891, at Birmingham, Alabama,<br />
after long <strong>and</strong> acrimonious discussion, the Convention established the<br />
desired publication agency. The new venture was called the Sunday School<br />
Board. The story of the Sunday School Board, a story of romance <strong>and</strong> charm,<br />
has been many times told. In response to a request from the powers that be,<br />
we undertake here a "concise but comprehensive sketch" of the fifty-four years<br />
of the Board's life <strong>and</strong> service.<br />
This sketch of the Sunday School Board's growth may well fall into three<br />
cycles, each limited <strong>and</strong> defined by the administration of the men who have<br />
served as chief executives.<br />
The cycles are as follows:<br />
The Founding Era, under J. M. Frost; 1891-1916<br />
The Exp<strong>and</strong>ing Era, under I. J. Van Ness; 1917-1935<br />
The Achieving Era, under T. L. Holcomb; 1935—<br />
We think, first, of the Founding Era, under the leadership of Dr. J. M. Frost.<br />
It has been well <strong>and</strong> truly said that an institution is frequently the lengthened<br />
shadow of some man. With the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, the<br />
man was James Pettigru Boyce. With the Southwestern Baptist Theological<br />
Seminary, the man was Benajah Harvey Carroll. In the case of the Sunday<br />
School Board, the man was James Marion Frost. When Dr. Frost was called<br />
from a pastorate in Richmond, Virginia, to guide the new venture, the institution<br />
had no name, no home, no organization, <strong>and</strong> no resources except the<br />
promise that when certain contracts had expired, it should have the Kind<br />
Words Series which was estimated to be worth $15,000.00 to $30,000.00. Twentyfive<br />
years later, when Dr. Frost fell at his post, the Board occupied a magnificent<br />
home, erected at a cost of $220,000.00 <strong>and</strong> was a flourishing <strong>and</strong> powerful<br />
institution. The venture was no longer an experiment. Through hardship, adversity,<br />
<strong>and</strong> criticism, the Board had risen to power, <strong>and</strong> had made for itself<br />
a place in the confidence <strong>and</strong> love of Southern Baptists.<br />
We consider, second, the Exp<strong>and</strong>ing Era, under the leadership of I. J. Van<br />
Ness.<br />
Dr. Frost had, like the veritable Moses he was, led through the wilderness to<br />
the very borders of the Promised L<strong>and</strong>. When the great founder <strong>and</strong> builder<br />
answered the call to come up higher there was lamentation <strong>and</strong> even consternation<br />
in the camps of the Sunday School Board. Happily a Joshua, valiant <strong>and</strong><br />
fully trained, was at h<strong>and</strong>. Through 17 years Dr. I. J. Van Ness had walked at<br />
Dr. Frost's side, serving as Editorial Secretary. Quietly <strong>and</strong> confidently, the<br />
Board <strong>and</strong> the denomination turned to Dr. Van Ness as the logical <strong>and</strong> inevitable<br />
successor of Dr. Frost. Firm foundations had been laid, an enduring structure<br />
had been erected, wise <strong>and</strong> worthy courses had been charted. The way was wide<br />
open for the Exp<strong>and</strong>ing Era.<br />
History was made by wholesale. Some high peaks which illumine a wide<br />
trail will sufficiently indicate the expansion which marked these years:
368 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
1917—The Convention in session at New Orleans in May, elected Dr. Van<br />
Ness as Executive Secretary.<br />
E. C. Dargan <strong>and</strong> Hight C Moore became joint editors of the Sunday School<br />

With a united <strong>and</strong> generously supporting constituency, with constantly enlarging<br />
resources, with a trained <strong>and</strong> devoted organization which covers our<br />
territory from Maryl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> Virginia around to California, with a will to win,<br />
<strong>and</strong> with complete confidence in the God who brought it into being, the Sunday<br />
School Board faces, with quiet confidence <strong>and</strong> with readiness to serve, the unparalleled<br />
opportunities <strong>and</strong> the imperative dem<strong>and</strong>s of the present day.<br />
Division of Business Management<br />
HAROLD E. INGRAHAM, Business Manager<br />
The increase of the total business of the Board as indicated in the Executive<br />
Secretary-Treasurer's report is glorious, <strong>and</strong> for it we give our praise to<br />
God continually. This constant increase means more <strong>and</strong> more work for the<br />
Business Division. We welcome it, we rejoice in it; our hearts exult because<br />
of the realization that this increase meaiis more Bible study <strong>and</strong> Christian<br />
training materials for more people throughout our territory <strong>and</strong> beyond.<br />
PERSONNEL<br />
Analysis of our permanently employed personnel reveals that during the<br />
calendar year of 1945, <strong>six</strong>ty-five new workers were added <strong>and</strong> <strong>forty</strong> left our<br />
employ. We rejoice in having been able to secure additional workers of high<br />
caliber. We are constantly on a search for such workers.<br />
Numbers of our military service personnel have returned. We have welcomed<br />
them everyone <strong>and</strong> have placed them at work in their old or better positions<br />
<strong>and</strong> all at more salary than they were receiving when they left. A few<br />
have gone into other fields of work. A few are yet to be released from service.<br />
MR. NOBLE VAN NESS<br />
Back after three years of military service in World War II Noble Van Ness<br />
took up his work as head of our Production Department January 1, 1946. He<br />
entered service as a lieutenant in October, 1942, <strong>and</strong> came out a major. As<br />
we face the future with greater increased needs, it is a strength indeed to have<br />
him again in this tremendously important place.<br />
COMMITTEES<br />
The Business Manager serves on various committees: The Advisory Committee<br />
of the Board, the Curriculum Committee, the Periodical Promotion Committee,<br />
the Book Committee, the Church Library Committee, the Visual Aids<br />
Committee. He is secretary of the Advisory <strong>and</strong> Curriculum Committees <strong>and</strong><br />
chairman of the Periodical Promotion Committee. These Committees are tremendously<br />
important in the work of the Board <strong>and</strong> serve as vital instrumentalities<br />
in carrying out the Executive Secretary's slogan, "the combined judgment<br />
<strong>and</strong> concerted action of all." In addition to formal committee meetings, there<br />
are numberless smaller informal groups that gather for conferences to make<br />
the best possible decisions. A new committee in the Administration Division<br />
has been recently set up, the Church Forms <strong>and</strong> Supplies Committee. This Committee<br />
is working effectively to perfect <strong>and</strong> offer all needed church record forms.<br />
letters, financial records, membership records, <strong>and</strong> many other items in this field.<br />
OUR BOOR STORES<br />
Our method of administering the work of the book stores is through group<br />
conferences held frequently <strong>and</strong> including the Executive Secretary, the Business<br />
Manager, <strong>and</strong> the heads of the Accounting, Order, Production, <strong>and</strong> Sales<br />
<strong>and</strong> Advertising Departments with the Business Manager acting as chairman.<br />
It is increasingly evident that additional general organization must be provided.
370 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
In spite of limitations <strong>and</strong> shortages, especially in much needed song books<br />
<strong>and</strong> various items of church supplies, the total 1945 Book Store business was<br />
10.40% over 1944. Every store showed an increase. We believe a greater increase<br />
will be shown in 1946. Three new stores have been opened since the<br />
last annual report. In Austin, Texas, a Baptist Book Store at 916 Congress,<br />
was purchased <strong>and</strong> made a part of our system. This store was opened April<br />
16, 1945, <strong>and</strong> Mr. Ira Harrison is now the manager. In Knoxville, Tennessee,<br />
we purchased the Church Supply Service <strong>and</strong> converted it into the Baptist<br />
Book Store, 618 S. Gay Street, with Dr. J. R. Black as manager. This store<br />
began operations August 1, 1945. In Chattanooga, Tennessee, we purchased a<br />
small book business, the Bible <strong>and</strong> Book Shop, <strong>and</strong> reopened it as the Baptist<br />
Book Store, 103 E. Sixth Street, with Miss June White as manager. This store<br />
opened August 15, 1945. A new store in Fresno, California, will be opened<br />
about June, 1946.<br />
Mr. Lacy R. Keele resigned as manager of the Dallas Store, effective March<br />
31, 1946. Mr. H. K. Killingsworth, manager at Oklahoma City, was transferred<br />
to Dallas, <strong>and</strong> Miss Mary Tongee, manager at Kansas City, was transferred to<br />
Oklahoma City. No appointment for Kansas City has yet been made. The list<br />
of the stores <strong>and</strong> their managers with addresses is usually carried in the directory<br />
division of the Southern Baptist Convention minutes.<br />
The prospects for 1946 are challenging beyond description. The great problem<br />
is the production <strong>and</strong> securing'of materials. Before the close of 1946 we<br />
believe song books, choir uniforms, communion ware, visual projectors, <strong>and</strong><br />
other greatly needed items will be available in almost sufficient amounts to<br />
meet the dem<strong>and</strong>s.<br />
Since last May adjustments <strong>and</strong> enlargements have been made in the physical<br />
equipment of a number of the Stores. The Kansas City store was moved<br />
from the fourth floor to more spacious quarters on the second floor. The Shreveport<br />
store moved from the fourth floor of an office building to an adequate street<br />
floor location. The Mississippi store lost its location but is occupying larger<br />
<strong>and</strong> better quarters temporarily while a permanent place is being sought. The<br />
Memphis store moved to a larger place <strong>and</strong> has a beautiful <strong>and</strong> adequate space.<br />
Enlargements have been made in the stores in Florida, Alabama, Arkansas, <strong>and</strong><br />
Illinois during the past year.<br />
Two special types of workers are being employed <strong>and</strong> trained for service<br />
through our Book Stores. We want in each store a church library worker who<br />
will master this field, co-operate with the Church Library Service of the Board<br />
here in Nashville, <strong>and</strong> carry out an educational <strong>and</strong> promotional program<br />
throughout the territory of the store looking toward the installation, operation,<br />

stituency to know that the Coleman books will be published by the Sunday<br />
School Board <strong>and</strong> will continue to carry the name Robert H. Coleman for all<br />
that it has meant <strong>and</strong> still means in the gospel music field.<br />
"THE ROMANCE OF A CENTURY"<br />
After much difficulty <strong>and</strong> delay, the film, "The Romance of a Century," o<br />
American Baptist beginnings <strong>and</strong> showing the highlights of one <strong>hundred</strong> years<br />
of Southern Baptist life, was completed <strong>and</strong> released September 1. Fifty 16millimeter<br />
<strong>and</strong> two 35-millimeter prints were made <strong>and</strong> have been in almost<br />
constant use all over our territory <strong>and</strong> in several foreign fields. When properly<br />
shown, the film is very effective, <strong>and</strong> certainly it has achieved an outst<strong>and</strong>ing<br />
denominational service. It was sponsored <strong>and</strong> prepared by the Executive Committee<br />
of the Southern Baptist Convention <strong>and</strong> produced by Filmcraft Productions<br />
for the Sunday School Board. Our Board bore the expense <strong>and</strong> has fostered<br />
its use. The rentals have not nearly paid for its production, but its contribution<br />
has been most helpful.<br />
PERIODICAL CIRCULATION<br />
We have experienced an increase of 2,093,586 in total periodical circul<br />
for 1945 over 1944 as indicated in the table given in this report. We are humbly<br />
grateful for this growth. It reflects the increased enrolment, reported elsewhere<br />
in the Sunday schools <strong>and</strong> Training Unions of our Southl<strong>and</strong>. The total circulation<br />
of all periodicals was 26,193,273 for 1945 as compared with 24,099,687<br />
for 1944.<br />
Study the figures! The Sunday school Adult Quarterly averages more than<br />
one million copies per issue! The Beginner Bible Story gained 114,558 for the<br />
year, <strong>and</strong> that is just for ages four <strong>and</strong> five in the Sunday School!<br />
The Sunday School Builder's fine increase is due to a combination of three<br />
other periodicals with the Builder, yet its total circulation is going to top the<br />
total of all four.<br />
The Training Union adult quarterly increased 114,871. The monthly Training<br />
Union Magazine <strong>and</strong> every Training<br />
SUNDAY<br />
Union<br />
SCHOOL<br />
periodical also enjoyed a good<br />
increase!<br />

THE B. H. CARROLL INTERPRETATION<br />
OF THE SCRIPTURES<br />
Temporarily this great set of books is.off the market. We have secured the<br />
manuscript for the four volumes needed to complete the set, <strong>and</strong> it is to be<br />
re-issued in a seventeen volume edition in new type with corrections, new format,<br />
<strong>and</strong> so forth. We believe it will take its place as a permanent leader in this<br />
field. We hope to have it ready this year.<br />
THE MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT<br />
Under the continued supervision of J. L. McDaniel the large task of keeping<br />
our three buildings in order goes smoothly ahead. Some <strong>six</strong>ty maintenance<br />
workers are under his direction for this task. Mr. William Donnell has been<br />
assigned as assistant to Mr. McDaniel in this work.<br />
ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT<br />
R. L. MIDDLETON, General Accountant<br />
The Accounting Department has enjoyed another very active <strong>and</strong> busy year<br />
during 1945. The enlarged ministry of our Baptist book stores has increased<br />
the volume of business received by the Sunday School Board through the book<br />
stores <strong>and</strong> other retail dealers. This has necessitated additional workers <strong>and</strong><br />
fortunately we have been able to secure some very capable help.<br />
In addition to our responsibility in the h<strong>and</strong>ling <strong>and</strong> auditing of our bills<br />
from publishers <strong>and</strong> manufacturers for book store purchases, the Accounting<br />
Department has many other responsibilities. During the four quarterly mailing<br />
periods we receive <strong>and</strong> h<strong>and</strong>le approrimately 45,000 customers' orders each<br />
quarter, which must be carefully audited <strong>and</strong> checked from every st<strong>and</strong>point.<br />
Our customers have co-operated with us in a splendid way by sending in their<br />
orders early, thus making it possible for us to give more time <strong>and</strong> attention to<br />
each order. Then, too, our customers have co-operated in a fine way in the<br />
matter of prompt payments on their accounts <strong>and</strong> we are grateful for this.<br />
Continued emphasis is placed on the protection we give to our incoming mail<br />
which contains payments to the Board for orders <strong>and</strong> on accounts. No one<br />
employee is allowed to complete a transaction where cash receipts <strong>and</strong> disbursements<br />
are involved. Each transaction is checked by several employees before<br />
final completion. We use the very newest <strong>and</strong> best equipment for our work <strong>and</strong><br />
we continue to be on the lookout for new methods <strong>and</strong> equipment to improve the<br />
efficient h<strong>and</strong>ling of every transaction.<br />
As has been the case during the past several years, the personnel of the<br />
Accounting Department has changed considerably. The return of our men from<br />
various war areas has reunited families <strong>and</strong> many of our employees have left to<br />
join their returning soldier husb<strong>and</strong>s <strong>and</strong> families. These have been replaced<br />
ern of by co-operation The other Baptist Accounting capable constituency.<br />
manifested workers Department by <strong>and</strong> our we welcomes employees.<br />
continue every to opportunity be grateful to for serve the our fine South spirit
374 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
MAILING AND SHIPPING DEPARTMENT<br />
HAROLD E. INGRAHAM<br />
The mailing <strong>and</strong> shipping work of the Board occupies seven full floors in<br />
two of our buildings. The entire business of the Board flows through these<br />
channels. Approximately <strong>six</strong>ty workers h<strong>and</strong>le this work regularly, <strong>and</strong> this<br />
number is doubled during the rush season. Everybody involved agrees that the<br />
last shipping period was the smoothest that any could remember. Part of the<br />
explanation was that a number of the regular experienced men had returned<br />
from the military service of our country <strong>and</strong> entered again into their work in<br />
these departments. The foremen of these various departments continue to work<br />
directly with the Business Manager. The Uniform Periodical Mailing, the<br />
Graded Periodical Mailing, the Receiving Room, the Wholesale Shipping Room,<br />
the Retail Shipping Room, the Service Room, <strong>and</strong> the Post Office with their<br />
various leaders <strong>and</strong> workers do a real job in h<strong>and</strong>ling the vast volume of material<br />
which must be received from various sources <strong>and</strong> shipped properly both to our<br />
wholesale customers <strong>and</strong> Stores, <strong>and</strong> to the many churches <strong>and</strong> individuals.<br />
We are grateful for the ORDER efficient service DEPARTMENT<br />
rendered by these workers.<br />
KEITH C. VON HAGEN. Secretary<br />
The work of the Order Department continues to grow with the increased<br />
business of the Sunday School Board <strong>and</strong> Baptist Book Stores. Most of the<br />
additional work has been absorbed through increased efficiency in the routine<br />
by our force. The number of full-time employees is 27, with 13 additional<br />
part-time helpers during each quarterly rush. This is only two more full-time<br />
workers than reported in 1942, notwithst<strong>and</strong>ing the increased volume of work<br />
to be h<strong>and</strong>led.<br />
Although we believe our methods are up-to-date <strong>and</strong> efficient we are always<br />
on the alert to improve the routine or to install new office equipment. Our<br />
thanks to the Business Manager for the purchase of another new Ditto machine<br />
(one of three) <strong>and</strong> a new electric typewriter yet to be installed.<br />
Now that prospects are bright for more literature to be available, more song<br />
books, aluminum communion ware, <strong>and</strong> dozens of other items coming on the<br />
market, we look forward to a year of increased service to our customers.<br />

SALES AND ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT<br />
GEORGE W. CARD, Secretary '<br />
It has been an exceedingly busy year for the Sales <strong>and</strong> Advertising Department.<br />
A number of changes in personnel have been made. Mr. Wallace<br />
Greene, director of copy <strong>and</strong> layout, left us at the close of the year. Miss<br />
Elizabeth Jacob of the Editorial Division has come to our Department to major<br />
on copy-writing. Mrs. B. M. Herron continues on layout work. Several extra<br />
persons have been employed part-time while continuing their studies at Peabody<br />
College.<br />
With the increased interest in Broadman books, plans are developing to<br />
bring into_ the Department some young man to promote the sale of our own<br />
book publications. During the year all catalogs have been revised; a special<br />
supplement to our Master Key Catalog is to be released early in 1946.<br />
A number of persons have been welcomed into the Department during the<br />
year for instruction preparatory to work in our Book Stores. In our sales<br />
promotion we have enjoyed the splendid co-operation of all of our Book Store<br />
Managers. In the Board's general program of expansion our Department has<br />
shared in Store improvements, giving attention to new equipment <strong>and</strong> classification<br />
<strong>and</strong> display of merch<strong>and</strong>ise. Our Department had sales representatives at<br />
nearly all state conventions, <strong>and</strong> we have met the request of the Managers for<br />
help on many other occasions.<br />
Under the leadership of Mrs. G. T. Lobb there has been a widening interest<br />
in children's books. It is now our purpose to give special attention to books for<br />
youth. To this end the first issue of our new catalog, Contact—Books for<br />
Youth, has made its appearance. Miss Thelma Brown, Book Consultant for the<br />
Department, heads up the very important book reviewing program <strong>and</strong> book<br />
selection for all promotional literature.<br />
Probably our greatest sales h<strong>and</strong>icap during 1945 was the lack of communion<br />
ware, visual aids, <strong>and</strong> song books. Our churches are in great need of<br />
these items, <strong>and</strong> we are looking for some relief during 1946.<br />
In order to give emphasis to church supplies, Mrs. A. T. Ford, office secretary,<br />
is charged with the responsibility of selecting such items for various catalogs.<br />
In, this she will have the co-operation of the special committee of Managers<br />
on supplies.<br />
In co-operation with the other business departments a dealership contract<br />
has been secured with Bell & Howell to distribute their famous FILMOSOUND,<br />
declared to be the very best equipment among projectors. There will be much<br />
publicity on this item among Southern Baptists. Mrs. George Giles, majoring<br />
on visual aids, will give particular attention to Bell & Howell's FILMOSOUND.<br />
A very fine increase was realized in Store sales over 1944. The sales goal<br />
for 1946, unanimously adopted by the Store Managers, has been set as 20%<br />
over 1945 sales.<br />
Division of Editorial Service<br />
CLIFTON J. ALLEN. Editorial Secretary<br />
We are st<strong>and</strong>ing on the brink of a new era. Around us may be seen the<br />
shattered ruins of a world order which collapsed because it lacked the foundation<br />
which is Jesus Christ. The need is everywhere urgent for spiritual reconstruction.<br />
To this task God has called us <strong>and</strong> for this mission he has provided the<br />
Word of power. It is our responsibility to translate into print the truth of the<br />
gospel. It is the one answer to man's desperate need for personal redemption,<br />
moral direction, <strong>and</strong> social compassion. In the light of this stewardship we have<br />
tried to state the function <strong>and</strong> purpose of the Division of Editorial Service as we<br />
face a new century in Southern Baptist life:<br />
To produce the periodicals <strong>and</strong> books that Southern Baptists need to fulfil<br />
their divine mission, as individuals, as Christian families, as churches, as a<br />
denomination; to put into these materials the best in spiritual insight, scholarly<br />
research, professional skill, educational technique, <strong>and</strong> artistic appeal; to<br />
capture the maximum capacities of printing for propagating the power of the
376<br />
SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
gospel; to match the progress <strong>and</strong> problems of a new world with the ever<br />
current <strong>and</strong> powerfully creative truth of Christianity; to impart world con-,<br />
cepts of redemptive service; to interpret Christian discipleship in relation to<br />
every area of personal <strong>and</strong> social experience; to inspire supreme allegiance<br />
to Jesus Christ as Saviour <strong>and</strong> Lord; <strong>and</strong> to create unwavering faith <strong>and</strong> hope<br />
in the ultimate triumph of the kingdom of God.<br />
DEPARTMENTS<br />
The Division of Editorial Service is made up of the following departments:<br />
Book Editorial: John L. Hill, editor<br />
Sunday School Curriculum: Clifton J. Allen, editor<br />
Baptist Training Union Curriculum: J. E. Lambdin, editor<br />
Home Curriculum: Joe W. Burton, editor<br />
Art: Herman F. Burns, art director<br />
There are other very significant editorial functions carried by workers in the<br />
Division of Education <strong>and</strong> Promotion, namely: J. N. Barnette, editor of The<br />
Sunday School Builder; Homer L. Grice, editor of Vacation Bible School literature;<br />
Frank H. Leavell, editor of The Baptist Student; Porter Routh, editor of<br />
The Quarterly Review; B. B. McKinney, music editor.<br />
PROGRESS<br />
The work in the Division of Editorial Service has been marked by encouraging<br />
progress. We feel that the recognition of the departments as listed above has<br />
contributed to a better integration <strong>and</strong> functioning of editorial activities. The<br />
creation of the Department of Home Curriculum, as authorized by the trustees<br />
of the Board last October, <strong>and</strong> the coming of Rev. Joe W. Burton to have charge<br />
of this work have been one of the most significant advances in the Board's ministry.<br />
Of similar importance was the launching nearly a year ago of a ministry<br />
looking toward the publication of children's books. Definite improvement in the<br />
design <strong>and</strong> journalistic quality of our periodicals has been achieved. We believe<br />
that through the devotion <strong>and</strong> skill of the various members of the editorial<br />
staff <strong>and</strong> through the assistance of many writers among our pastors <strong>and</strong> church<br />
leaders, we have been able to present the truth of the Bible with more reader<br />
appeal <strong>and</strong> spiritual significance than ever before.<br />
PUBLICATION IN BRAILLE<br />
We have had under consideration for some time the need for providing materials<br />
for the blind people in our Southern Baptist constituency. For many years<br />
the Board has co-operated with the John Milton Society, both in furnishing materials<br />
for publication in Braille <strong>and</strong> in an appropriation. We shall expect to<br />
continue this co-operation. We believe, however, that there is need for distinctive<br />
material for. our Baptist blind. The Board has recentlv authorized the publication<br />
of a quarterly in Braille to begin with October of this year. It will contain<br />
condensed Bible study helps related to the Uniform Lessons <strong>and</strong> a digest of material<br />
from other publications of the Sunday School Board <strong>and</strong> the publications<br />
of our Southwide mission boards. This periodical will be issued as a gratuitous<br />
service to our blind people. We wish to call upon the pastors to send us the<br />
names <strong>and</strong> addresses of the blind people in their churches who can read Braille<br />
<strong>and</strong> who would like to receive this publication of the Board. It is our hope that<br />
through this medium we can make a large contribution to the spiritual growth,<br />
happiness, <strong>and</strong> usefulness of the blind people in our constituency.<br />
EDITORIAL CONFERENCE AT RIDGECREST<br />
The Editorial Conference at Ridgecrest has become an annual event of outst<strong>and</strong>ing<br />
importance for the Division of Editorial Service. The date for this<br />
year's conference is August 1-7. The program for this year will feature a workshop<br />
on both fiction <strong>and</strong> nonfiction writing. We anticioate having with us for<br />
conferences <strong>and</strong> addresses Miss Phyllis A. Whitney of Chicago, a widely known<br />
author of juvenile fiction, <strong>and</strong> Professor Walter S. Campbell of the University<br />
of Oklahoma. Dr. John L. Hill will deliver a series of addresses on the Christian<br />
message in great literature. Dr. Ralph A. Herring will be the preacher for the<br />
evening service of the combined Editorial, Home Mission, <strong>and</strong> Brotherhood groups.
SUNDAY SCHOOL BOARD 877<br />
It is our purpose to make the Editorial Conference of interest <strong>and</strong> value to<br />
persons interested in writing generally <strong>and</strong> more particularly a means toward<br />
developing a more adequate <strong>and</strong> resourceful Southern Baptist authorship. It is<br />
our judgment that one of the urgent needs in our denominational life is a larger<br />
number of writers with convictions <strong>and</strong> insight relative to the content of the<br />
Christian message, with comprehensive underst<strong>and</strong>ing of the significance of world<br />
movements, <strong>and</strong> with talent <strong>and</strong> skill for creative <strong>and</strong> convincing expression in<br />
presenting the Christian message through books <strong>and</strong> periodicals. We shall do<br />
our utmost toward making the Editorial Conference serve Southern Baptists in<br />
this vital way. We would like to invite to the conference persons who wish to<br />
explore the facilities of Christian journalism for extending the cause of Christ<br />
<strong>and</strong> improving the character <strong>and</strong> culture of the people in our midst.<br />
DENOMINATIONAL CALENDAR<br />
Through our periodicals we feature in every possible way the work of the<br />
denomination as set forth in the Denominational Calendar. Wherever it is possible<br />
pictorial displays are carried in the lesson quarterlies. There is a regular<br />
emphasis on the denominational program in the Training Union lessons. In our<br />
promotional periodicals articles <strong>and</strong> pictorial layouts feature the various phases<br />
of our work. The effort is thus made to promote all that Southern Baptists are<br />
doing through their boards <strong>and</strong> institutions. In this way some three to four<br />
million people learn something of the many aspects of our program of teaching,<br />
training, healing, evangelizing, <strong>and</strong> world missions.<br />
COMMITTEE ON THE UNIFORM SERIES<br />
The Sunday School Board co-operates with the representatives of the publishing<br />
houses of a large number of denominations in the preparation of the outlines<br />
from which are developed the Uniform Lessons. The persons representing<br />
the Sunday School Board on this committee are: Clifton J. Allen, William J.<br />
Fallis, Annie Ward Byrd, <strong>and</strong> Robbie Trent. The cycle for 1951-1956 was adopted<br />
at the last meeting of the Committee. It reflects very definitely the traditional<br />
policy of selecting portions of the Scriptures suitable for study by all groups of<br />
people. The emphasis is Christ-centered with large opportunity for the study<br />
of New Testament material. It is our conviction that this co-operative enterprise<br />
has meant more to the study <strong>and</strong> teaching of the Bible throughout America<br />
than any other means. We have, of course, developed from the outlines our own<br />
lesson materials which interpret the doctrinal position <strong>and</strong> seek to meet the<br />
spiritual needs of Southern Baptists.<br />
MISSIONARY EDUCATION COUNCIL<br />
Representatives of the Home Mission Board, the Foreign Mission Board, the<br />
Sunday School Board, the Woman's Missionary Union, <strong>and</strong> the Baptist Brotherhood,<br />
together with invited persons from other agencies, met in Richmond January<br />
9-10, 1946, to consider means for co-operative planning in missionary education.<br />
This meeting was the outgrowth of a suggestion made some months before<br />
by Dr. M. T. Rankin in consultation with Dr. J. B. Lawrence <strong>and</strong> Dr. T. L.<br />
Holcomb. As a result of the meeting there was formed a Missionary Education<br />
Council. It is expected that there will be a conference early in each year when<br />
the workers of the various boards <strong>and</strong> agencies may consider together desirable<br />
ways of co-ordinating the emphases <strong>and</strong> improving the materials in our various<br />
missionary education courses. We call attention to this because we believe that<br />
it will set forward in a most significant way the training <strong>and</strong> enlistment of our<br />
people in Christian missons.<br />
ON DUTY FOR GOD AND COUNTRY<br />
We have issued this periodical for distribution among the men <strong>and</strong> women in<br />
the Armed Forces <strong>and</strong> supply regularly to them On the Wing with the Word, a<br />
sary its publication is largely passed. It is our purpose to discontinue publication<br />
of On Duty for God <strong>and</strong> Country with the third quarter of this year. Let<br />
us challenge all our churches to maintain the closest contact with those still in<br />
the Armed Forces <strong>and</strong> supply regularly to them On the Wing with the Word, a<br />
quarterly periodical containing the Uniform Lessons <strong>and</strong> suitable for the use of<br />
all persons in military service.

Lessons <strong>and</strong> thirty-one treat the Graded Lessons. The Uniform Lessons are<br />
graded departmentally <strong>and</strong> continue from the Primary up through the Adult departments.<br />
The Graded Lessons, for use in closely graded Sunday schools, are<br />
for the departments Nursery through Intermediate. We seek through the Department<br />
of Sunday School Curriculum to provide Bible study <strong>and</strong> teaching helps<br />
that will lead to fuller Bible knowledge, saving faith, <strong>and</strong> the highest ideals of<br />
Christian character <strong>and</strong> service.<br />

GRADED LESSONS FOR INTERMEDIATES<br />
The work of preparing a new course of Graded Lessons for Intermediates is<br />
going steadily forward. Mr. Fallis <strong>and</strong> Miss Byrd have the editorial responsibility,<br />
assisted by Miss Hair. The lesson writers are Chester L. Quarles, Mrs. John<br />
Jones, Mrs. Powhatan W. James, Annie Ward Byrd, Claude U. Broach, <strong>and</strong><br />
Winston C. Crawley. The course has been organized around the basic areas of<br />
the religious interest <strong>and</strong> spiritual need of Intermediates. The emphasis throughout<br />
will be the central teachings of the Bible, the necessity for personal faith in<br />
Christ, the high st<strong>and</strong>ards of Christian discipleship, <strong>and</strong> the adequacy of Christ<br />
to meet the needs <strong>and</strong> hungers of youth for abundant living. A new <strong>and</strong> attractive<br />
format is being planned for the pupils' books. These lessons will be ready<br />
for distribution beginning October, 1947. It is hoped that they will be used in<br />
all churches having sufficient Intermediates for grading into classes by separate<br />
ages.<br />
r<br />
TREATING BEVERAGE ALCOHOL<br />
Every feasible effort is made to give instruction through our Sunday school<br />
lessons about the evils of beverage alcohol. This emphasis is not restricted to<br />
one lesson each quarter, but it is our purpose to deal with this matter as often<br />
as the Bible material for the lesson lends itself to instruction <strong>and</strong> warning along<br />
this line. VVe wish to call upon our teachers in the churches to do all that is possible<br />
to fortify our people against the aggressive strategy of beverage alcohol<br />
forces <strong>and</strong> to stir Christians to conviction <strong>and</strong> action in a crusade to prohibit<br />
the widespread sale of this iniquitous product. Attention is called to the fact
SUNDAY SCHOOL BOARD 379<br />
that through the Training Union curriculum, through tracts <strong>and</strong> posters, <strong>and</strong><br />
through visual aids the Sunday school lesson emphasis is supplemented <strong>and</strong><br />
reinforced.<br />
BETTER BIBLE TEACHING<br />
It has been the privilege of our editorial workers to co-operate with the Sunday<br />
School Department in the promotion of better Bible teaching. In addition<br />
to participating in the Southwide clinics in Birmingham <strong>and</strong> Atlanta, staff workers<br />
have assisted in state <strong>and</strong> associational training efforts to the extent their other<br />
duties would permit. Unquestionably the supreme means for improving Bible<br />
teaching is through the teachers' periodicals, so that increasing attention is being<br />
given to improving the regular lesson materials.<br />
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL CURRICULUM<br />
The Vacation Bible School textbooks, prepared under the editorial direction<br />
of Dr. Homer L. Grice, constitute a most significant supplement to the regular<br />
Sunday school lessons. Wherever these materials are used, the boys <strong>and</strong> girls<br />
receive additional instruction in Bible truth that complements the instruction<br />
through the Sunday school. We anticipate the preparation in a few years of<br />
further materials that may be used throughout the year to provide weekday<br />
opportunities for Bible study on a graded basis. This would, of course, be integrated<br />
with the Vacation Bible School curriculum <strong>and</strong> the Sunday school courses.<br />
HIGH PURPOSE<br />
It is our conviction that the spiritual reconstruction of the world can be<br />
effected only by a mighty advance in the study <strong>and</strong> teaching of the Word of<br />
God. The Bible is indeed the Book for the world—today <strong>and</strong> tomorrow. It is<br />
therefore our high purpose to prepare the helps, the literature, that will make<br />
possible a strategic advance in the ministry of the Word. We shall do our utmost<br />
to translate its timeless truths into the language of the children, the growing<br />
youth, <strong>and</strong> the adults of this generation. If we faithfully sow the seed, they<br />
will not return void. God will cause them to accomplish his will in the redemption<br />
<strong>and</strong> sanctification of men.<br />

SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
DEFINING THE TRAINING UNION CURRICULUM<br />
The Training Union curriculum is the complete course of training in church<br />
membership offered by this agency. It includes the VenodieBlli^^^et^.<br />
book courses of study, the St<strong>and</strong>ards of Excellence, <strong>and</strong> all the printed helps<br />
which present the techniques <strong>and</strong> procedures necessary to operate the program.<br />
Our responsibility for the curriculum includes also the work done in <strong>and</strong> for<br />
the churches by our Training Union specialists.<br />
THE TRAINING UNION CURRICULUM MATERIALS<br />
The following curriculum materials for the Training Union are produced <strong>and</strong><br />
made available to the churches by the Training Union Department:<br />
1. Lesson Courses for all age groups, as published in the Training Union<br />
periodicals.<br />
2. The Graded Baptist Training Union Study Course for all age groups. This<br />
includes also the study course awards. There are fifty-eight books in this<br />
course.<br />
3. The Daily Bible Readers' Course is an important item in the Training<br />
Union curriculum. The references, key verses, comments, prayer thoughts,<br />
<strong>and</strong> the missionary prayer calendar are published in the Training Union<br />
quarterlies.<br />
4. Guidance materials for all phases of Training Union work, published in<br />
The Baptist Training Union Magazine, St<strong>and</strong>ards of Excellence, <strong>and</strong> free<br />
literature for all departments.<br />
5. Worship programs for all age groups, published in The Baptist Training<br />
Union Magazine.<br />
How TRAINING UNION LESSONS ARE PLANNED<br />
The editorial work on the Training Union lesson courses is done by the staff<br />
of editors listed in the masthead of this report.<br />
The program materials published in the various Training Union periodicals<br />
are courses of study which form the foundation for training in church membership.<br />
The Training Union editorial staff builds the lesson courses for the Training<br />
Union. The first step in building these courses is to select a central theme,<br />
monthly themes, <strong>and</strong> basic topics for a year. The selection of these themes <strong>and</strong><br />
topics is based upon a careful study of current conditions in the world, the needs<br />
of the churches, <strong>and</strong> the needs of the persons who will study the lessons. The<br />
Training Union professional workers who do field work are able to offer valuable<br />
assistance in this work as a result of their study <strong>and</strong> observation of the use of the<br />
literature in the churches. The editors also do field work <strong>and</strong> conduct surveys<br />
to determine needs.<br />
After the plans are worked out in detail, the basic themes <strong>and</strong> topics are submitted<br />
to the central Curriculum Committee of the Baptist Sunday School Board,<br />
of which Dr. T. L. Holcomb is chairman. The authorization for the lesson courses<br />
comes from this committee.<br />
The lessons are graded by departments in the Training Union. With the<br />
central theme as a basis, topics are selected for the lessons of each department.<br />
The directors of the various departments on the Training Union staff serve with<br />
Mie editors on lesson committees to select the topics for the different departments.<br />
How TRAINING UNION LESSONS ARE PRODUCED<br />
After the basic plan for the lesson courses is authorized by the Curriculum<br />
Committee of the Sunday School Board, <strong>and</strong> the adaptations are made by the<br />
committees for the departments, the editors of the Training Union Department<br />
enlist the writers, supervise their work, <strong>and</strong> edit completely all materials before<br />
they are turned in for publication.<br />
THE FIELD WORE AND RESEARCH FUNCTION<br />
IN CURRICULUM BUILDING<br />
The members of the Training Union staff who do field work render valuable<br />
assistance in building the lesson courses, the textbooks, <strong>and</strong> all other materials.<br />
In their work in the churches they are able to use many of these materials themselves<br />
<strong>and</strong> to observe the use of all of them. These workers are included on the
SUNDAY SCHOOL BOARD 381<br />
topics committees for developing the lesson courses for the various departments<br />
of the Training Union. The age group specialists also conduct departments in<br />
The Baptist Training Union Magazine, in which are published helps for presenting<br />
the programs, study course work, <strong>and</strong> the Daily Bible Readers' Courses. All<br />
the editors in the Training Union Department also do some field work, <strong>and</strong> thus<br />
are able to make a first-h<strong>and</strong> study in the churches of how all materials are<br />
being used. Continuous research to help to determine needs <strong>and</strong> how to meet<br />
them is also carried on through questionnaires <strong>and</strong> discussion groups.<br />
MAJOR EMPHASES IN THE TRAINING UNION<br />
CURRICULUM FOR 1946<br />
The central theme of the Training Union curriculum for 1946 is "Christ<br />
Above All." The monthly themes around which the lesson courses are constructed<br />
are as follows: January, Christ Is Above All in His Being; February,<br />
Christ Is Above All as Creator; March, Christ Is Above All as Saviour; April,<br />
Christ Above All on the Lord's Day; May, Christ Above All in Our Homes; June,<br />
Christ Above All in Education; July, Christ Above All in Our Citizenship;<br />
August, Christ Above All in Race Relations; September, Christ Above All in<br />
Our Church Life; October, Christ Above All in Economic Life; November, Christ<br />
Above All in Our Possessions; December, Christ Above All in Our Hearts.<br />
The ultimate purpose of the Training Union curriculum is realized only as<br />
it functions in the churches to help the church members grow in the image of<br />
Christ, become more useful workers in their churches <strong>and</strong> better witnesses for<br />
Christ in the world.<br />
CIRCULATION OF TRAINING UNION PERIODICALS INCREASING<br />
The circulation of the Training Union periodicals is increasing rapidly. In<br />
the fourth quarter of 1944 it was 911,083 copies as compared with 1,031,104 in<br />
the fourth quarter of 1945. The table showing the circulation of all periodicals<br />
will be found in the Division of Education <strong>and</strong> Promotion.<br />
DEPARTMENT OF HOME CURRICULUM<br />
JOE W. BURTON. Editor<br />
The Department of Home Curriculum was established by the Sunday School<br />
Board on October 24, 1945. Unanimous approval was given to Dr. Clifton J.<br />
Allen's recommendation for the creation of this department in the Division of<br />
Editorial Service. At the same time, also on Dr. Allen's recommendation, I was<br />
elected head of the Department <strong>and</strong> editor of the materials to be issued in this<br />
field.<br />
My acceptance, effective as of January 1, 1946, came after weeks of prayerful<br />
consideration. It was prompted by no assent of heart to any minification of<br />
the place <strong>and</strong> need for the mission agency to which I had given ten years' service;<br />
the urgency of that Board's mission is ingrained in the warp <strong>and</strong> woof<br />
of my spirit; the necessity of its ministry is of the very essence of my being.<br />
Home Missions, I must know, is in large measure the very soul of Southern<br />
Baptists. Woe has come upon us when its spirit finds a dull response in our<br />
hearts.<br />
It was rather with some feeling that a new <strong>and</strong> most urgently needed outlet<br />
to missionary compassion was being entered that I turned from my responsibilities<br />
as secretary of education with the Home Mission Board to undertake a<br />
direct ministry to the homes of our l<strong>and</strong>. There is at least an implied relation<br />
between Home Missions <strong>and</strong> a mission to the homes.<br />
My response to the Sunday School Board's invitation grew out of the prevailing<br />
factors which provoked the creation of the Department of Home Curriculum.<br />
These factors may be summarized as follows:<br />
1. The home is the primary social institution.<br />
2. The home has a basic, primary, <strong>and</strong> continuing spiritual function.<br />
3. Trends in modern society threaten the solidarity <strong>and</strong> spiritual usefulness<br />
of homes today.<br />
4. Alert Christian leaders are aware of these conditions <strong>and</strong> look to the<br />
denomination for positive help.
382 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
5. Earnest Christian parents are seeking help such as this department has<br />
been designed to give.<br />
6. Many casually concerned or unconcerned parents will welcome this ministry<br />
as it becomes available.<br />
The function of this department is to create materials for family guidance<br />
in Christian home living. This has been interpreted by the Board to be its<br />
distinctive <strong>and</strong> exclusive task. At the Board's meeting of December 6, 1945,<br />
the report of the Division of Editorial Service, presented by Dr. Chiton J.<br />
Allen, included the following section:<br />
DEPARTMENT OF HOME CURRICULUM<br />
We feel that the Board has taken one of the most significant steps in<br />
its history in the establishment of the Department of Home Curriculum.<br />
The election of Rev. Joe W. Burton as editor of the materials in this field<br />
has received enthusiastic approval throughout the South.<br />
The functions of this department will be the planning <strong>and</strong> preparation<br />
of materials for use in the home in the interest of Christian family life.<br />
For example: materials to furnish guidance to parents in Christian home<br />
building; materials to be used by the family group to enrich the home<br />
atmosphere, strengthen the bond of family unity, <strong>and</strong> develop the personalities<br />
of the family group.<br />
We believe that the publication of a monthly periodical specifically in<br />
the area of Christian family life is imperative. The periodical would be<br />
made available to churches, just as our other literature, <strong>and</strong> would be<br />
designed for distribution in every church home, <strong>and</strong> particularly where there<br />
are growing children. It would be designed to magnify the sanctity of<br />
marriage <strong>and</strong> parenthood, to give guidance <strong>and</strong> inspiration to fathers <strong>and</strong><br />
mothers in the practical matters of dealing with the many factors that<br />
contribute to the building of a Christian home, <strong>and</strong> to help parents capture<br />
to the fullest the opportunity they have in the rearing of their children.<br />
In the light of this need, we wish to recommend that such a periodical<br />
be authorized, publication to begin as soon as it is deemed feasible to the<br />
editorial secretary in consultation with the executive secretary, the secretary<br />
of the Division of Education <strong>and</strong> Promotion, <strong>and</strong> the business manager.<br />
It is of course expected that Mr. Burton will need time to explore the<br />
curriculum needs in this field <strong>and</strong> to make specific preparation for the work<br />
to be done. He will desire to work in close co-operation with the Sunday<br />
School Department <strong>and</strong> the Training Union Department to the end that the<br />
most effective means may be devised for reaching the people with the<br />
materials to be published. We have the conviction that a crusade to save<br />
our homes is near the foundation of all that we seek to do for Christ.<br />
Our first major effort in this Department, as noted in the above report, is<br />
the launching of a new home magazine. We addressed our energies immediately<br />
to this first task, upon entering into the present relation with the Board.<br />
Definite plans have now been made for the publication of HOME, A Magazine<br />
for the Christian Family, beginning with the issue for January, 1947. T<br />
new magazine will absorb Cradle Roll Home <strong>and</strong> The Better Home. It will be<br />
issued monthly. A wealth of material will be carried each month for the enrichment<br />
of Christian home life. These plans, made in consultation with the various<br />
divisional <strong>and</strong> department workers, have been heartily approved by the Board.<br />
In publishing HOME the Board offers the churches an opportunity to minister<br />
in a vital way to the homes of their membership. For we do not know of<br />
any other way, nor would we want any other, to circulate this magazine except<br />
through the churches. We seek then, <strong>and</strong> must have, the full support of pastors<br />
<strong>and</strong> other responsible church leaders in this undertaking.<br />
You, brother pastors <strong>and</strong> fellow kingdom workers, must secure our circulation,<br />
if our editorial service in this home magazine is to reach its intended<br />
objective. You are our agents to secure readers. Your recognition of the<br />
value of this ministry will lead you to do your utmost to see that the magazine<br />
reaches the homes of your church. Only by reaching them can it give the<br />
spiritual uplift to homes such as contemplated in the columns which we will<br />
supply. As we work together, then—you building our circulation <strong>and</strong> we
SUNDAY SCHOOL BOARD 383<br />
creating the magazine to give Christian tone to family living—our ministry will<br />
be completed.<br />
There are other services which this Department can render. We list them<br />
here as goals toward which we strive, as objectives for our prayers. The new<br />
magazine is named again, so as to give a comprehensive listing of the work our<br />
hearts would move us to do.<br />
1. HOME, a magazine for family guidance such as we plan to publish,<br />
beginning in January, 1947<br />
2. Textbooks in the home field for Sunday School <strong>and</strong> Training Union study<br />
courses<br />
3. General reading books on family living<br />
4. Radio broadcasts of family worship programs<br />
5. Motion pictures prepared for home use, which would have entertainment,<br />
cultural, <strong>and</strong> guidance values<br />
6. Publication of pamphlets <strong>and</strong> tracts<br />
7. Enlisting Baptist colleges to add to their curricula courses on planning<br />
for marriage <strong>and</strong> the home<br />
8. Feature articles in the denominational papers dealing with pointed problems<br />
in family living<br />
9. Enlistment of all church organizations in an integrated promotion of<br />
Christian family living through the circulation of materials now available,<br />
<strong>and</strong> the larger list of materials which we hope to make available<br />
Brethren, this is a needy work. Much can <strong>and</strong> should be done. With your<br />
help <strong>and</strong> God's grace, we will do our best.<br />
BOOK EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT<br />
JOHN L. HILL, Editor<br />
The work of this department continues to be seriously h<strong>and</strong>icapped by shortage<br />
of paper. True, priorities <strong>and</strong> restrictions have been lifted; but this only<br />
means that we are free to get paper if we can. Of course, dealers are swamped<br />
with back orders <strong>and</strong> we can only take our turn. We are grateful that we continue<br />
to be able to supply reprints of books required in our regular work <strong>and</strong> of<br />
those for which there is strong popular dem<strong>and</strong>. We are making progress in<br />
the new field which we have entered during the year, <strong>and</strong> under the leadership<br />
of Mrs. Clifton J. Allen, editor of children's books, we shall soon have some<br />
attractive volumes for our little people.<br />
Our authors are uniformly patient <strong>and</strong> sympathetic, for which we are grateful.<br />

ART DEPARTMENT<br />
HERMAN F. BURNS, Art Director<br />
Our artists <strong>and</strong> designers have been heavily engaged during the past year in<br />
meeting increased dem<strong>and</strong>s upon our art service, as well as in continuing the<br />
usual services to all Divisions <strong>and</strong> Departments of the Sunday School Board in<br />
the fields of periodical publication, book publication, miscellaneous promotional<br />
materials, <strong>and</strong> merch<strong>and</strong>ise items.<br />
Although shortages of paper, book cloth, <strong>and</strong> other publishing necessities still<br />
exist, lifting of government restrictions has allowed exp<strong>and</strong>ing activity in our<br />
publishing fields, especially as regards the printing of books <strong>and</strong> distribution of<br />
promotional materials. Along with these growing dem<strong>and</strong>s for art have come<br />
increased use of drawings inside both Sunday school <strong>and</strong> Training Union literature.<br />
There is now a significant trend toward the functional use of visual materials<br />
as teaching aids in the lesson treatments on the part of both Sunday school <strong>and</strong><br />
Training Union editors. Properly integrated illustrations will greatly increase<br />
the interest of teacher <strong>and</strong> pupil in the written message <strong>and</strong> are vital helps toward<br />
learning. The most important development of this kind is the recent decision<br />
to use a second color in the lesson treatments of the Primary <strong>and</strong> Junior Sundav<br />
school lesson quarterlies beginning with the second quarter of 1946. We trust<br />
this may soon be possible in other lesson quarterlies.<br />
Preparation of the new series of Graded Lessons for Intermediates is now<br />
well under way <strong>and</strong> the actual production of pictures <strong>and</strong> designs which will<br />
constitute a rich fund of visual aids to learning in these lesson quarterlies, can<br />
now proceed.<br />
During the year much time has been spent working with editors, authors, <strong>and</strong><br />
artists on several books now in process, the publication of which will establish<br />
the Sunday School Board as a publisher of children's books.<br />
The end of the war has complicated rather than solved our difficult problem<br />
of securing trained artists. Our highly valuable designer, Lt. W. D. Kendall, was<br />
seriously wounded September 30, 1945, while on Naval duty near Japan. One or<br />
more operations <strong>and</strong> months of convalesence in the Naval hospital at Bethesda,<br />
Maryl<strong>and</strong>, will be required before he can return to us.<br />
Throughout the strain of the war <strong>and</strong> postwar periods, we have greatly appreciated<br />
the devoted work of our artists—Misses Mildred Schreiner, Novie Maie<br />
Moffat, Evanna Marti, Luellen Hovey, Mr. Joe Ward, <strong>and</strong> Mr. Charles Miller—<br />
<strong>and</strong> our office secretary, Miss Dorise Turner.<br />
As the printed message goes out, it must appeal to those who see it enough<br />
to cause them to read. Color, well-planned illustrations, <strong>and</strong> attractive arrangement<br />
are important m achieving the one great purpose toward which all our<br />
efforts must be directed. *<br />

NEW DEPARTMENT HEAD<br />
Special attention is called to the fact that Dr. Eugene P. Alldredge retired<br />
as head of the Department of Survey, Statistics, <strong>and</strong> Information on<br />
September 15, 1945, <strong>and</strong> Porter Routh was elected by the Board to fill this<br />
important position. Mr. Routh assumed his duties on September 1, 1945, <strong>and</strong><br />
has taken hold of the work in a remarkably satisfactory manner. New undertakings<br />
are before us in this field under his leadership.<br />
VISUAL EDUCATION SERVICE<br />
Special attention is also called to the fact that the former secretary of this<br />
Service, Norman O'Neal, resigned on September 1, 1945, to accept a position<br />
as educational director in a local church. Earl Waldrup was elected to succeed<br />
him in this position <strong>and</strong> he assumed his duties March 1, 1946. He comes<br />
to us with unusual preparation for this work <strong>and</strong> we have great confidence in<br />
his leadership in this most important field of service.<br />
CO-OPERATION<br />
The genus of the Sunday School Board as an institution is co-operation.<br />
The educational program which is conceived <strong>and</strong> . planned <strong>and</strong> promoted by<br />
the Sunday School Board is intended for all the churches of the Southern<br />
Baptist Convention. The state mission boards in the various states maintain<br />
a. promotional department in each phase of the educational program. It is<br />
essential, therefore, that the Sunday School Board co-operate very closely<br />
with the leaders in the states <strong>and</strong> the churches.<br />
PLANNING MEETING<br />
It has been the custom of the Sunday School Board for many years to invite<br />
as its guests the Sunday school, Training Union, Student, <strong>and</strong> Church Music<br />
secretaries connected with all the state boards to spend the first week in January<br />
in Nashville in the interest of the promotional program for the year. These<br />
meetings are important <strong>and</strong> the secretaries responsible for these phases of<br />
work make a special effort to be present. The time together is spent in fellowship,<br />
prayer, consultation, <strong>and</strong> planning. Inspirational messages are delivered<br />
at the evening hour. The workers return to their tasks with added<br />
enthusiasm, desiring to do a better year's work.<br />
REPORTS<br />
The reports of the various departments in this Division will speak for themselves.<br />
In the following pages reports are presented by the secretaries. <strong>and</strong><br />
their associates. These reports are comprehensive but necessarily must neglect<br />
to record an enormous amount of details connected with the work for the year.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CLINICS<br />
The Baptist Sunday School Board, through its Sunday School Department,<br />
will provide two Southwide Sunday school clinics <strong>and</strong> fourteen statewide clinics<br />
during 1946.<br />
There was a Southwide Better Bible Teaching clinic held in Atlanta, Georgia,<br />
April 29-May 3. The purpose of this clinic was to train 200 potential volunteer<br />
teachers who would be available in the states from which they came for several<br />
weeks of service each year. These workers were selected by the state Sunday<br />
school secretaries in co-operation with The Sunday School Department.<br />
The churches of Atlanta generously agreed to entertain this clinic, <strong>and</strong><br />
the evening department conferences <strong>and</strong> general sessions were planned especially<br />
for the Atlanta Sunday school officers <strong>and</strong> teachers. Some of the conference<br />
leaders <strong>and</strong> speakers for this clinic were: Dr. Luther A. Weigle, of<br />
Yale University; Dr. G. S. Dobbins; Dr. J. M. Price; Dr. Clifton J. Allen; Dr.<br />
J. L. Corzine; Dr. John L. Hill; Dr. Robert G. Lee; Dr. Duke K. McCall; Mr.<br />

FIELD WORK<br />
The field program of The Sunday School Department is made in co-operati<br />
with the state Sunday school secretaries. Through voluntary co-operation The<br />
Sunday School Department of the Sunday School Board <strong>and</strong> the state Sunday<br />
school departments work together in all field engagements. The major field<br />
engagements are along the following lines: Association-wide <strong>and</strong> individual<br />
church enlargement campaigns; association-wide inside enlargement campaigns;<br />
association-wide <strong>and</strong> individual church Better Bible Teaching schools; association-wide<br />
training schools; special Vacation Bible school conferences; participation<br />
in state Sunday school conventions, conferences, <strong>and</strong> assemblies; special<br />
state tours in co-operation with the state Sunday school secretaries for the<br />
promotion of particular phases of Sunday school work.<br />
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL BUILDER<br />
The Sunday School Builder is a <strong>forty</strong>-eight page promotional magazine. I<br />
purpose is to present all phases of Sunday school work in a practical way.<br />
Part of the space is devoted to the work of general Sunday school officers,<br />
<strong>and</strong> part of it is used to provide help for the several age groups in a Sunday<br />
school.<br />
One section of the magazine is used to carry the Scripture text, a brief<br />
comment, <strong>and</strong> practical applications. In connection with each lesson there is a<br />
suggested program for use in Sunday schools that function by classes.<br />
Mr. J. C. Hockett, Jr., <strong>and</strong> Miss Emma Nol<strong>and</strong> are Associate Editors of The<br />
Sunday School Builder.<br />
The circulation of the Builder at the present time is approximately 87,000<br />
copies per month, which is an increase of about 12,000 copies per month over<br />
the past year.<br />
PROMOTIONAL LITERATURE<br />
The preparation of promotional literature on every phase of Sunday school<br />
work <strong>and</strong> a wide distribution of these materials have been a major means of<br />
providing helps for Southern Baptist Sunday school officers <strong>and</strong> teachers. The<br />
Sunday School Department issues <strong>and</strong> distributes approximately 260 separate<br />
pieces of promotional literature.<br />
Mr. William P. Phillips, Superintendent of Adult Sunday School Work, has<br />
recently prepared three leaflets which seem to be meeting a very definite need<br />
in the Sunday school work of the churchs. These leaflets are:<br />
"Every Boy Needs a Man"<br />
"Promoting Adults in the Sunday School"<br />
"Grading Adults in the Sunday School"<br />
CALENDAR OF SUNDAY SCHOOL ACTIVITIES<br />
Each year a Calendar of Sunday School Activities is prepared for the<br />
guidance of associational Sunday school officers, pastors, educational directors.<br />
<strong>and</strong> Sunday school superintendents.<br />
The Calendar carries information arranged by months, on the following:<br />
Sunday school lesson titles; weekly themes; church activities; associational<br />
work; denominational emphases.<br />
The general materials <strong>and</strong> department programs in The Sunday School<br />
Builder <strong>and</strong> the magazine sections of the teachers' periodicals stem from the<br />
themes carried in the Calendar.<br />
OFFICE PROMOTION<br />
The editorial <strong>and</strong> promotional work done in the office constitutes a maj<br />
ministry of The Sunday School Department. An office personnel of twenty-eight<br />
people is kept busy answering requests from the churches, mailing out litera-

USING THE ASSOCIATION TO REACH EVERY CHURCH<br />
J. P. EDMUNDS, Secretary of Co-operative Reid Promotion<br />
The achievements of Southern Baptists through the years have been the<br />
achievements of individual churches. We are great as a denomination because<br />
we have built great churches. As we launch a second century of organized<br />
Southern Baptist work, we begin with the conviction that if we are to build<br />
a greater denomination we must build more <strong>and</strong> greater churches.<br />
It is likewise true that the achievements of Southern Baptists have been the<br />
achievements of a small percentage of our churches. It is our immediate task<br />
to reach every church with a program of Bible study, training, <strong>and</strong> enlistment.<br />
We are committed as never before to the use of our associations as a means of<br />
achieving this objective, for our associations provide both a field <strong>and</strong> a force for<br />
missionary endeavor.<br />
The association provides a field.—The average association is associationminded,<br />
lt is interested in all the churches. It has learned to work together<br />
as an association. It underst<strong>and</strong>s the problems of its churches. Church leaders<br />
will attend an associational meeting when they would not go outside of the<br />
association to attend a similar meeting.<br />
The association provides a force.—No one is more interested in the development<br />
of all the churches in the association than the church leaders in the<br />
association. No one better underst<strong>and</strong>s the problems <strong>and</strong> needs of the churches.<br />
The association alone can provide a .sufficient number of workers to reach <strong>and</strong><br />
help every church.<br />
_Our 1946 Southern Baptist Sunday school program was keyed to the general<br />
objective of using the associations to reach every church with a program of<br />
Sunday school work. Three types of meetings were planned as follows:<br />
1. A state planning meeting of associational Sunday school officers <strong>and</strong><br />
other associational leaders in each state for the purpose of launching the 1946<br />
Southern Baptist Sunday school program in each state <strong>and</strong> in each association.<br />
These meetings were highly successful.<br />
2. Simultaneous associational planning meetings, January 22, for the purpose<br />
of revitalizing the associational Sunday school organizations <strong>and</strong> perfecting<br />
plans for the church planning meetings in February under the direction of the<br />
associational organizations. While the reports are still coming in, we have<br />
reports on 600 associational meetings on January 22 with representatives from<br />
7,500 churches in attendance.<br />
3. Church planning meetings in every church under the direction of associational<br />
Sunday school superintendents <strong>and</strong> missionaries. This was perhaps<br />
the most far-reaching Sunday school program Southern Baptists have ever<br />
promoted. Teams of three or more members each were selected, enlisted, <strong>and</strong><br />
trained <strong>and</strong> went afield to visit the churches. The purpose of these meetings<br />
was to help the Sunday school officers <strong>and</strong> teachers in the individual churches<br />
plan their 1946 Sunday school program. Literature was distributed; a balanced<br />
Sunday school program was discussed; plans were made; <strong>and</strong> the workers were<br />
challenged <strong>and</strong> inspired to undertake a bigger program for the Lord.<br />
Reports are being received daily indicating that at least 600 associations<br />
are promoting these planning meetings in the churches. To date <strong>forty</strong>-<strong>six</strong><br />
associations have visited every church <strong>and</strong> at least 300 associations have indicated<br />
they will reach every church before the program is completed.<br />
Dr. W. L. Howse, of the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary <strong>and</strong><br />
superintendent of the Tarrant County Association, Texas, writes as follows<br />
about this program:<br />
"We expect to visit every church in our association. Thus far we have<br />
received reports from fifty-two meetings. I consider this the greatest Sunday<br />
school program that Southern Baptists have ever undertaken. In our association<br />
we have had the most complete response that we have had to anything presented<br />
in many years. If each association will work this plan, it will bring<br />
unbelievable results."<br />
It is hoped that this plan of visiting every church every year under the<br />
direction of our associations will become a permanent means of extending our<br />
total ministry to every church.

TEACHING IMPROVEMENT<br />
TEACHING AND TRAINING<br />
A. V. WASHBURN, Secretary<br />
The Sunday school has been designated by many names during its long <strong>and</strong><br />
increasingly useful history but in all of them the term "school" has been<br />
present. The Sunday school has many vital functions, but in all of them its<br />
function of teaching st<strong>and</strong>s out clearly as its particular contribution. It is a<br />
school. It is a school where teaching, study, learning are expected <strong>and</strong> promoted.<br />
The Bible, God's eternal Word, is the textbook <strong>and</strong> growing personalities<br />
from the cradle to the grave are the pupils. Eternal truth <strong>and</strong> eternal<br />
destinies are the concern of the Sunday school.<br />
The Sunday school ministry has improved during the years. It has grown<br />
in numbers, in equipment, in administration, in periodicals <strong>and</strong> other Bible study<br />
helps, in training facilities, <strong>and</strong> in teaching procedures. In view of the tremendous<br />
issues at stake it must continue to grow in all these areas <strong>and</strong><br />
particularly in the improvement of teaching. The Baptist Sunday School Board<br />
is continuing <strong>and</strong> seeking to accentuate its ministry in this field. Among the<br />
means being used to definitely help teachers become better teachers are:<br />
THE FIELD PROGRAM<br />
The Better Bible Teaching Clinic of Southwide <strong>and</strong> statewide proportions<br />
represents a major portion of the Sunday School Department's field emphasis.<br />
1 his year there are being held a Southwide clinic <strong>and</strong> five statewide clinics,<br />
jointly promoted by the Sunday School Department <strong>and</strong> the respective state<br />
bunday school secretaries for the promotion of better teaching. Numerous<br />
other clinics <strong>and</strong> schools of this nature are being held in the several states. It<br />
is proposed that this emphasis shall be strengthened, all states including it in<br />
i / ^ ' f promotional calendars each year. By calling out a selected<br />
, ber of teachers <strong>and</strong> fieldworkers each year for an intensive training in the<br />

plans <strong>and</strong> working out teaching procedures. Current lessons are used as a<br />
basis. Great stress is placed on demonstration <strong>and</strong> observation.)<br />
8:45-9:35 P.M.—General Inspirational Period<br />
(Messages on the teacher, the Bible, the people, the purpose, the rewards<br />

PREVIEW STUDIES<br />
These Preview Studies for both the Uniform <strong>and</strong> Graded Lessons are surveys<br />
of the Bible materials covered in any given quarter. The Editorial Division of<br />
the Sunday School Board prepares outlines to be followed in deriving the<br />
highest good from such studies. These previews center around: a study of<br />
the Bible content, a selection <strong>and</strong> statement of aims, a grouping of lessons into<br />
units, a consideration of teaching plans, <strong>and</strong> examination of teaching helps.<br />
Increasingly this feature is becoming a great factor in better teaching. With<br />
the pastor or some other capable leader directing, every church can use this<br />
plan with excellent results. It should be made a regular part of the church's<br />
training program. An award for the completion of Preview Studies is given<br />
in the Sunday School Training Course. Copies of the leaflet outlining Preview<br />
Studies quarter by quarter may be had by writing the Sunday School Department<br />
of the Sunday School Board.<br />
PERIODICALS<br />
Definite helps for teachers' preparation are offered in all of the teachers'<br />
periodicals prepared by the Division of Editorial Service of the Sunday School<br />
Board. Both the content <strong>and</strong> presentation of the lesson materials are discussed.<br />
Guidance is offered in teaching plans. In addition to periodicals designed particularly<br />
as teachers' helps, THE SUNDAY SCHOOL BUILDER carries regularly<br />
in the general <strong>and</strong> department sections suggestions for better Bible<br />
teaching.<br />
WEEKLY OFFICERS AND TEACHERS' MEETING<br />
Special stress is placed upon the weekly officers <strong>and</strong> teachers' meeting in<br />
the churches as a most productive means of improving teaching. Any pastor<br />
or superintendent who sincerely desires better Bible teaching in his school can<br />
realize this desire by carefully planning <strong>and</strong> conducting such meetings. Here<br />
is the opportunity not only for strengthening the many administrative aids to<br />
good teaching but actually develop good teachers through group study <strong>and</strong><br />
skilfully guided observation lesson periods. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL BUILDER<br />
carries general <strong>and</strong> department suggestions for using the medium of the weekly<br />
officers <strong>and</strong> teachers' meeting to get better teaching done in every church.<br />
BOOKS ON TEACHING IN THE TRAINING COURSE<br />
General <strong>and</strong> age-group approaches to better Bible teaching are offered<br />
in the Sunday School Training Course. These books afford opportunities for<br />
the individual teacher through personal study to enrich his teaching procedure<br />
<strong>and</strong> provide excellent guidance for group study in training schools. These<br />
books are:<br />

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL TRAINING COURSE<br />
The Sunday School Training Course is a comprehensive course of study<br />
designed to cover the basic needs of workers in Bible study, doctrines, organization,<br />
administration, <strong>and</strong> teaching. At present there are <strong>six</strong>ty-one books in the<br />
course, five new ones having been added recently. These new books are: *Why<br />
They Wrote the New Testament by W. 0. Carver, Baptist Distinctives by W.<br />
White, *Christ the Teacher by J. M. Price, *The Nursery Department of the<br />
Sunday School by Orabelle C. Jones, <strong>and</strong> *The Cradle Roll Department of the<br />
Sunday School by Elizabeth White Von Hagen. Others will be added from time<br />

NEW LEAFLET<br />
A new leaflet, Training Better Workers, has been prepared <strong>and</strong> is ready for<br />
distribution by the Sunday School Department of the Sunday School Board.<br />
This leaflet sets out a suggested comprehensive program of training which is a<br />
co-operative endeavor of the Southwide, statewide, <strong>and</strong> associational forces. It<br />
outlines a church program of training which is calculated to produce better<br />
workers <strong>and</strong> better work.<br />
*Not yet off the press.<br />
DOCTRINAL EMPHASIS<br />
In March the new book by Dr. W. R. White, Baptist Distinctives, was intr<br />
duced to Southern Baptists. Ten thous<strong>and</strong> advance orders had already been<br />
placed before the first copy came from the press. The book is being enthusiastically<br />
received. Surely now is the time for Southern Baptists to engage in a<br />
great teaching crusade, in a great indoctrination program that our people shall<br />
know <strong>and</strong> be ready to propagate the faith we hold. The efforts in April will not<br />
suffice, but throughout the year great use should be made of Baptist Distinctiv<br />
<strong>and</strong> other similar books in our course until every church has been reached.<br />

ENLARGEMENT<br />
The past year has been one of glorious achievements in Sunday school<br />
enrolment gains, for which we are grateful to God.<br />
Last year's Sunday school gains returned to the high tide of 152,401. This<br />
is the highest net gain since the beginning of World War II. The following is<br />

Among the reasons for this growth of Sunday school enrolment, the following<br />
are especially worthy of notice:<br />
There has been a deep desire on the part of all workers to regain the losses<br />
caused by the War.<br />
The associational Sunday school organizations have been used as a major<br />
means in urging <strong>and</strong> encouraging Sunday school workers to reach more people<br />
for Bible study.<br />
The state Sunday school secretaries promoted an aggressive enlargement<br />
program through their own field forces <strong>and</strong> in co-operation with the associational<br />
workers. They emphasized growth as a vital part of Sunday school work.<br />
The Sunday School Department has promoted Sunday school growth in the<br />
following ways:<br />
Timely articles in THE SUNDAY SCHOOL BUILDER<br />
Helpful suggestive plans <strong>and</strong> programs in The SUNDAY SCHOOL BULLE<br />
TIN for Associational Sunday School Workers<br />
Tested <strong>and</strong> tried methods through a barrage of free literature<br />
Co-operation of the Department personnel in conducing enlargement campaigns<br />
Success of the Inside Enlargement Campaign in enrolling church members<br />
The Southwide Clinic held in Nashville, August 19-September 2, 1945<br />
State planning meetings<br />

394 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
WHAT OF THE FUTURE?<br />
There is every reason to believe that 1946 should prove to be the greatest<br />
year for Sunday school growth in the history of Southern Baptists.<br />
The following items of enlargement are being vigorously promoted this year:<br />
1. Start one or more additional classes.—The enrolment in Southern Baptist<br />
Sunday schools averages ten people for each worker. Each new class could add<br />
ten persons to your Sunday school enrolment.<br />
2. Organize one or more additional departments.—Additional departments<br />
will distribute responsibility, reach more people, <strong>and</strong> increase the efficiency of<br />
any school.<br />
3. Promote regular visitation.—Regular visitation will provide needed information,<br />
develop helpful relationships, increase attendance, improve teaching,<br />
<strong>and</strong> add to the evangelistic opportunities.<br />
4. Establish a new Sunday school—A new Sunday school will provide the<br />
spiritual blessings to people not now being reached.<br />
June has been designated as NEW SUNDAY SCHOOL MONTH.<br />
Realizing that there are thous<strong>and</strong>s of places in the Southern Baptist Convention<br />
where Sunday schools should be established, the emphasis on branch<br />
Sunday schools is vital.<br />
These four items on enlargement have received a major emphasis in ail<br />
twenty of the state planning meetings; in the associational meeting, January 22;<br />
in all churches where associational teams visited.<br />
They will receive major emphasis in the two Sunday School Weeks at Ridgecrest<br />
<strong>and</strong> in the Southwide <strong>and</strong> statewide Sunday school clinics.<br />

SERVICES AVAILABLE<br />

Cradle Roll superintendents. An additional leaflet for Cradle Roll associationaj<br />
superintendents is available. A new book The Cradle Roll Department of the<br />
Sunday School will be off the press soon.<br />
NURSERY DEPARTMENT<br />
MBS. H. R. JONES. Superintendent<br />
The Nursery department defined.—The Nursery department has been evolving<br />
for many years, but today it is recognized as the ninth <strong>and</strong> newest department<br />
of the Sunday school. It ministers to all children under four years of age<br />
who attend Sunday school.<br />
Its objective encourages church-home responsibilities.—Nursery leaders accept<br />
the joint responsibility of home <strong>and</strong> church in insuring the spiritual nurture<br />
of the little child. Consequently, the objective of this department is far greater<br />
than merely furnishing a place for the physical care of babies. It includes:<br />
1. Emphasis on family Sunday school attendance.<br />
2. Emphasis on spiritual growth of the child.<br />
3. Emphasis on the future of the church <strong>and</strong> community.<br />
WHAT WE PROPOSE<br />
1. One or more Nurseries in each church, operated as departments of the<br />
school, to minister to the children under four years of age who attend on Sunday<br />
morning. (The first Nursery, of which there is a record, was in a one-room<br />
Sunday school.)<br />
2. A Nursery leader in each association to promote the work as a department<br />
superintendent.<br />
SERVICES AVAILABLE<br />
A gift to new Nursery departments is offered. This gift has been mailed to<br />
102 new Nursery departments in the past nine months. Seven new leaflets are<br />
arranged in an envelope for Nursery superintendents. An additional leaflet for<br />
the Nursery associational superintendent is available. A new book The Xursery<br />
Department of the Sunday School will be ready by late summer.<br />

PRIMARY DEPARTMENT<br />
ALLENE BRYAN. Superintendent<br />
One of the greatest opportunities <strong>and</strong> corresponding responsibilities of<br />
Southern Baptists is that of ministering to the large group of boys <strong>and</strong> girls<br />
comprising the Primary division of the Sunday school. There are thous<strong>and</strong>s of<br />
boys <strong>and</strong> girls in the South not in any Sunday school who could be enrolled in<br />
Primary classes in Baptist Sunday schools.<br />
Through the efforts of the faithful State Elementary Secretaries, the Primary<br />
Approved Workers, the Associational Primary Superintendents, <strong>and</strong> the<br />
local workers, these boys <strong>and</strong> girls are being sought for regular Sunday school<br />
attendance.<br />
Primary workers among Southern Baptists have two Bible lesson courses<br />
from which to choose, the Uniform <strong>and</strong> the closely Graded Lessons. The<br />
Uniform Lessons are chosen on the basis of an effort to cover the high points<br />
of the entire Bible in a given period of years. Those parts of the lessons thus<br />
chosen with the general needs of all age groups in mind which seem most suitable<br />
to Primary children are then adapted as best they may be to the needs of<br />
children of Primary age.<br />
In the Graded Lessons the choice of Bible material is made on the basis of<br />
the child's spiritual needs at this particular stage of his development. Our<br />
desire is that all unenlisted boys <strong>and</strong> girls shall be brought under the influence<br />
of these Bible lessons that they may learn of Jesus <strong>and</strong> the way he wants us<br />
to live.<br />
Each month The Sunday School Builder carries a section devoted to the<br />
promotion of Primary Sunday school work. Helps are provided for both Primary<br />
superintendents <strong>and</strong> teachers.<br />
Through The Sunday School Bulletin for Associational Sunday school workers,<br />
help is made available for all Primary workers. This Bulletin is sent free to<br />
Associational Primary Superintendents.<br />
Two books are offered especially for Primary workers in the Sunday School<br />
Training Course. They are Guiding the Primary Child in the Sunday School <strong>and</strong><br />
Primary Sunday School Work. Interest in these books is evidenced by the fact<br />
that 3,197 awards were granted for their study during last year.<br />
Increased interest in the St<strong>and</strong>ard of Excellence was indicated by the fact<br />
that 141 departments were recognized as St<strong>and</strong>ard in 1945. This is the largest<br />
number of St<strong>and</strong>ard Primary departments to be reported in any given year.<br />
* The nature of the world of tomorrow will be determined largely by the character<br />
of the children of today. The admonition of the wise man of old was never<br />
needed more than now: "Train up a child in the way he should go: <strong>and</strong> when he<br />
is old, he will not depart from it" (Prov. 22:6).<br />
JUNIOR DEPARTMENT<br />
LILLIAN M. RICE. Superintendent<br />
At this time many circumstances combine to make especially important<br />
our work with boys <strong>and</strong> girls nine, ten, eleven, <strong>and</strong> twelve years of age. These<br />
boys <strong>and</strong> girls are confronted with numerous problems—the age-old problems of<br />
childhood plus those peculiar to our time—broken homes, working mothers,<br />
lowered moral st<strong>and</strong>ards, lack of leisure-time supervision, <strong>and</strong> many others.<br />
In all its planning, the Junior department is aware of the factors affecting<br />
boys <strong>and</strong> girls today, <strong>and</strong> is seeking to provide help which will strengthen character<br />
<strong>and</strong> undergird moral life.<br />
Each month in the Junior section of The Sunday School Builder help is<br />
provided for Junior workers—discussion of problems, helps in planning assembly<br />
programs <strong>and</strong> weekly officers <strong>and</strong> teachers' meetings.<br />
Through The Associational Bulletin, sent free to 519 associational Junior<br />
workers, topics for study in the monthly meetings are offered each month.<br />
Two series of lesson helps are provided in the Junior course—the closely<br />
Graded Lessons prepared for schools having one or more separate classes for<br />
each age group, <strong>and</strong> the Uniform series, prepared for schools where two or<br />
more age groups meet together in one class. The Uniform Lessons are based
398 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
on Scripture passages used by adults, with appropriate adaptations for boys<br />
<strong>and</strong> girls. In 1945 the combined circulation of Junior quarterlies was 2,637 -<br />
087.<br />
During the past year 251 Junior classes <strong>and</strong> 85 Junior departments were<br />
recognized as St<strong>and</strong>ard. A total of 4,256 awards were given for completion of<br />
work in the Junior training course.<br />
A new help for Junior superintendents came from the press this year<br />
the Junior Superintendent's Manual, prepared especially for the guidance of<br />
superintendents in schools using the Graded Lessons, but offering rich source<br />
materials <strong>and</strong> practical information for Junior workers in class Sunday schools,<br />
also.<br />
No period of childhood is more important than the Junior years—the time<br />
when boys <strong>and</strong> girls most gladly <strong>and</strong> unreservedly make decision for Christ;<br />
the time when attitudes <strong>and</strong> habits are clinched, when the capacity for memorization<br />
is perhaps greatest. Their spiritual welfare is our most serious responsibility.<br />
INTERMEDIATE SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK<br />

MARY ALICE BIBY. Associate<br />

relation to all other Sunday school work. It conserves the work done<br />

OUR RESPONSIBILITY<br />
SUNDAY SCHOOL BOARD 399<br />
YOUNG PEOPLE'S DEPARTMENT<br />
PHILIP B. HARRIS, Superintendent<br />
Southern Baptists now have a most unusual opportunity to minister to young<br />
people. Their enlistment is imperative for they are among the most capable<br />
<strong>and</strong> best equipped of any age group. Their presence is essential, for this age<br />
range includes more than 17 per cent of all people in a community. The spirit<br />
of young people is desirous, for they are active, energetic, <strong>and</strong> responsive.<br />
There are 5,200,000 in the South. It is estimated that Southern Baptists are<br />
responsible for approximately ,1,600,000 of this number.<br />
NEW LEAFLETS<br />
Two new leaflets, namely, "Welcome Home" <strong>and</strong> "Winning Young People to<br />
Christ" are ready for distribution. "Welcome Home" suggests a number of<br />
church centered activities for classes <strong>and</strong> departments for all young people.<br />
"Winning Young People to Christ" presents a brief study of evangelism with<br />
young people of the Sunday school. Free copies may be secured from each<br />
state Sunday school department or from the Sunday School Department of<br />
the Baptist Sunday School Board.<br />
YOUNG PEOPLE'S APPRECIATION DAY SUGGESTED<br />
Many churches in the Southern Baptist Convention territory are planning to<br />
observe "Young People's Appreciation Day." The purpose is to recognize <strong>and</strong><br />
use all young people, seventeen through twenty-four. The program may include<br />
special messages, music, <strong>and</strong> informal fellowship. (Secure a copy of "Welcome<br />
Home" for suggestions.)<br />
REPORTS INDICATE PROGRESS<br />
Our files carry the names of 530 associational Young People's Superintendents.<br />
They receive the associational bulletin each month <strong>and</strong> are regularly<br />
supplied with report forms <strong>and</strong> materials necessary for effective service.<br />
During the past twelve months, 127 classes <strong>and</strong> 21 departments have been<br />
given St<strong>and</strong>ard recognition.<br />
A total of 2,404 awards on the books on Young People's work of the training<br />
course have been granted during the past twelve months.<br />
ADEQUATE PROVISION NEEDED FOR YOUNG PEOPLE<br />
Reach those returning from Service.—Enlist this group for Bible study<br />
immediately upon their return. Enrol them in organized classes according to<br />
their respective ages.<br />
Classes for young married women necessary.—Since from one third to one<br />
half of the young people seventeen through twenty-four years of age are married,<br />
it is highly important that Southern Baptists reach this group for Bible<br />
study. Successful marriages are the key to the stability of our nation.<br />
Provision for seventeen-year-olds needed.—Frequently those promoted from<br />
the Intermediate department drop out of Sunday school. Separate classes for<br />
this group should by all means be organized.<br />
Separate departments for Young People recommended.—Forty or more possibilities<br />
will justify the organization of a department. Begin with two classes<br />
—one for young men <strong>and</strong> one for young women. If needed, organize two departments,<br />
one for those seventeen through <strong>nineteen</strong> <strong>and</strong> the other for those<br />
twenty through twenty-four.<br />
THE DAWNING OF A NEW DAY<br />
The urgency of our responsibility calls for courage, faith, <strong>and</strong> action. The<br />
need is evident. The Lord's comm<strong>and</strong>s are clear <strong>and</strong> definite, <strong>and</strong> delay is<br />
dangerous. Let us join h<strong>and</strong>s <strong>and</strong> hearts <strong>and</strong> claim the young people for Christ.<br />
Tomorrow will be too late!
400 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
ADULT DEPARTMENT PROMOTION<br />
WILLIAM P. PHILLIPS. Superintendent<br />
The Adult division of the Sunday school remains the greatest <strong>and</strong> most e<br />
tensive source for enlarging our Sunday schools, providing workers, <strong>and</strong> financing<br />
the kingdom. Perhaps 90 per cent of the resident church members not<br />
enrolled in our Sunday schools are adults. If our churches could provide<br />
the room for their adult constituency, it is believed most Sunday schools could<br />
double their enrolment of adults in a short time. The three things most needed<br />
now by our churches are more space, more classes, <strong>and</strong> more departments.<br />
Our pastors, superintendents, <strong>and</strong> even our Sunday school forces must be<br />
led to see that numbering more than half of the constituency of the Sunday<br />
school, the Adult division must cease to be thought of as just another one of<br />
the departments. It is more than that. The enlistment of men <strong>and</strong> women<br />
for Bible study in the Sunday school holds the key to every worth-while objective<br />
of the church <strong>and</strong> kingdom of God. Some progress has been made the<br />
past year along several lines <strong>and</strong> toward several important objectives.<br />
GRADING AND ANNUAL PROMOTION<br />
From the beginning of the promotion of the department Sunday school<br />
<strong>and</strong> grading of pupils, it has been evident to some of us for years, with the<br />
pattern definitely set in departments below, that grading <strong>and</strong> annual promotion<br />
with Adults in the Sunday school was ultimate <strong>and</strong> inevitable. Traditional attitudes<br />
<strong>and</strong> historic ideas of the past have been forbidding, but vigorous promotion<br />
the past several years has proved that our schools are responsive beyond<br />
even our fondest hopes.<br />
With such a vast constituency, <strong>and</strong> the multiplication of classes <strong>and</strong> departments<br />
for Adults in our schools, local leaders have inaugurated grading<br />
<strong>and</strong> annual promotion with marked success. Our two new leaflets produced<br />
last year have accelerated progress in this direction. The erection of new<br />
buddings will be a great influence in its accomplishment. In our judgment it is<br />
one of the most significant steps in our present generation.<br />
BETTER BIBLE TEACHING<br />
n* }u h £ S b ^ 6 " gratLf ^^ t0 _ see the response to the efforts of this department<br />
J? e *? A n P? 1 ?^ better teaching. Our contention in the field of or-<br />
E S , r administration has been for smaller classes with reduced age<br />
range which would make possible better teaching. The inauguration of state<br />
<strong>and</strong> Southwide clinics is meeting a real need in promoting better teaching As<br />
many as <strong>six</strong> <strong>hundred</strong> attended the Adult Division of our first SouthwSeBibk<br />
Teaching Clinic last September in Birmingham. Alabama sSflaT teacWng<br />
clinics have been held in several states the past year. oimiiai teaciung<br />
THE RESIDENT ADULT CHURCH MEMBER<br />
As already indicated fully 90 per cent of the resident church me<br />
numbering nearly two million not enrolled in Sunday school are adults The<br />
campaigns. Several of our state Sunday school leaders Ire condnctinJ K<br />
campaigns with gratifying results. ^'M.uuctmg tnese<br />
Two NEW LEAFLETS<br />
During the past year we have produced two very important leaflet* The<br />
first is a review of Sunday school progress the past twentyJfivev4rt The<br />
second is designed to offer a new ministry for Adult men'- o HLf n
SUNDAY SCHOOL BOARD 401<br />
A TIME OF FRUITAGE<br />
For more than twenty years we have promoted Adult Sunday school work<br />
in our Southern Baptist churches, dreaming <strong>and</strong> looking for the day that now<br />
approaches. Our Department of Church Architecture is the best evidence of<br />
the fruitage of our efforts in plans they are providing for our church buildings<br />
of the future. Every plan for a new building, thanks to the good secretary<br />
of the Department of Church Architecture, makes generous provision for adults.<br />
Plans now for new buildings include provision for from one to five departments<br />
for adults. As our church leaders are brought to see the potential possibilities<br />
through Bible study with adults, our Sunday schools will provide for<br />
them. When thus enlisted they will make possible every other worth while<br />
endeavor.<br />
FIELD AND OFFICE PROMOTION<br />
With the increasing interest <strong>and</strong> appraisal of Adult work, we cannot begin<br />
to answer the calls for field work. Conventions, assemblies, training schools,<br />
enlargement campaigns, clinics, <strong>and</strong> other phases of field promotion sorely<br />
need the attention of someone who has an accurate <strong>and</strong> official knowledge of<br />
Adult Sunday school work. The issues <strong>and</strong> possibilities are too great for it to<br />
be neglected. Aside from office promotion during the past year, we have given<br />
twenty-one weeks to field work in thirteen states.<br />
The.free promotional literature of the Adult division is in great dem<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
is undergoing revision regularly. The Adult section of The Sunday School<br />
Builder, <strong>and</strong> contributions to The Teacher <strong>and</strong> The Sunday School Bulletin offer<br />
excellent promotional opportunities. We are fortunate in having as our office<br />
associate, Miss Virginia Martin, whose loyalty <strong>and</strong> faithful <strong>and</strong> efficient service<br />
are a source of great satisfaction.<br />
St<strong>and</strong>ards.—During the year 245 awards were granted to St<strong>and</strong>ard classes<br />
<strong>and</strong> ten to St<strong>and</strong>ard departments.<br />
Class <strong>and</strong> department registration.—Information received from registrations<br />
forms a vital point of contact. During this year 1,746 classes were registered<br />
<strong>and</strong> 320 departments.<br />
Training Course awards.—During the year 4,403 awards were granted for<br />
the study of the two Adult department books, The Adult Department of the Smiday<br />
School <strong>and</strong> Teaching Adults in the Sunday School.<br />
Free literature distribution.—In addition to the new pamphlets listed above,<br />
many other leaflets on various phases of Adult Sunday school work were distributed<br />
through this office during the year.<br />
Associational Adult superintendents.—The 548 associational Adult superintendents<br />
play a vital role in the promotion of Adult Sunday school work.<br />
Approved state workers.—The present roll of approved state workers is as<br />
follows: Alabama, J. L. Pollard; Florida, Mrs. Durwood Locke; Georgia, Miss<br />
Susie Eubanks; Illinois, Mrs. W. T. Waring; Kentucky, C. P. Hargis; Maryl<strong>and</strong>,<br />
Mrs. Laurence A. Free; New Mexico, Rev. E. D. Morgan; South Carolina,<br />
Rev. J. J. Jernigan; Tennessee, Mrs. L. G. Frey; Texas, J. T. Sisemore; Virginia,<br />
Rev. R. E. Brown.<br />
EXTENSION DEPARTMENT<br />
MRS. WILL S. McCRAW, Superintendent<br />
The need for Extension department work has been increased during the<br />
past four years. Thous<strong>and</strong>s of new homes have been established. For the<br />
present the war has forced the separation of many families. Thous<strong>and</strong>s of<br />
families have been uprooted from the old home <strong>and</strong> planted temporarily in<br />
new communities. Many of these families have not identified themselves with<br />
the church in the community.<br />
During 1945 approximately 900 new Extension departments were reported<br />
to have been organized. According to the reports in the associational minutes,<br />
approximately 13,000 of the 26,134 Southern Baptist churches have Extension<br />
departments.
402 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />

will provide during 1946, without ccst to the churches, necessary material for<br />
the organization of new Extension departments. This material can be secured<br />
from The Sunday School Department of the Sunday School Board.<br />
The circulation of On Duty for God <strong>and</strong> Country is now 215,000 copies. The<br />
circulation of The Better Home is 130,000 copies.<br />
We have approximately 600 associational Extension department superintendents.<br />
Through these volunteer leaders we endeavor to reach all of the<br />
churches regularly with literature, suggestions, <strong>and</strong> various kinds of helps.<br />
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL WORK<br />
HOMER L GBICE, Secretary<br />
SIBLEY C. BURNETT. Associate<br />
The 10.222 Vacation Bible schools of 1943 was an increase of 2.738 schoo<br />
(36 1 2 per cent) over the 7,484 schools of 1944. the largest increase in any<br />
one year in our history. The total enrolment in the schools was 801,218, of<br />
which 672.189 were pupils <strong>and</strong> 129,029 were faculty members. If these could<br />
have been lined up <strong>six</strong> abreast with the rows three feet apart to march down<br />
a highway, they would have made a procession 76 miles long—64 miles of pupils<br />
<strong>and</strong> \i miles of faculty members.<br />
moTM? ^P res ' contrasted with an enrolment of 213,581 in 1,810 schools in<br />
1936, the first year ol promotion through the use of the district association,<br />
shows ciearly what has been accomplished in ten years of such promotion, <strong>and</strong><br />
also what it has meant to make the Vacation Bible school a division of the Sunday<br />
school.<br />
10 o^° th ^ r n.6n 7*1 for checking Vacation Bible school growth is to compare th<br />
13,2,1 schools ^or the five years of 1935-1939 fan average of 2,112 schools a<br />
year) with the o4.20o schoo.s for the five years of 1940-1944 (an average of<br />
THE VACATION BIBLE SCHOOLS or 1945<br />
=chooh a year), <strong>and</strong> with the 10.222 schools in the one year of 1945^<br />

country; 1,861 (18 y2 per cent) in villages of less than 500 people; 1,008 (10<br />
per cent) in towns of from 500 to 1,000 population; 1,933 (19 per cent) in<br />
towns of from 1,000 to 10,000 population; <strong>and</strong> 1,986 (19% per cent) in cities<br />
of more than 10,000 population.<br />
Types.—There were 841 mission schools, 368 Negro schools aided in some<br />
way by white Baptists, 59 Spanish-speaking Baptist church schools, 41 Indian<br />
Baptist church schools, <strong>and</strong> 8,913 Southern Baptist Convention church schools.<br />
Of the latter, 224 participated in union schools; that is, with churches of other<br />
denominations. Twenty-two years of vigorous promotion have resulted in approximately<br />
one third of the churches having had a school in one year. As wonderful<br />
as the achievement was in 1945, it should be recorded that of the approximately<br />
26,000 churches about two thirds did not have a school <strong>and</strong> one<br />
third did have a school. All the evidence indicates that if all the churches had<br />
conducted schools, pupils would have attended as well in 26,000 churches as they<br />
did in 8,913 churches. The reason they did not attend in some 17,000 churches<br />
was primarily because they were not given the opportunity.<br />
Associations.—Schools were reported or located in 869 of the 902 co-operating<br />
associations. No doubt, there were unlocated schools in some of the<br />
other 33 associations. One of the heartening features of the total work is the<br />
manner in which so many of the district associations are making an organized<br />
<strong>and</strong> determined effort to get Vacation Bible schools in all the churches. A<br />
growing number are becoming one <strong>hundred</strong> per cent in the number of churches<br />
having a school.<br />
PROSPECTS<br />
The prospects are that there will probably be 12,500 or more schools in 1946.<br />
Several states have provided for a one-day associational Vacation Bible school<br />
conference in every association in the state. A volunteer army of more than<br />
1,000 people will be busy this spring visiting churches, conducting conferences,<br />
<strong>and</strong> planning for church, mission, <strong>and</strong> Negro schools. Besides these volunteers,<br />
associational <strong>and</strong> district missionaries will be enthusiastiacally at work. During<br />
the summer months in many of the states both the state mission boards <strong>and</strong> the<br />
Home Mission Board will have large numbers of summer workers, mostly in<br />
rural areas, conducting schools in churches that otherwise might not have a<br />
school. The Woman's Missionary Union will also have workers busy conducting<br />
mission schools. Many college students, pastors, Sunday school workers, <strong>and</strong><br />
other earnest Christians will not only help with a school in their own church;<br />
they will also conduct or work in schools in other churches <strong>and</strong> at mission points.<br />
The Baptist Training Unions will have their part also in this great summer<br />
ministry to child life. And the entire staff of workers at the Sunday School<br />
Board will lend a helping h<strong>and</strong> as they have so generously done in the days<br />
gone by. What the ultimate results will be from the labors of a constantly<br />
enlarging army of young people <strong>and</strong> adults promoting <strong>and</strong> conducting Vacation<br />
Bible schools, no one can foretell, but all can know that it will be glorious indeed.

THELMA ARNOTE. Director of Story Hour Work<br />
MRS. J. E. LAMBDIN, Junior <strong>and</strong> Intermediate Editor<br />
Several well defined trends in Training Union work indicate healthy growth<br />
in 1945. The circulation of the Training Union' literature in the fourth quarter<br />
of 1945 was 1,031,104 as compared with 911,083 in the fourth quarter of 1944.<br />
This counts only one month for The Baptist Training Union Magazine. The<br />
adults led with a circulation of 257,450 of the Adult Union Quarterly.<br />
The Training Union Department issued 275,388 study course awards in 1945 as<br />
compared with 252,864 in 1944.<br />
The youth program of the Training Union is exp<strong>and</strong>ing rapidly. The return<br />
of both men <strong>and</strong> women from the armed services is partly responsible for this.<br />
The state secretaries report an increasing interest in Training Union work.<br />
Worthy appropriations for the Training Union work have been made by all of the<br />
state boards.<br />
The report of the Training .Union Department is presented in two sections:<br />
the building of the Training Union curriculum, <strong>and</strong> the promotional program to<br />
help the churches to set up <strong>and</strong> carry on Training Union work. This part of the<br />
report presents the promotional program. The part dealing with curriculum<br />
building will be found in the Division of Editorial Service.<br />
THE PROMOTIONAL PROGRAM FOR 1946<br />
Theme: CHRIST ABOVE ALL<br />
Slogan: LAUNCHING A CENTURY WITH CHRIST<br />
The education <strong>and</strong> spiritual aims <strong>and</strong> the numerical <strong>and</strong> activity goals were<br />
set up by the Training Union workers of the Baptist Sunday School Board <strong>and</strong><br />
the workers of all the states. They are listed here.<br />
EDUCATIONAL AND SPIRITUAL AIMS<br />
1. To deepen the conviction of all of our churches <strong>and</strong> all of our people that<br />
training in church membership is imperative for the conquest of a new<br />
century with Christ, <strong>and</strong> that the Training Union is essential to give thi*<br />
training.<br />
2. That in all things Christ might have the pre-eminence.<br />
NUMERICAL AND ACTIVITY GOALS<br />
1. To suggest that the churches <strong>and</strong> associations set up their own calendars of<br />
Training Union work for 1946, following the themes, emphases, <strong>and</strong> activities<br />
of the Southern Baptist Training Union Calendar.<br />
2. To challenge all Training Unions to adopt as their working programs the<br />
St<strong>and</strong>ards of Excellence for Story Hours, unions, departments, <strong>and</strong> general<br />
organizations; <strong>and</strong> each association to adopt as its working program the<br />
associational St<strong>and</strong>ard of Excellence.<br />
3. To hold state associational officers' clinics in all the states to provide training<br />
for the associational officers <strong>and</strong> to help them plan the year's work for the<br />
associational Training Unions.<br />
4. To observe Southern Baptist Associational Training Union Day on Friday<br />
evening following the first Sunday in December. (December 6, 1946, for<br />
launching the program for 1947.)
406 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
5. To offer help for organizing a Training Union in every church that does not<br />
have one <strong>and</strong> to increase the number of churches with Training Union work<br />
to 15,000.<br />
6. To increase the Training Union enrolment in the Southern Baptist Convention<br />
to 1,000,000.<br />
7. To help every association to have a functioning Training Union associational<br />
organization with a full staff of officers.<br />
8. Study Course Work •<br />
(1) All associations with at least one study course<br />
(2) 8,000 churches with at least one study course<br />

GENERAL FIELD WORK<br />
The general field work of the Training Union Department will reach eve<br />
state in the Southern Baptist Convention in 1946. All field work is done in<br />
co-operation with the state forces. Our workers co-operate with the states in<br />
attending the state Training Union conventions <strong>and</strong> assemblies, holding simultaneous<br />
associational enlargement campagins, conducting leadership training<br />
schools, holding state associational officers' training clinics, <strong>and</strong> in attending<br />
general denominational meetings. The design of all the field work is to help all<br />
the churches to set up <strong>and</strong> operate fully graded Training Unions.<br />
OFFICE PROMOTION<br />
The Training Union Department office maintains contact with the associ<br />
tions, the churches <strong>and</strong> the state organizations for the full promotion of every<br />
phase of Traming Union work. Mr Emmett Golden, our office secretary, supervises<br />
the work of our office staff. A steady stream of correspondence <strong>and</strong> free<br />
literature goes from our office to all parts of the Southern Baptist Convention.<br />
STUDY COURSE WORK<br />
The textbook study course work is a vital part of the Training Union c<br />
riculum. The Training Union study course presents a series of graded textbooks<br />
for all age groups. We are promoting the idea of setting up the chu?ch<br />
membership study course under a central theme with a major empnasis for a<br />
week. Many churches have been very successful with thi* *~ eiupn*u>ii» j.ur a<br />
work. For instance, it may be set out as "
SUNDAY SCHOOL BOARD 407<br />
ing Union Department of the Sunday School Board, <strong>and</strong> all the state Training<br />
Union secretaries will appear on this program. Capacity reservations have already<br />
been made for all three weeks. Ridgecrest is a great factor in the promotional<br />
program of the Training Union.<br />
ASSOCIATIONAL PROMOTION<br />
LEONARD E. WEDEL. Director of Associational Work<br />
The close of the war with its release of thous<strong>and</strong>s of our Southern Baptists<br />
from military service is playing an important role in strengthening the associational<br />
organizations. Many of these discharged service men <strong>and</strong> women already<br />
are serving their associations as associational officers.<br />
1. According to our records there are 915 district associations. A total of 658<br />
of these associations are fully organized <strong>and</strong> 157 associations have at least<br />
an associational director. This makes a total of 815 associations fully or partially<br />
organized.<br />
2. In 1945 there were 33 St<strong>and</strong>ard associations, the largest number in our history.<br />
This figure represents a gain of 38 per cent over 1944.<br />
3. A total of 478 awards for the Associational Baptist Training Union Manual<br />
were issued.<br />
4. Associational officers' training clinics were held in every state <strong>and</strong> the District<br />
of Columbia.<br />
5. Every state <strong>and</strong> the District of Columbia promoted the Southern Baptist<br />
Simultaneous Associational Training Union Mass Meetings on December 7,<br />
1945.<br />
6. A statistical summary of our association-wide projects promoted during 1945<br />
in all the states of the Southern Baptist Convention is as follows:<br />
(1) Enlargement campaigns in 68 associations<br />
(2) Central training schools in 54 associations<br />
(3) Simultaneous study courses in 50 associations<br />
(4) Summer field work in 77 associations<br />
7. The Training Union Associational Bulletin was increased from 6 pages to 8<br />
pages in order to provide more space for helpful promotional suggestions.<br />
8. Six states have full-time workers charged with the responsibility of associational<br />
promotion.<br />
Our work for the future is directed toward three great objectives:<br />
1. To organize a Baptist Training Union in every Baptist church in the Southern<br />
Baptist Convention.<br />
2. To strengthen <strong>and</strong> enlarge existing organizations.<br />
3. To provide the best material helps possible for all our Training Union leadership.<br />
We are thankful for the fine Christian leadership of the state Training Union<br />
secretaries <strong>and</strong> their associates. They have made possible whatever progress has<br />
been achieved.<br />
ADULT DEPARTMENT<br />
CLAY I. HUDSON. Director of Adult Work<br />
The Adult work of the Training Union made great gains in 1945.<br />
The circulation of the Adult Union Quarterly for the fourth quarter of 1945<br />
was 257,450. This is a gain of 30,747 over the fourth quarter of 1944.<br />
The churches are learning that it is profitable to grade the Adult union work<br />
more closely. Practically all churches should have at least two Adult unions,<br />
one for adults who are in the age group from about 25 to 35, <strong>and</strong> one for the adults<br />
36 <strong>and</strong> above. There is great progress also in departmentizing the Adult work.<br />
All churches which can have two or more unions in the age groups as indicated<br />
above should have two Adult departments.<br />
Perhaps the greatest need in the educational program of our churches is to<br />
exp<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> develop the Adult departments of the Training Unions. The whole<br />
church life may be revitalized by bringing large numbers of adults into the<br />
Training Union on Sunday evening.
408 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
YOUNG PEOPLE'S DEPARTMENT<br />
R. MAINES RAWLS, Director of Young People's Work<br />
Definite marks of progress were recorded in the Young People's departm<br />
in 1945:<br />
The circulation of the Baptist Young People's Union Quarterly increase<br />
175,391 the fourth quarter. 1945. This also indicates an increase in membership.<br />
St<strong>and</strong>ard unions <strong>and</strong> departments increased above the preceding year's<br />
record.<br />
Study course awards to Young People gained by 9,000.<br />
Reports of new unions increased by 30 per cent.<br />
Returning servicemen <strong>and</strong> women <strong>and</strong> a return to peace furnished the key<br />
to much of the work of this department during the year. New tracts were provided,<br />
a new associational youth emphasis promoted, <strong>and</strong> Youth Week received<br />
additional attention <strong>and</strong> promotion. These were sponsored in addition to the<br />
regular work of the department.<br />
Two new study course books for Young People were published: Our Baptis<br />
Heritage, by J. Clyde Turner, <strong>and</strong> The March of Missions, by Inabelle Grave<br />
Coleman.<br />
Present trends indicate that this department mav anticipate a return t<br />
prewar level by the middle of 1947.<br />
L. • INTERMEDIATE DEPARTMENT<br />
VERSIL S. CRENSHAW, Director of Intermediate Work<br />
Never before has the report of the Intermediate department revealed mor<br />
in attainment <strong>and</strong> challenge than the report of 1945. The increases have come<br />
at a time when many forces were allied against Christian influences in the lives of<br />
boys <strong>and</strong> girls. A careful analysis of the facts reveals the following:<br />
Study course awards: 1944, 59,775; 1945, 65,706<br />
St<strong>and</strong>ard unions: 1944, 273; 1945, 294<br />

SUNDAY SCHOOL BOARD 409<br />
JUNIOR DEPARTMENT<br />
FRANCES WHTTWORTH, Director of Junior Work<br />
Southern Baptist Junior boys <strong>and</strong> girls—that exceedingly active age group<br />
9-12—are increasingly being led to direct their energies toward the Junior union<br />
program of "training in church membership." At the end of 1945 reports showed<br />
a total of 11,642 Junior unions, a gratifying gain of 403 unions over the preceding<br />
year.<br />
Emphasis is being placed on trained leadership for these Juniors, namely: an<br />
adult leader <strong>and</strong> at least one sponsor in each union, department officers, associational<br />
Junior leaders <strong>and</strong> a state leader or approved worker to promote Junior<br />
work in each state.<br />
These facts indicate steady progress:<br />
1. During the year, 888,227 copies of the Baptist Junior Union Quarterly <strong>and</strong><br />
19,783 copies of The Junior Leader were distributed. For the fourth quarter<br />
of 1945, the peak circulation for any one quarter was reached—232,200 for the<br />
Baptist Junior Union Quarterly <strong>and</strong> 20,400 for The Junior Leader.<br />
2. St<strong>and</strong>ard awards indicating an excellence in work done went to 190 Junior<br />
unions <strong>and</strong> 10 departments.<br />
3. Study Course awards for Juniors in 1945 totaled 65,723—second only to the<br />
Adults in that attainment. Awards for study of The Junior Leadership Manual<br />
totaled 1,334 <strong>and</strong> for the combined Junior <strong>and</strong> Intermediate Leaders' Manual,<br />
1,028.<br />
4. Through many Training Unions Juniors are being led to use their church<br />
libraries.<br />
5. Stress is being placed through The Baptist Training Union Magazine <strong>and</strong> other<br />
channels of promotion on practical missionary activities, improved program<br />
presentations, <strong>and</strong> more meaningful Bible study.<br />
Christian juvenile training can do much to offset juvenile delinquency. Let<br />
us be vigilant to grasp our opportunities with this aggressive age group!<br />
STORY HOUR DEPARTMENT<br />
THELMA ARNOTE, Director of Story Hour Work<br />
The year 1945 witnessed a steady increase of interest in the work of the<br />
Story Hour; a rapid expansion of the Story Hour work with more churches<br />
setting up the Story Hour as a part of the Training Union; <strong>and</strong> further grading<br />
<strong>and</strong> departmentization of the Story Hour in the churches which have it.<br />
A few quotations from correspondence reveal the extent <strong>and</strong> direction of<br />
growth in the Story Hour program during 1945.<br />
"Please send us any helps you have for organizing a Story Hour."<br />
"Last spring we had only one Story Hour. Now we are fully departmentized<br />
<strong>and</strong> have fifteen workers; we should have twenty-one."<br />
"We are having a training school next week <strong>and</strong> want to plan something for<br />
the children. What would you suggest?"<br />
"Another church in our new association has invited me to teach Story Hour<br />
leaders the week of February 10."<br />
Leadership training opportunities for Story Hour work met with increased<br />
response throughout the South during the year. Many classes using the Story<br />
Hour Leadership Manual were conducted.<br />
Plans are being made for a great program of Story Hour leadership instruction<br />
at the Ridgecrest Assembly, July 11-31. In addition to the classes in Story<br />
Hour leadership, there will be several practical discussion groups dealing with<br />
the various phases of Story Hour work.<br />
The development of Story Hour work in the churches goes h<strong>and</strong> in h<strong>and</strong> with<br />
the development of the Adult department of the Training Union. Every church,<br />
from the smallest to the largest, should have its Story Hour work. Every<br />
associational Training Union should have an associational Story Hour leader.<br />
The progress of the past in Story Hour development is a motive for the future.<br />
We anticipate an adequate Story Hour program in every Baptist church.

WILLIAM HALL PRESTON, Associate<br />
ROBERT S. DENNY, Associate<br />
JENNY LIND GATLIN, Associate<br />
FRANCES BARBOUR. Associate<br />
For the growth <strong>and</strong> expansion which has characterized all phases of the<br />
work promoted by the Department of Student Work of the Sunday School<br />
Board we are grateful to God. The most outst<strong>and</strong>ing development on the<br />
campuses is the return in tremendous numbers of ex-service men under the<br />
GI Bill of Rights.<br />
Due to this influx we have for the first time the unique <strong>and</strong> perplexing<br />
situation of two generations of college students on the campuses at the same<br />
time. This presents to the Department of Student Work, <strong>and</strong> to the schools,<br />
the unique problem of providing at one <strong>and</strong> the same time a comm<strong>and</strong>ing propam<br />
of spiritual inspiration for these two groups of students of different age<br />
levels. To meet this situation we have had a very impressive increase in the<br />
student secretarial force on the local campuses, in the larger cities, in the states,<br />
<strong>and</strong> m the Southwide activities.<br />
i Th /AP ep ^i t n e, ^i P f rs ? niiel ~7 I l 1 i^ ing ^ tne y ear the department suffered the<br />
loss of Mis. T. C. Clark Jr., <strong>and</strong> Miss Genevieve King who served respectively<br />
as traveling secretary <strong>and</strong> assistant editor of The Baptist Student. Succeeding<br />
them in the department are Miss Jenny Lind Gatlin, traveling secretary, <strong>and</strong><br />
Miss Anne Cnttendon, assist ant editor of the magazine. Miss Frances Barbour<br />
fcSnt *1S £ li & A% a u 1*1°^ of t , he work in the Professional schools<br />
throughout the South, <strong>and</strong> Robert S Denny has succeeded Dr. Claude U. Broach<br />
as associate secretary. William Hall Preston, as previously ha« served as associate<br />
secretary in the department <strong>and</strong> Miss Nelle Arnold"«T office secretary To<br />
fill vacancies Miss Dorothy Campbell <strong>and</strong> Miss Evelyn Gordon came t? the de?<br />
partment to do secretarial work For this corps of workers we a^ratefuf <strong>and</strong><br />
feel that we now have a staff characterized by faithfulness <strong>and</strong> efficiency.<br />
Religious Focus Weeks—The Religious Focus Week movement has become<br />
a definite phase of the work of the department. The BaXtchoofs?Mwhkh<br />
alone this program is promoted, have responded enthusiasticallv <strong>and</strong> with at>preciation<br />
for this service by the Department of Student Work ThT Focus<br />
Week program is a distinctly "over <strong>and</strong> above" service rendered to BaotSt<br />
schools. For such a week a team of from a dozen to a score of experienced<br />
workers go to a single campus for a week of intensive emphasis <strong>and</strong>Tromotion<br />
of the disfanctly religious work. The impact upon the campus k mor? or<br />
nounced than that from any previously attempted approach to the caSpuset<br />
While the department could not respond to all invitations for this service<br />
we were able to promote such a program in the following colleges" SSSsimilar<br />
College. 2\ewman lege In addition Stetson programs The College, to unique University these at Louisiana the Meredith feature department Union College, of College, the University, Religious co-operated Judson Furman <strong>and</strong> Focus College with, University U Week l

rather than one speaker <strong>and</strong> the throwing open of all classes for visitation by<br />
team members for a discussion of Christianity in connection with the subject<br />
being studied. The conducting of seminars on vital problems, group discussions,<br />
chapel exercises, forums, <strong>and</strong> interviews with both individuals <strong>and</strong> groups<br />
of students afford an emphasis which was previously unknown. Extensive plans<br />
for Focus Weeks for next year are well under way.<br />
State Baptist Student Conventions—In the autumn of 1945 there were held<br />
seventeen State Baptist Student Conventions—one in each state from the District<br />
of Columbia to Arizona. The keynote of the meetings was "Christ My<br />
Imperative." The program was built with the idea of holding Christ up as<br />
adequate <strong>and</strong> supreme for every need during the disturbed social conditions of<br />
the postwar era. The spiritual emphasis was predominant. The students responded<br />
to the appeal of Christ as the supreme need for every individual <strong>and</strong><br />
every campus. The meetings were well attended, there being some 3,500<br />
messengers. Adding to this number the students on the campuses where the<br />
conventions were held, the probable attendance for the series was not less than<br />
6,000.<br />
The Baptist Student Magazine—In subscriptions The Baptist Student, the<br />
official organ of the Department of Student Work, has reached its peak. This<br />
was due primarily to two factors: first, many of the servicemen returning to<br />
the campuses were anxious to receive again the magazine which in former<br />
years had proved an inspiration in their college experience; second, this year<br />
for the first time the magazine was listed on the order blanks by which the<br />
churches throughout the convention territory order literature from the Sunday<br />
School Board. At the time this report is being written the number of subscriptions<br />
approaches 12,000. It is reasonable to estimate that the number<br />
of students reading the magazine is several times the number of actual subscriptions.<br />
All in all the magazine has had its most successful year. The<br />
magazine goes not only to the campuses of the South <strong>and</strong> the churches which<br />
are now ordering it, but to other parts of the world, especially to those countries<br />
in which Southern Baptists promote missionary work.<br />
Student Retreat at Ridgecrest—Due to war conditions the Student Retreat<br />
at Ridgecrest was not held in 1945. Elaborate plans are under way for this<br />
meeting in 1946. It is to be characterized as a reunion session, special emphasis<br />
being placed upon the ex-servicemen who are now students. The date<br />
is June 5-12.<br />
B.S.U. Abroad—The B.S.U. emphasis <strong>and</strong> program continues to be popular<br />
in countries other than our own, especially those fields where the Foreign Mission<br />
Board has missionaries. Two well-trained Baptist Student Union secretaries<br />
have been sent to foreign fields, while to missionaries on other fields<br />
has been delegated the responsibility of directing, though not with their full<br />
time, student religious activities. The latter arrangement is particularly true<br />
in China. Considerable emphasis has been placed upon student work in the<br />
Hawaiian Isl<strong>and</strong>s <strong>and</strong> renewal of the work in Japan is anticipated when conditions<br />
will permit.<br />
The Department of Student Work maintains vital contact with the Youth<br />
Committee of the Baptist World Alliance through which its message has outlet<br />
to the nations around the world. Through this alliance <strong>and</strong> promotional activity<br />
the Baptist students of the South are afforded a world outlook <strong>and</strong> a truly<br />
ecumenical program in keeping with the Great Commission in which we are<br />
comm<strong>and</strong>ed to go "into all the world." The international, or ecumenical, emphasis<br />
so predominant today, is thereby made a vital part of the program of<br />
our college students.<br />
World Baptist Youth Congress—In keeping with the foregoing paragraph,<br />
it is the plan of the Youth Committee of the Baptist World Alliance to promote<br />
the third World Congress of Baptist Youth as soon as travel conditions will<br />
permit. Such a meeting may be held in 1947 or 1948, either in connection<br />
with, or in close proximity to, the next Congress of the Baptist World Alliance.<br />
All-Southern Baptist Student Conference—The year 1946 is the regular<br />
time for the next All-Southern Quadrennial Baptist Student Conference, the<br />
1942 meeting being impossible due to the war. Due to the continued congestion<br />
in travel but especially in hotel accommodations, it will be impossible to hold<br />
the 1947.<br />
meeting this year. Accordingly, it has been postponed until the fall of
418 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
Volunteer Summer Work of Students—The Department of Student Work<br />
maintains its effort to enlist students throughout the South for volunteer work<br />
in their home churches, their district associations, <strong>and</strong> their state. In response<br />
to this appeal students have responded in the most gratifying way. Many<br />
students went afield during the summer of 1945 under the direction of their<br />
state Baptist leadership <strong>and</strong> rendered an invaluable service. The Vacation<br />
Bible School continues to utilize thous<strong>and</strong>s. Youth Revivals are held throughout<br />
the South. Mission classes are conducted. Study courses are taught. Institutes<br />
are held. Distinctly missionary work in the mountain sections, among<br />
the Negroes, Indians, <strong>and</strong> foreign people, is done by college students. Plans<br />
are under way upon an enlarged scale for such work during the summer of<br />
1946. This is being promoted in co-operation with the State Mission Boards<br />
<strong>and</strong> the Home Mission Board which, last year, employed approximately two<br />
<strong>hundred</strong> college students.<br />
Secretaries' Conference in Nashville—In January there came from o<br />
the South to Nashville for a three day conference ninety-odd student religious<br />
secretaries. This was the largest number ever to attend this meeting. The results<br />
of this vitally important meeting were more than satisfactory. The student<br />
secretaries expressed their gratitude to the Sunday School Board for making<br />
possible this occasion of such helpfulness in the promotion of their work.<br />
Work in the Professional Schools—With the coming of Miss Barbour as a<br />
special worker in this field, the work in the business colleges, nurses' training<br />
schools, <strong>and</strong> other professional schools has gone forward with renewed <strong>and</strong><br />
gratifying results. Some special literature has been produced <strong>and</strong> more is in<br />
the making. Special meetings are being planned for this constituency of the<br />
student life of the South. An increasing number of the professional students<br />
are attending general meetings, conventions, <strong>and</strong> retreats planned by the Department<br />
of Student Work <strong>and</strong> all privileges are being extended to them.<br />
The publication for the schools of nursing—The Prescription—has increased<br />
in circulation. Pamphlets entitled "The Nurse Herself" <strong>and</strong> "My Cap" have<br />
been prepared for use in the nursing schools.<br />
Denominational Loyalty—The Department of Student Work seeks to ke<br />
the interest <strong>and</strong> activities of the entire denomination before the students. A<br />
number of B.S.U. activities have been included in the Denominational Calendar.<br />
Ihis co-operation is greatly appreciated <strong>and</strong> is proving profitable to both the<br />
denomination <strong>and</strong> the students. ,<br />
The department has made sustained effort to keep in touch with th<br />
men through specially prepared literature <strong>and</strong> mailing lists of former B.S.U.<br />
workers. This has been promoted in co-operation with the B.S.U. of the local<br />
campuses.<br />
+* A A * h e suggestion of Dr Holcomb a representative of the departm<br />
attended the nation-wide conference on recreation <strong>and</strong> amusements held at<br />
Atlantic City, New Jersey.<br />
The Master's Minority Movement continues to be a force among the<br />
students. Recurrently literature is prepared <strong>and</strong> circulated <strong>and</strong> a book stressing<br />
this emphasis is anticipated.<br />
Maximum Christianity is the idea stressed throughout all phases<br />
work. It proves helpful <strong>and</strong> aids m inspiring students in attaining their great<br />

The "My Covenant Series" of books used in connection with the Mas<br />
Minority Movement <strong>and</strong> the stressing of Maximum Christianity, continues to<br />
be popular. Some twenty thous<strong>and</strong> copies have been sold.<br />

Secretarial Force—Decidedly the most outst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>and</strong> encouraging advancement<br />
made in the work of the department is that of the increased number<br />
of full-time student religious secretaries which have been placed on local<br />
campuses, in city-wide, in statewide positions, <strong>and</strong> the additions to the Southwide<br />
staff. The number of such secretaries now approaches the one <strong>hundred</strong><br />
mark. Many others could be placed if suitable workers could be found. The<br />
most outst<strong>and</strong>ing advancement in this field is the number of Baptist colleges<br />
that are now employing full-time student religious secretaries. The st<strong>and</strong>ard<br />
is still held high. The Department of Student *Work insists that student secretaries<br />
not only be college graduates but have the Master's degree or its<br />
equivalent in life service. Much of the success of the work is due to maintaining<br />
this insistence upon properly prepared adults being employed as student<br />
secretaries. There are now serving as—<br />
Southwide secretaries 5<br />
Statewide secretaries 18<br />
Statewide associate secretaries 3<br />
City-wide secretaries 7<br />
Secretaries on a single campus (Baptist) 16<br />
Secretaries on a single campus (state <strong>and</strong> private) 33<br />
Due appreciation is given for a great host of thoroughly efficient people<br />
who give a part of their time to work with college students. While we do not<br />
call them student secretaries, we recognize their efficiency <strong>and</strong> contribution to<br />
the work. They are included in all plans for the promotion of the student work.<br />

State Student Headquarters—For the first time it is now possible to report<br />
that, with two exceptions, each state of the Southern Baptist Convention territory<br />
east of New Mexico bas a full-time state student secretary, with a<br />
separate department within the State Mission Board. All states have provided<br />
leadership for the student work, but in a few instances the appointed secretary<br />
promotes another interest along with that of the B.S.U. This development<br />
has been long anticipated <strong>and</strong> marks a distinct step forward in the work. To<br />
state it differently, we now have in the Southern Baptist Convention fourteen<br />
full-time state secretaries <strong>and</strong> four others who share their time with some<br />
other interest.<br />
Baptist Student Centers—Marked progress has been made in the matter of<br />
purchasing houses, or building houses, to be used as student centers on or<br />
adjoining the campuses of Baptist, tax supported, <strong>and</strong> privately endowed schools.<br />
In several states plans have been announced for providing such buildings for<br />
every campus in the state. This is among other outst<strong>and</strong>ing developments in<br />
the progress of student work throughout the South.

on the First Magnitude Honor Roll for 1944-45, having successfully met all<br />
points of the St<strong>and</strong>ard of Requirements. The revised St<strong>and</strong>ard, put into use<br />
last year, is more difficult than the old St<strong>and</strong>ard, therefore the schools attaining<br />

In Gratitude—Grateful for the obvious favor of God upon our work the<br />
foregoing report is submitted. To recapitulate, the most significant progress<br />
made in the year's work has been: first, in the increased number of students<br />
enlisted on local campuses <strong>and</strong> in the churches adjacent thereto, (more <strong>and</strong><br />
more students are taking their church letter from the home church <strong>and</strong> joining<br />
outright the church at the college center); second, the increased number of<br />
fuh-time student religious secretaries that have been employed for local<br />
campuses, for statewide work, <strong>and</strong> in the Southwide department; third, the<br />
progress being made m providing student centers as headquarters for B.S.U.<br />
work on local campuses <strong>and</strong> for the city-wide work; fourth, the increased opportunity<br />
<strong>and</strong> accompanying responsibility for the enlarged student bodies on<br />
the campuses throughout the South. We face the coming year with high spirit<br />
<strong>and</strong> abiding gratitude.<br />

the record of all Southern Baptist churches.<br />
Various surveys are being made at the present time <strong>and</strong> the findings will be<br />
released within the next year. The department has also been asked by Southern<br />
Baptist editors to serve as a clearing house for transmission of important news<br />
"events. The department is also co-operating with the Census Bureau in making<br />
plans for the 1946 Census of Religious Bodies.<br />
which will make it possible to collect <strong>and</strong> publish Southern Baptist data earlier<br />
At the present time a record book is being prepared for associational clerks<br />

DEPARTMENT OF CHURCH ARCHITECTURE<br />
WILLIAM A. HARRELL, Secretary<br />
During the past year our department has faced the greatest dem<strong>and</strong> in the<br />
histbry of its work. We are grateful for this opportunity of service. We would<br />
give thanks for the blessings of the year <strong>and</strong> express our gratitude for the<br />
increasing opportunities in the dem<strong>and</strong>s which are made on our department.<br />
We are grateful for loyal associates <strong>and</strong> for the co-operation of the other<br />
departments of the Sunday School Board.<br />
SCOPE OF SERVICE<br />
The Department of Church Architecture serves the 26,134 churches of the<br />
Southern Baptist Convention in their building programs. The Sunday School<br />
Board offers our department as a help to the state mission forces, the home<br />
mission forces, <strong>and</strong> the foreign mission forces, as we all join h<strong>and</strong>s in the<br />
mighty world mission task that is before us. During the past year we have<br />
served churches in Brazil, Colombia, Canada, China, Hawaii, Mexico, <strong>and</strong><br />
Nigeria.<br />
The professional architects have recognized the department as a friend <strong>and</strong><br />
are calling on us for supervision <strong>and</strong> suggestions with increasing frequency.<br />
THE DEPARTMENT STAFF<br />
Hardie C. Bass, Jr., A.I.A., architect, came to our department in July, 1945.<br />
He is making a great contribution to our staff. Charles W. Hoagl<strong>and</strong>, A.I.A.,<br />
architect, has been a valuable member of our staff since 1938. These two<br />
architects are assisted in the drafting room by Miss Edith McMillan, W. 1.<br />
Naive, T. Lee Anderton, Harold Daugherty, <strong>and</strong> Samuel H. Beck, Jr.
422 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
Mrs. Elisabeth Allen is the department secretary. She is responsible for<br />
the mail, keeps the files, prepares copy for publication, <strong>and</strong> h<strong>and</strong>les many<br />
requests for help which come to our department. She is assisted by Mrs. Dorcas<br />
Johnson.<br />
BUILDING CONDITIONS AT THIS TIME<br />
It would seem that all building, except homes for our veterans of World<br />
War II, will be curtailed for yet some time. It is estimated that this curtailment<br />
will continue until the middle or latter part of 1947. All of us have<br />
cheerfully abided by the Government regulation during the war <strong>and</strong> that will<br />
be our attitude now. Even though a building permit may be obtained, the<br />
material, which is available, is frequently of an inferior grade. The best labor<br />
is hard to obtain at this time. The next several months will not be a good time<br />
to .undertake a building program.<br />
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE NOW<br />
There are some churches which will lose tremendously if they are not able<br />
to provide more space for their growing constituency. It is not necessarily true<br />
that all building should cease just because costs are high. It is always easier<br />
to raise money during such a period <strong>and</strong> the larger amounts of money will<br />
offset the higher cost.<br />
However, all churches interested in the building program can do at least<br />
two things. It goes without saying that now is the time to raise money. Every<br />
church should put forth an effort to secure the capital funds which are to be<br />
invested in the church property. This is also the time to make a careful survey<br />
<strong>and</strong> exhaustive study of all that is needed <strong>and</strong> desirable in the new building<br />
program. Special committees should be appointed, or perhaps one large building<br />
committee divided into sub-committees, to study every angle of the church<br />
program for the next generation or two <strong>and</strong> make recommendations for the<br />
building which will house this program. The planning period is the most important<br />
period of the entire building program.<br />
THE VALUE OF A CHURCH BUILDING<br />
The church building must provide for the entire church program. If it<br />
does not it is a failure, no matter how well designed, nor how much it costs,<br />
nor how beautiful it is. The functional value is of great importance. The<br />
church building must provide for worship <strong>and</strong> preaching <strong>and</strong> it must provide<br />
for the educational program. It should never be necessary to adapt the Sundav<br />
school to the building; on the other h<strong>and</strong>, the building should be adapted to the<br />
Sunday school <strong>and</strong> the other agencies in a church program. The building<br />
should also provide for the fellowship of every group. The adults should find<br />
a suitable place in the church building. The children, from the smallest to<br />
the grownups, should find their places <strong>and</strong> know it is for them.<br />
The church building has a cultural value. There are many people who<br />
never see a more inspiring building than the church building in their community.<br />
Church buildings have been known to change whole districts bv their<br />
silent testimony <strong>and</strong> challenge to the highest <strong>and</strong> best in mankind. Church<br />
buildings express a background <strong>and</strong> at the same time a desire <strong>and</strong> longing which<br />
can never be reduced to the printed page. The masters <strong>and</strong> artists through<br />
the ages have made their contributions. The church building will ever express<br />
the highest appreciation of those who build them. The will-designed church<br />
building, will st<strong>and</strong> for decades, even centuries, to bless mankind. The cultural<br />
of P chur?h 0 Du°ndfn y s COmmUn Hfted &nd develo P ed b y th e highest type<br />
The greatest value of any church building is its spiritual value. It is<br />

GAINS IN CHURCH BUILDINGS AND PASTORS' HOMES<br />
Porter Routh, secretary of Statistics <strong>and</strong> Survey, reports that Southern<br />
Baptists had a net gain during 1945 of 439 church buildings <strong>and</strong> 370 pastors'<br />
homes. The information is gathered from the Associational Minutes. Mr.<br />
Routh also reports a net gain during the year of $16,675,836 invested in church<br />
buildings <strong>and</strong> pastors' homes. Southern Baptists now report 24,532 church<br />
buildings <strong>and</strong> 5,395 pastors' homes. The total value of all Southern Baptist<br />
church property is $276,689,771, as reported in 1945. The gains during this<br />
past year were greater than the year before.<br />

CHOOSE THE BEST ARCHITECT<br />
After a complete study has been made <strong>and</strong> assistance has been secured from<br />
every source, the church will still need the services of the very best available<br />
architect in designing <strong>and</strong> constructing the new building. The architect is the<br />
professional adviser <strong>and</strong> should be secured after serious consideration. The<br />
experienced man is the most desirable. The fee paid the architect should not<br />
be considered as extra cost, but should be considered just as necessary as the<br />
amount paid the other master workmen whose services shall be engaged. The<br />
architect will save the average church enough money to pay for his service*<br />
several times. These men spend a lifetime preparing for their profession <strong>and</strong><br />
will save you many mistakes <strong>and</strong> produce far more beautiful buildings than<br />
could be obtained otherwise. The church building is the most outst<strong>and</strong>ing<br />
building any community will construct in a lifetime. By all means, secure the<br />
nest available architect to prepare your construction drawings, specifications,<br />
<strong>and</strong> to supervise the construction of the building.<br />

area for visiting <strong>and</strong> fellowship. Why not plan some benches under the trees<br />
<strong>and</strong> walkways lined with shrubs <strong>and</strong> flowers? There could be a recreational<br />
area with an outdoor fireplace for picnics. If there is a cemetery it should<br />
be well kept <strong>and</strong> beautiful.<br />
A pastor's home could be provided near by with space for a garden, chickens,<br />
<strong>and</strong> a barn for the livestock. It could be the same type building as the<br />
church house. The pastor could live with his people <strong>and</strong> become a part of their<br />
lives. The qhurch should become the center of the community <strong>and</strong> exert an<br />
influence for good <strong>and</strong> for God.<br />
Can you think of a more beautiful <strong>and</strong> inspiring sight than <strong>hundred</strong>s of<br />
such church centers throughout our country? We can all do our part in making<br />
it come true.<br />
EXHIBITS AND CONFERENCES<br />
The secretary of the department has conducted conferences in association,<br />
state, <strong>and</strong> southwide meetings. Many of the Sunday school state conventions<br />
were visited. The secretary of the department, assisted by Hardie C. Bass, Jr.,<br />
<strong>and</strong> T. Lee Anderton, conducted a series of lectures <strong>and</strong> conferences at the<br />
Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky. These conferences<br />
are conducted annually at the request of Dr. G. S. Dobbins <strong>and</strong> have<br />
proved most effective.<br />
PASTORS AND COMMITTEES WELCOME<br />
It is our desire to go as far as it is humanly possible in answering all the<br />
calls that come for conferences <strong>and</strong> consultations with the churches.<br />
All pastors, church committees, superintendents, directors, <strong>and</strong> others are<br />
welcome to come to our department <strong>and</strong> studio, Baptist Sunday School Board,<br />
Nashville, Tennessee, any time we can help you. If you will call, wire, or write,<br />
we will be better prepared to serve you when you come.<br />
DEPARTMENT OF CHURCH MUSIC<br />
B. B. McKINNEY. Secretary<br />
We are thankful for the increased interest in Church Music throughout<br />
the Southern Baptist Convention territory. Many churches have realized the<br />
urgent need for a full ministry of music through the age-group plan of choir<br />
work <strong>and</strong> have inaugurated this plan.<br />
Since our last report we have participated in many schools, conferences,<br />
conventions, <strong>and</strong> assemblies. We are happy to report that a Church Music<br />
Secretary has been elected in the following states: Arkansas, Texas, Mississippi,<br />
Oklahoma, <strong>and</strong> Florida. Other states are soon to follow their noble example.<br />
More age-group choirs were organized, more conferences <strong>and</strong> more church<br />
music schools were conducted this year than during any one year in the history<br />
of Southern Baptists.<br />
The Sixth Southwide Church Music Conference will convene at Ridgecrest,<br />
North Carolina, August 22-30, 1946. This conference offers a marvelous opportunity<br />
for: pastors, choir directors, organists, pianists, songleaders, choir<br />
singers, soloists, music teachers, <strong>and</strong> students.<br />
It is a pleasure to join the other forces of the Sunday School Board <strong>and</strong><br />
the state boards in promoting great church music.

SUNDAY SCHOOL BOARD 427<br />
During the weeks of October 28-November 13, the first regional tour was<br />
conducted in co-operation with Miss Christine Little, manager of the Nashville<br />
Book Store. Afternoon <strong>and</strong> evening conferences on library promotion were held<br />
in each of the eight regions of Tennessee. The enthusiasm was keen among the<br />
two <strong>hundred</strong> <strong>and</strong> seventy-three registered representatives who came from seventy-seven<br />
Baptist churches in the state. This effort was more than productive.<br />
Dr. Holcomb, Dr. Williams, Mr. Ingraham, <strong>and</strong> Mr. R. L. Middleton were the<br />
principal speakers on these programs.<br />
During the year, thirty-<strong>six</strong> different churches have been visited by the<br />
secretary in the interest of library promotion.<br />
MONTHLY BULLETIN<br />
We continue to use as the organ of promotion the Church Library Bulletin<br />
which is issued each month <strong>and</strong> sent to every church librarian whose name appears<br />
on our mailing list. The pastors of these churches also receive the Bulletin.<br />
It has been enlarged somewhat <strong>and</strong> its circulation has been greatly increased.<br />
The various periodicals of the Board have given space to library promotion<br />
during the year. This is a most helpful avenue of promotion. We appreciate<br />
the opportunity.<br />
BOOK STORES<br />
Not only have we had the full <strong>and</strong> eager co-operation of the library workers<br />
from the different Book Stores, but the managers of all of the stores have<br />
shown a most friendly attitude toward library promotion. Thirteen stores have<br />
been personally visited during the past year.<br />
NEW LIBRARIES<br />
During the last twelve months we have added 388 new libraries to our list<br />
bringing the total of church libraries registered with the Church Library Service<br />
up to 2,322.<br />
NEW PLANS<br />
We feel that one of the most needed emphases at present is the training<br />
of our church librarians. With this in mind it is our hope that we can soon<br />
have a Church Library Clinic conducted in Nashville to which the churches<br />
will send their librarians for intensive training. It is also our hope to have<br />
at Ridgecrest each summer a Church Library School that will be so graded<br />
that we can train new workers for church librarians, <strong>and</strong> give additional training<br />
of a more advance type to the librarians already serving. The first Ridgecrest<br />
school has been scheduled for August 22-30 this year.<br />
NEW LEAFLETS AND FILM STRIP<br />
We have added four new leaflets to our group: The Value of Books, by W. W.<br />
Melton, The Church Library Reinforcing the Work of the Denomination, by W.<br />
A. Criswell, Special Library Programs, <strong>and</strong> Processing the Books.<br />
Recently we have produced with the aid of Mary Lucile Saunders, who at<br />
that time served as staff photographer of the Board, a film strip to aid in teaching<br />
librarians the proper way to process books. We are planning three additional<br />
film strips to be used in teaching the text book, The Church Library Manual,<br />
by Althoff.<br />
HOME LIBRARIES<br />
On March 8, at a meeting of the Library Committee of the Board, the<br />
secretary of Church Library Service was authorized to begin the promotion of<br />
home libraries in our Baptist homes throughout our Convention territory. Definite<br />
plans <strong>and</strong> a promotional program for this new <strong>and</strong> enlarged service have been<br />
started This new emphasis offers a challenging <strong>and</strong> intriguing opportunity.
428 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
VISUAL EDUCATION SERVICE<br />
EARL WALDRUP. Secretary<br />
Since the beginning of the Visual Education Service it has been greatly<br />
h<strong>and</strong>icapped by war conditions. Equipment for projected visual aids has been<br />
in most cases unobtainable. There have been times when the non-projected<br />
aids have been hard to get. Now the future looks good. With the cessation of<br />
war, industry has been able to turn its facilities to the production of materials<br />
for civilian consumption. Recent estimates are that there will be 50,000 16 mm<br />
motion picture projectors produced during 1946. This is compared to approximately<br />
15,000 in existence in the whole United States before the war. Production<br />
of other visual aids, equipment <strong>and</strong> materials is on the same increased<br />
scale. Manufacturers are speeding up deliveries, so it should not be too long before<br />
every church will be able to get what it wants.<br />
In the motion picture field, in spite of many h<strong>and</strong>icaps <strong>and</strong> restrictions,<br />
developments have taken place which point to a bright future. Cathedral<br />
Films has outlined an extensive program of production. The quality of their<br />
work is good. The Religious Film Association is rendering an invaluable service.<br />
The Protestant Film Commission is in a campaign to raise $1,000,000 to<br />
begin its program. Its purpose is to produce, co-ordinate the efforts of independent<br />
projects of denominational groups, <strong>and</strong> put pressure on commercial<br />
producers to get more acceptable work from them. The Religious Film Society<br />
of Great Britian is working in close co-operation with American producers<br />
of educational <strong>and</strong> religious films in an effort to co-ordinate British <strong>and</strong> American<br />
plans <strong>and</strong> productions.<br />
However, the most promising development during the past year or two has<br />
been the general realization of the value of visual aids in Religious Education.<br />
Pastors, educational directors, teachers, <strong>and</strong> workers in general have become<br />
enthusiastic about the powerful means of teaching at our disposal in visual aids.<br />
Letters of inquiry are coming from all parts of the Convention; churches everywhere<br />
are clamoring for equipment <strong>and</strong> acceptable materials; <strong>and</strong> more constructive<br />
planning is being done than has ever been known in the field of visual<br />
instruction.<br />
Denominational agencies are making every effort to meet the needs of<br />
local churches. Materials are being reviewed, programs are being planned,<br />
<strong>and</strong> the best equipment is being made available through our book stores. The<br />
Sunday School Board has recently signed a dealership contract with Bell <strong>and</strong><br />
Howell to h<strong>and</strong>le their equipment. This has brought enthusiastic commendation<br />
from many quarters. Bell <strong>and</strong> Howell projection <strong>and</strong> sound equipment<br />
ranks with the best. The Board's decision to distribute this equipment came<br />
after five years of experimenting with <strong>and</strong> studying all that is available.<br />
The years of 1945 <strong>and</strong> 1946 have seen history made in the field of visual instruction.<br />
The stage is all set for even greater things. With caution, constructive<br />
planning, <strong>and</strong> enthusiasm let us move on.
TWENTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT<br />

INTRODUCTION<br />
In compliance with the request of the executive committee of the convention,<br />
the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board's twenty-eighth annual report has been so written<br />
<strong>and</strong> arranged as to give^ to Southern Baptists an historical account of the<br />
work of ministerial relief in the South before this Board was created, <strong>and</strong> also<br />
to give an historical review of the operations of the Board in relief <strong>and</strong> annuities<br />
since its creation from 1918 to December 31, 1944. Then, will follow the report<br />
of our current operations during the year 1945, including the first quarter of<br />
1946, <strong>and</strong> finally there is given a preview of the probable activities <strong>and</strong> achievements<br />
of the Board during the months <strong>and</strong> years that lie ahead.<br />
The chapter headings, therefore, are as follows:<br />

CHAPTER I. LOOKING BACKWARD FROM 1918<br />
Southern Baptists prior to 1918 were not wholly unmindful of their obligation<br />
to provide sustenance for their aged <strong>and</strong> disabled ministers <strong>and</strong> for the<br />
widows <strong>and</strong> orphans of their deceased ministers. We may be sure that they<br />
did much more for their faithful retired spiritual leaders than was ever fully<br />
revealed in their reperts to their Associations <strong>and</strong> Conventions.<br />
Our people generally speaking have loved <strong>and</strong> even revered their preachers.<br />
They accepted Paul's great word in First Corinthians 9:14: "Even so hath the<br />
Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel."<br />
Yet the social implications of that <strong>and</strong> other Scriptures in both the Old <strong>and</strong><br />
New Testaments have been sadly overlooked by most of us. They are overlooked<br />
today by far too many among us. In the book of Ecclesiastes we are<br />
told that, "There was a little city with few'men within it; <strong>and</strong> there came a<br />
great king against it, <strong>and</strong> besieged if, <strong>and</strong> built great bulwarks against it. Now<br />
there was found in it a poor wise man, <strong>and</strong> he by his wisdom delivered the city;<br />
yet no man remembered that same poor man." In spite of the obvious implication<br />
of this passage from Ecclesiastes we hasten to affirm that a similar failure<br />
upon the part of Southern Baptists to provide support for their "poor wise men"<br />
has been due not so much to ingratitude as to want of thought. It is a comforting<br />
fact that at least as far back as fifty years ago most of the states in the<br />
Southern Baptist Convention promoted in some measure the cause of ministerial<br />
relief <strong>and</strong> in several states ministerial relief boards were organized <strong>and</strong> were<br />
[ 429 ]
430 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
collecting <strong>and</strong> distributing funds to indigent ministers <strong>and</strong> to the widows of<br />
ministers.<br />
It, therefore, may properly be said that the intervening years between<br />
1845 (the year the Southern Baptist Convention was organized) <strong>and</strong> 1918<br />
constitute a period of preparation for the truly large work upon which Southern<br />
Baptists entered during the last named year. It is an admitted fact that Southern<br />
Baptist achievements in ministerial relief during this period were meager.<br />
We do well, however, not to undervalue these achievements, small though they<br />
were. We should remember, too, that "great oaks from little acorns grow," <strong>and</strong><br />
that the ministerial relief efforts of the churches during these yesteryears gave<br />
rise <strong>and</strong> impetus to the movement which led to the formation of the Relief <strong>and</strong><br />
Annuity Board of the Southern Baptist Convention in May, 1918.<br />
Prior to 1918, state organizations or committees for the promotion of the<br />
cause af ministerial relief came into being in many of the states. Our archives<br />
contain records of these in South Carolina, Virginia, Missouri, Maryl<strong>and</strong>, Kentucky,<br />
North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Georgia, Alabama, <strong>and</strong> Mississippi. In<br />
several states, notably Maryl<strong>and</strong>, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky,<br />
Texas, <strong>and</strong> Missouri, considerable endowment funds were raised. Some of these<br />
endowments have been transferred to the custody of the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity<br />
Board. Other sums are held by state bodies, the income being used either for<br />
supplementary relief grants or sent to the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board to aid in<br />
meeting the obligation of the Ministers Retirement Plans. The aggregate of<br />
state funds thus administered is approximately $300,000.<br />
SOME IMMORTAL LEADERS IN THE CAUSE OF MINISTERIAL<br />
RELIEF BEFORE 1918<br />
In Maryl<strong>and</strong>, there was Wm. Crane, a great Baptist who first suggested the<br />
organization of the Widows' <strong>and</strong> Superannuated Ministers' Fund. This organization<br />
dates from 1839. Professor J. H. Deems also gave his services without<br />
stint <strong>and</strong> without pecuniary gain for a long period of years.<br />
In Virginia, there was Chas. L. Cocke, who became the first president of the<br />
Virginia Board of Ministerial Relief, organized in 1872. Other devoted Virginia<br />
leaders in later years were Mr. T. H. Ellet <strong>and</strong> Mr. A. W. Patterson. An endowment<br />
fund of $77,427.27 was reported by the Virginia Board in 1944.<br />
In South Carolina, Wm. Thayer <strong>and</strong> W. A. Gaines were early leaders.<br />
Through their influence a Board of Ministerial Relief was organized in 1873.<br />
This Board disappeared in the 80's, but was revived in 1890 under the able<br />
<strong>and</strong> zealous leadership of Dr. C. C. Brown, pastor of the First Baptist Church<br />
of Sumter. Dr. Brown served as secretary of the Board in conjunction with<br />
his pastorate, <strong>and</strong>, first <strong>and</strong> last, he raised an endowment of $50,000.<br />
In Tennessee, Wm. Huff led in the creation of a Board of Ministerial Relief<br />
!/nnn£ earS aft ? r ? e ?i e °L the Civil War - Eventually an endowment fund of<br />
$10,000 was raised. T. E. Glass was secretary <strong>and</strong> treasurer of the Board for<br />

RELIEF AND ANNUITY BOARD 431<br />
The fruits of the labors of these unknown champions of aged ministers' relief<br />
have subsequently been very much in evidence.<br />
In addition to the activities above mentioned, all of which were preparatory<br />
to the great work which Southern Baptists were destined with God's guidance <strong>and</strong><br />
empowerment to accomplish, there were certain other preparatory movements<br />
of very great significance which should not be overlooked.<br />
There were far-reaching plans, accompanied by sacrificial service <strong>and</strong> gifts<br />
on the part of many of our people, looking to the better preparation of men<br />
for the work of the Gospel ministry. During the past century <strong>and</strong> more, colleges<br />
or universities were started in nearly all the states of the convention. Worthy<br />
—often classical—buildings were erected, <strong>and</strong> considerable endowments were<br />
raised. To these institutions of higher learning <strong>and</strong> to Baptist academies, which<br />
were operated as subsidiaries to the colleges <strong>and</strong> universities on the same<br />
campuses, or separately as feeders to these institutions, came thous<strong>and</strong>s of young<br />
students for the ministry. Such schools were a boon to great numbers of young<br />
men who had heard the call of Christ, "Come ye after me <strong>and</strong> I will make you<br />
fishers of men." In the Bible <strong>and</strong> theological departments of our Baptist Colleges,<br />
young men were given a considerable measure of training for the Gospel<br />
ministry which had previously been received by only a fortunate few who<br />
could attend the colleges <strong>and</strong> seminaries in the states of the North. Ministerial<br />
student aid funds were graciously provided in all schools, thus enabling young<br />
men to avail themselves of the instruction provided for them. It should be<br />
remembered that practically all of our Baptist colleges were originally brought<br />
into being for the primary purpose of providing an educated ministry.<br />
Then followed, in 1859, the founding of the Southern Baptist Theological<br />
Seminary at Greenville, South Carolina, which institution was later moved to<br />
Louisville, Kentucky. From this great institution have come into the pastoral<br />
leadership of our churches thous<strong>and</strong>s of well equipped men who, humanly<br />
speaking, have made spiritually dynamic forces of thous<strong>and</strong>s of our churches.<br />
In later years, were founded the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary<br />
at Fort Worth, Texas (1909), <strong>and</strong> the Baptist Bible Institute, New Orleans,<br />
Louisiana (1918). These two institutions have played a great role along with<br />
the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, not alone by way of training men<br />
to pastor our churches, but also of developing in the churches an appreciation<br />
of the superior preaching <strong>and</strong> leadership of trained pastors.<br />
Under the leadership of a better trained ministry, great improvement was<br />
brought about in the preaching of thous<strong>and</strong>s more of our faithful pastors who<br />
were unable to take advantage of regular courses of study in our colleges <strong>and</strong><br />
seminaries. Many preachers have been developed by an informal <strong>and</strong> maybe an<br />
unconscious tuition under the influence of highly trained pastors with whom<br />
they were associated in the pastors' conferences, district associations, state <strong>and</strong><br />
southern conventions. From these <strong>and</strong> other contacts, the fairly unlettered<br />
preacher often learned both what to preach <strong>and</strong> also how to preach. From<br />
the trained preachers, these men learned how to use books, particularly theological<br />
treatises, commentaries, <strong>and</strong> other helpful literature. At the same time,<br />
they learned the better how to speak good English. Southern Baptists have<br />
never made rigid scholastic requirements of those men who in response to God's<br />
call offered themselves on the altar of ministerial service. They have, however,<br />
always desired that all preachers should seek to improve their preaching by<br />
study, by associating themselves with men of God who were also men of letters,<br />
<strong>and</strong> by availing themselves of the advantages offered them by preacher schools,<br />
conferences, <strong>and</strong> correspondence courses offered by theological schools. Often<br />
such men have found it possible, even late in life, to attend one of our seminaries.<br />
A further preparation for the great undertaking of Southern Baptists in providing<br />
for the economic security of their preachers in their old age or earlier<br />
physical incapacity has been a growing recognition on the part of the churches<br />
of their obligation to provide regular monthly incomes (salaries) for their<br />
pastors. Southern Baptist churches have been slower to do this than some<br />
other religious groups. For illustration, in a single state where Baptists are<br />
very numerous there are 250 pastors who receive in a year's time from<br />
$25 to $100 from each of their churches. Such meager salaries are known to<br />
be provided by very many of our churches in several states in which Baptists are<br />
numerically strong.<br />
census Considerable showed that improvement Southern Baptists in this regard provided has been for their made. pastors In 1910, an the annual federal in-
432 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
come averaging $344. Recent studies of available information reveal that by<br />
1940 the average salary has risen to $1,000 per annum. Salaries are now<br />
averaging above $1,000; yet, even now, thous<strong>and</strong>s of our pastors receive utterly<br />
inadequate salaries. The worthy pensioning of these meagerly supported<br />
preachers must await the development in their churches of a spirit of liberality<br />
toward all missionary, educational, <strong>and</strong> benevolent activities of their denomination.<br />
When the missionary, educational, <strong>and</strong> benevolent causes systematically<br />
receive worthy offerings, then, <strong>and</strong> not until then, is it likely that the pastors of<br />
these churches will really "live of the Gospel." Such pastors are, of necessity,<br />
doing secular work in order to provide a support for themselves <strong>and</strong> their<br />
familes. It is altogether probable that not a few of the churches falling in the<br />
category above mentioned are fairly moribund <strong>and</strong> need to be merged with<br />
other churches which enjoy the advantage of better locations <strong>and</strong> stronger<br />
memberships.<br />
Further vitally important preparatory steps in the direction of a great<br />
Southern Baptist work for the care of aged <strong>and</strong> disabled preachers, missionaries,<br />
<strong>and</strong> the widows of such" were taken beginning with a spontaneous discussion of<br />
the need of such work at a regular session of a Baptist pastors' conference.<br />
Here is presented excerpts from the historical statement vividly <strong>and</strong> accurately<br />
written by the late Dr. Allen Fort, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Nashville,<br />
Tennessee, <strong>and</strong> published in Veterans of the Cross (1921).<br />
"It was at a session of the Nashville Baptist Pastors' Conference, on a<br />
Monday morning in the autumn of 1916, that the present movement among<br />
Southern Baptists for Ministerial Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuities was started.<br />
"At the session of the Nashville Conference, on that particular morning,<br />
there was no special business before the body. The usual reports of the pastors<br />
had been given, <strong>and</strong> a motion to adjourn was about to be made. Dr. William<br />
Lunsford, pastor of the Edgefield Church, Nashville, asked if he might speak a<br />
word on a matter of general interest. The permission was readily granted, <strong>and</strong><br />
Doctor Lunsford, who was the senior pastor in point of years of service in the<br />
city, addressed his brother pastors on a subject which had been on his heart.<br />
"Doctor Lunsford spoke with great feeling <strong>and</strong> greatly stirred the hearts<br />
those present. When he had finished several short talks were made by the<br />
pastors present, <strong>and</strong> they were a unit in the belief that the word of the chief<br />
speaker ought to be heeded.<br />
T "? ev ? ral members of the Nashville Pastors' Conference, along with Doctor<br />
Lunsford were members of the Sunday School Board. The board was at this<br />
time without a secretary, Doctor Frost having died a short while before this<br />
discussion on ministerial relief. Dr. I. J. Van Ness was acting Corresponding<br />
Secretary of the board (he was made secretary at the New Orleans Convention,<br />
May, 1917), <strong>and</strong> he, too, had been giving serious consideration to the need of a<br />
larger <strong>and</strong> more adequate plan for the work of ministerial relief. Several<br />
members of the Sunday School Board, ministers <strong>and</strong> laymen, had been thinking<br />
along this same line. The matter was mentioned informally at the next board<br />
me ,f l n $' a , nd A a u S dls f«.ssed by the members of the board as they met one another<br />
<strong>and</strong> talked of the affairs of the denomination. Acting Secretary Van Ness, in<br />
his recommendations to the board at the January, 1917, meeting, recommended<br />
that the board set apart $75,000 to start a fund for the purpose of ministerial<br />
relief, <strong>and</strong> that said sum be reported to the Convention. On motion of the<br />
writer the amount was changed from $75,000 to $100,000; the recommendation<br />
as amended was unanimously <strong>and</strong> enthusiastically passed by the board. The<br />
Orleans as follows^ ' S m * tS &nnUal reP ° rt t0 the convent ion at New<br />
" 'At the January meeting the board voted to request the Southern Bantist<br />
Convention, at its coming session, to consider the appointment of a commfsrion<br />
to examine the various plans now being operated for ministerial relief in the<br />
various states <strong>and</strong>, pending the submission of this recommendation to the Convention<br />
<strong>and</strong> the report of such a commission if appointed, the board set aside<br />
the sum of $100,000 to be held intact as a contribution to such a fund when<br />
established. The board has no special plan for advancing this work nor is its<br />
gift connected with any other movement of this kind. When the Matter wa=<br />
first suggested, we had no information of any other action along similar lines<br />
We have been glad to hear that various state conventions have taken action <strong>and</strong><br />
will present memorials at this meeting.
RELIEF AND ANNUITY BOARD 433<br />
" 'The Sunday School Board, therefore, requests the appointment at the<br />
present session of a special committee to whom this proposition shall be referred,<br />
<strong>and</strong> to whom the Convention, if it deems best, may refer all similar<br />
requests from other sources, the said committee to report to this session as to<br />
the whole matter. The entire $100,000 for this fund is now in h<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> is<br />
included with the invested funds of the board. It will be held subject to the<br />
decision of the Convention.'<br />
"This report was adopted <strong>and</strong> President Gambrell appointed the following<br />
as the Commission: Alban Fort, J. F. Brownlow, O. C. Barton, Howard E. Frost,<br />
W. W. L<strong>and</strong>rum, William Lunsford, I. J. Van Ness, Austin Crouch, A. C. Cree,<br />
T. B. Ray, A. B. Hill, <strong>and</strong> E. W. Stephens. It will be seen that the president<br />
appointed twelve members on this commission, thus accepting the recommendation<br />
that more than nine might be appointed if thought wise.<br />
"The new commission met in the city of Nashville, on the 11th day of June,<br />
1917, <strong>and</strong> organized by electing Allen Fort chairman <strong>and</strong> William Lunsford<br />
secretary. On account of his study of the question <strong>and</strong> his deep interest in the<br />
work, the responsibility of collecting facts <strong>and</strong> material with a view to formulating<br />
a definite program was given to the secretary. He immediately began his<br />
task, <strong>and</strong> visited the headquarters of the various denominations of the country<br />
engaged in ministerial relief. Conferences were held with the different secretaries<br />
<strong>and</strong> insurance men, <strong>and</strong> others interested in annuities <strong>and</strong> relief work<br />
were consulted. It ought to be said in passing that the cooperation given the<br />
commission by these men of other denominations <strong>and</strong> in the insurance world<br />
was very graciously given <strong>and</strong> proved of great value.<br />
"Many sessions of the commission were held. The members took their<br />
work very seriously <strong>and</strong> gave freely of their time. The discussions were<br />
most interesting <strong>and</strong> helpful. Every point was gone into, <strong>and</strong> every recommendation<br />
thoroughly discussed before passed. The men on the commission were<br />
men of experience in denominational affairs who had an intense interest in the<br />
success of the movement entrusted to them. The leadership of the secretary,<br />
Doctor Lunsford, <strong>and</strong> the cooperation of the members of the commission resulted<br />
in the comprehensive report of the commission which was made to the Convention<br />
at Hot Springs in 1918.<br />
"Perhaps the most important phase of this report, so far as the future of the<br />
work was concerned, was the recommendation that a BOARD OF MINISTERIAL<br />
RELIEF AND ANNUITIES BE ESTABLISHED. This recommendation was<br />
suggested by Dr. I. J. Van Ness. He realized the limitations of a commission<br />
<strong>and</strong> felt that a board should be organized to continue the work permanently."<br />

PROMISING BEGINNINGS<br />
The report of the Commission on Ministerial Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuities having<br />
been adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention, May 20, 1918, the convention,<br />
through its committee on boards, appointed the following named<br />
brethren to constitute "The Board of Ministerial Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuities," viz:<br />
STATE MEMBERS: H. B. Foster, Alabama; G. W. Puryear, Arkansas; J. J.<br />
Darlington, District of Columbia; N. A. Blitch, Florida; J. E. Sammons, Georgia;<br />

Brown, South Carolina; Wm. Lunsford, Tennessee; G. W. McDaniel, Virginia;<br />
R. T. Hanks, Texas. LOCAL MEMBERS: M. H. Wolfe, J. Dabney Day,<br />
L. R. Scarborough, R. H. Coleman, C. D. Fine, Cullen F. Thomas, 0. C. Payne,<br />
J. L. Gross, Wallace Basset, E. C. Routh, Hal White, D. Y. Bagby, George W.<br />
Truett, 0. S. Lattimore, S. P. Brooks, J. H. Moore, Rice Maxey, Sam H. Campbell.<br />
The Convention having referred the choosing of an executive head to the<br />
Board itself, the Board at its first meeting on July 10, 1918, in the City of<br />
Dallas, Texas, chose Dr. William Lunsford to fill the office of corresponding<br />
secretary. Other officers chosen were Dr. Samuel P. Brooks, president; Robert<br />
H. Coleman, recording secretary; Judge Rice Maxey, vice president; J. Dabney<br />
Day, treasurer.<br />
As instructed by the convention, the new board set about securing a chart<br />
This task it very readily accomplished under the Texas statutes. This was done<br />
on July 31, 1918, <strong>and</strong> the same was amended September 17, 1920, whereby the<br />
corporate name of the board was changed from "The Board of Ministerial<br />
Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuities of the Southern Baptist Convention" to "RELIEF AND<br />
ANNUITY BOARD OF THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION."<br />
At its first meeting, the Board provided for the setting up of the machin<br />
of two great departments of work, viz., the department of relief <strong>and</strong> the department<br />
of annuities.<br />
The first of these departments began to function almost immediately in an<br />
organizing way, although the benefits distributed during the first year aggregated<br />
only $1,397. Funds were requested from the churches of the several states<br />
in the aggregate sum of $150,000 (One Hundred <strong>and</strong> Fifty Thous<strong>and</strong>s Dollars)<br />
for the Convention year 1918-1919. The sum actually received from the<br />
churches during the first year was $4,545.42. Evidently, the apportionment<br />
committees of the southern <strong>and</strong> state conventions either did not make the<br />
apportionments or they were announced too Late to secure worthy results. In<br />
several of the states, the funds given were channeled to the aged ministers<br />
through the state Ministers Relief Societies. At any rate the new Board could<br />
not function effectively save as definite <strong>and</strong> satisfactory agreements were made<br />
by <strong>and</strong> between the Board <strong>and</strong> the several state conventions. It required a year<br />
or more to perfect these agreements. In some cases the work of ministerial<br />
relief was carried on for a time through the state societies. In the main, however,<br />
the states entered promptly (after the Conventions had met) into full <strong>and</strong><br />
hearty cooperation with the general southwide Board. By the end of 1925,<br />
every state save one was in full cooperation with the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity<br />
Board, <strong>and</strong> that single state came into cooperation whole-heartedly in later<br />
years, <strong>and</strong> in doing so made the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board custodian, under<br />
a trustee agreement, of the funds formerly administered by the state society.<br />
The closest possible cooperation with those who had charge of these state<br />
funds was ever sought by the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board.<br />
As instructed by the Convention, the annuity department was to refrain<br />
from issuing membership certificates until a minimum of three <strong>hundred</strong> applications<br />
had been approved. This course was pursued <strong>and</strong> the first certificate<br />
was issued to Dr Allen Fort pastor of the First Baptist Church, Nashville,<br />
Tennessee, under date of July 1, 1919.<br />
During the period under review, there were issued to ministers <strong>and</strong> other<br />
eligible persons 1,445 certificates, <strong>and</strong> by May, 1925, the number of beneficiaries*<br />
including those who were adjudged totally <strong>and</strong> permanently disabled,<br />
was 31, <strong>and</strong> during that year the benefits amounted to $10,145.<br />
The Board in all of its work was yet in the period of beginnings.<br />
^ 5 ef i 0r f l 92 ^ that great <strong>and</strong> devoted friend of Baptist ministers, Mr. John<br />
D. Rockefeller, Sr., learning through Secretary Lunsford <strong>and</strong> Dr Georee W<br />
Truett, chairman of the executive committee, of the Board's need for financial<br />
undergoing, responded graciously to their appeal for his beneficent consideration.<br />
Mr. Rockefeller's several gifts to the Board before the end of 1925 amrregate<br />
Four Hundred Thous<strong>and</strong> Dollars A stock dividend was declared on certain<br />
stocks which had been given by Mr. Rockefeller to the Board This stork was<br />
valued by the Board at One Hundred Thous<strong>and</strong> Dollars.<br />
Later we shall see the munificent h<strong>and</strong> of Mr. Rockefeller again in the life<br />
<strong>and</strong> progress of the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board.
RELIEF AND ANNUITY BOARD 436<br />
By May, 1925, the assets of the Board had increased to $1,964,672.06, <strong>and</strong><br />
the aggregate of benefits already paid was $667,363.31. The results of the<br />
Seventy-Five Million Campaign, supplementing the munificence of Mr. Rockefeller,<br />
<strong>and</strong> the investment returns on the monies which came into the custody<br />
of the Board, made such an achievement possible <strong>and</strong> even explains it on the<br />
human side.<br />
The Board is evermore grateful for the generous hearts <strong>and</strong> helping h<strong>and</strong>s<br />
of both donors of funds <strong>and</strong> the investors of funds. For every contribution,<br />
either large or small, we thank God! For every hour of thoughtful labor on the<br />
part of our finance committee <strong>and</strong> of the larger executive committee, a purely<br />
gratuitous service, we also thank God!<br />
From the funds collected by the Southern Baptist Convention during the<br />
Seventy-Five Million Campaign, the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board received the total<br />
amount of $1,506,617.14. It seems needless to say that without the first gift<br />
of $100,000 by the Sunday School Board, the organization of the Relief <strong>and</strong><br />
Annuity Board would not have been effected in 1918. And but for the financial<br />
support which came through the early gifts of Mr. Rockefeller, <strong>and</strong> the large<br />
cash receipts which came through the Seventy-Five Million Campaign, the work<br />
of the Board, when started, would have been slow in becoming established.<br />
Surely, the coming into being of this Board <strong>and</strong> its steady <strong>and</strong> worthy progress<br />
has been according to His plan, <strong>and</strong> the record of its achievements up to 1925<br />
will for all time be HIS-STORY.<br />
Long before the close of the period 1918-1925, which we have called the<br />
period of beginnings, it had become evident to Secretary Lunsford <strong>and</strong> to the<br />
Boards actuary, George A. Huggins, as well as to the Board itself, that the<br />
annuity department required structural revamping. The Annuity Fund, as it<br />
was styled, was good, but it was quite inadequate. It was difficult to secure<br />
a large membership. Relatively few preachers took the Board seriously. Perhaps<br />
most of them had little faith in its future. And the Board itself knew that<br />
a much larger membership would add greatly to its financial problem.<br />
We would not be true to history if we failed here to recite the fact that the<br />
l^/v money originally allocated to the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board, namely<br />
$5,000,000 (due to the pressing needs of the mission boards <strong>and</strong> educational<br />
institutions) was reduced in 1919 to $2,500,000; <strong>and</strong> the $2,500,000 shrank to<br />
$1,500,000 when the Seventy-Five Million Campaign collection fell short by<br />
multi-millions of dollars. Arid, although it was provided by the convention in<br />
1920 that the additional $2,500,000 should be raised during the first two years<br />
following the close of the five year Seventy-Five Million Campaign, that promise<br />
was not fulfilled <strong>and</strong> was never possible of fulfilment because of the heavy<br />
debts which our several general boards <strong>and</strong> institutions contracted during that<br />
period.<br />
In its report to the Southern Baptist Convention in 1920, the executive committee<br />
said, "And it was specified that the remaining half of the $5,000,000<br />
which the Convention decided to raise for ministerial relief within seven years<br />
shall be raised at the end of the present five y£ar campaign <strong>and</strong> within the<br />
succeeding two years." (See 1920 minutes, S.B.C. page 112.) Again in the<br />
1920 minutes of the Southern Baptist Convention, page 113, certain actions are<br />
recorded in behalf of our three seminaries providing for advances to them by<br />
the mission boards <strong>and</strong> the education board, which advances were to be returned<br />
to the mission boards <strong>and</strong> the education board from funds collected for<br />
southwide objects beyond $75,000,000; <strong>and</strong> in case the requisite sum ($2,000,000)<br />
was not available under that arrangement, the advances by the three boards<br />
should be sufficiently guaranteed to them in any new plans for funds that the<br />
convention would project at the close of the five year period without prejudice<br />
to the needs of the three boards or to the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board owing to<br />
previous action of the convention.<br />
As has been shown, it was the avowed purpose of the convention to provide<br />
$5,000,000 for the two departments of the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board, one-half<br />
of which amount was to be made available to the Board's annuity department.<br />
Subsequent actions of the convention, looking to the funding of all of the<br />
obligations of the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board in connection with its annuity department<br />
(Old) Annuity Fund, will be reviewed in chapter three.

INCLUSIVE<br />
GREAT EXPANSION<br />
For several years the Board had been on the lookout for a suitable associ<br />
to Dr. Lunsford; one who would be able to carry a part of the burden of<br />
administration <strong>and</strong> promotion of the work in the office <strong>and</strong> on the field. On<br />
September 18, 1925, this responsible position was offered to Dr. Thomas J. Watts.<br />
formerly a pastor in Georgia <strong>and</strong> Kentucky, <strong>and</strong> for many years a denominational<br />
executive in South Carolina <strong>and</strong> Missouri. The tender of the position<br />
was, with much trepidation, accepted, <strong>and</strong> the associate secretary began his<br />
labors on November 1, 1925.<br />
The Board's able founder <strong>and</strong> first executive head, Dr. William Lunsford,<br />
after a year of serious illness, passed to his Heavenly reward on May 24, 1927.<br />
Dr. Lunsford was succeeded, even as he had desired, on June 5, 1927, bv<br />
Associate Secretary Dr. Thomas J. Watts, who has carried on to the present<br />
time. Thus has been demonstrated the truth of the oft quoted saying, "God<br />
buries the workman, but the work goes on."<br />
Reverting to the first Annuity Plan, now called the (Old) Annuity Fund,<br />
there was a further expansion during this period, (1) in its membership; (2) in<br />
the number of its beneficiaries, <strong>and</strong>, (3) in the reserves available for' paying<br />
benefits. This plan was closed to new members with the previous aoproval of<br />
the Southern Baptist Convention, on September 30, 1930. However the number<br />
of certificates issued since the close of the period of beginnings as of Mav 1925,<br />
was 490, thus bringing the total number of certificates issued to 1,935! ' Like^<br />
wise, there was a considerable increase in the number of beneficiaries during<br />
the period now under review, the number being 625. Furthermore, the financing<br />
of the plan required <strong>and</strong> received the most careful attention at the h<strong>and</strong>s of the<br />
Board During the period Le. on December 29, 1929, the munificent gift of<br />
Mr. John D. Rockefeller. Sr., of Five Hundred Thous<strong>and</strong> Dollars ($500 000)<br />
was added to the reserves of the (Old) Annuity Fund. At the same time in<br />
order to strengthen the relief department, the Board secured convention approval<br />
on its decision to place all Cooperative Program receipts not otherwise designated<br />
in the relief fund. Thus the erstwhile division of Cooperative Program<br />
funds between the relief fund <strong>and</strong> the annuity fund ceased. It was well understood<br />
by the Board, however, <strong>and</strong> positive statements were made in its report to<br />
the convention meeting in New Orleans in May, 1930, that further financing of<br />
the (Old) Annuity Fund would probably be necessarv, <strong>and</strong> this it was hoped<br />
could be successfully accomplished through the solicitation of bequests in wills<br />
by cash gifts secured, <strong>and</strong> by other gifts upon which life annuities would be<br />
contractually paid.
RELIEF AND ANNUITY BOARD 437<br />
In 1937, the actuary of the Board reported that the fund would require<br />
additional financing, the methods above mentioned having yielded only a very<br />
small sum of money. Upon the earnest <strong>and</strong> urgent appeal of the Board<br />
through Executive Secretary Watts <strong>and</strong> Vice President Collins, a committee was<br />
appointed by the executive committee of the Southern Baptist Convention to<br />
make a study of the needs of the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board <strong>and</strong> report its conclusions<br />
to its pre-convention session the following May. In the meantime, there<br />
were unexpected developments in connection with the refinancing of the convention<br />
indebtedness which enabled the executive committee to recommend to<br />
the convention that an additional allocation be made to the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity<br />
Board specifically for its (Old) Annuity Fund. This allocation was to be three<br />
<strong>and</strong> one-third per cent (3 1/3%) of distributable Cooperative Program Funds,<br />
the sum to be remitted regularly <strong>and</strong> continuously to the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity<br />
Board until the (Old) Annuity Fund was completely funded. This allocation<br />
has already brought to the reserves of the (Old) Annuity Fund a sizable sum<br />
each year.<br />
However, subsequent to the foregoing (1943), Actuary Huggins reported to<br />
the Board that the reserves of the (Old) Annuity Fund were being drawn upon<br />
very heavily <strong>and</strong> faster than they were being built up. The aggregate of these<br />
reserves at the close of 1943 was $2,537,251.51. Also, due primarily to the<br />
retirements <strong>and</strong> deaths, the number of paying members was steadily decreasing<br />
while the number of annuitants was being steadily increased. Hence, a further<br />
appeal was made to the executive committee with the view to securing an increased<br />
allocation from the Cooperative Program receipts by means of which<br />
this fund might be built up to the maximum of its requirements over an estimated<br />
period of years. A committee was appointed by the executive committee to<br />
come to Dallas <strong>and</strong> investigate, with the aid of the actuary <strong>and</strong> the officers of<br />
the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board, the matter of the Board's financial needs relating<br />
to the (Old) Annuity Fund. In the meantime, Actuary Huggins made<br />
a thoroughgoing actuarial study <strong>and</strong> brought to the committee, meeting in<br />
Dallas, a full report <strong>and</strong> tabulation showing just what the need was. A result<br />
of this conference with the actuary is a matter of record in the minutes of the<br />
executive committee of the convention <strong>and</strong> in the convention minutes for 1944.<br />
The report of the committee, with J. H. Buchanan, chairman, was as follows:<br />
"A full day was spent in conference with the following results:<br />
1. It was found that all funds of the Board are kept separate <strong>and</strong> sacred to the<br />
purpose for which they have been designated.<br />
2. It was found in addition to the funds available for servicing the (Old)<br />
Annuity Plan, there will be needed approximately one or the other following<br />
plans:<br />
(1) Total amount to be provided in the near future of $3,500,000. This<br />
$3,500,000 drawing interest would provide the amount needed.<br />
(2) If the necessary funds are provided as needed, year by year, the annual<br />
payments would begin in 1945 at $133,922.00. It would gradually<br />
increase, year by year until 1958 the amount for that year being $175,<br />
159.00. The payments would then decrease, yearly, until the year 1981<br />
when only $4,392.00 would be required. The total of annual payments<br />
would amount to $4,598,452.00<br />
"Your committee makes the following recommendations:<br />
1. That the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board provide one-half (y2) of the funds<br />
needed, year by year, to completely service the (Old) Annuity Plan. This<br />
the members of the Board present agreed to undertake, provided the Board<br />
would be permitted to transfer 2 per cent of the present 7 per cent going for<br />
relief to the service of the (Old) Annuity Plan. In other words, fix the<br />
allocation for relief at 5 per cent.<br />
2. That the Convention provide for the other one-half of the amount needed by<br />
increasing the allocation of funds to the Board, or by some other method.<br />
Your committee believes that an increase of 4 2/3 per cent to the present<br />
3 1/3 per cent going to the service of the (Old) Annuity Plan would<br />
provide sufficient funds to meet the Convention's part of the needed funds."<br />
The recommendations of the special committee as recited above were modified<br />
in the amended report of the executive committee, so that, instead of increasing<br />
the previous allocation by 4 2/3 % it was increased by 5%, <strong>and</strong> this<br />
5% was made a preferred item in the undesignated Cooperative Program funds.
438 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
Thus the Convention gave its favorable attention to the nescessities of the (Old)<br />
Annuity Fund in 1938 <strong>and</strong> in 1944, <strong>and</strong> thereby began in earnest to fulfil its<br />
earlier commitments to this phase of the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board's work.<br />
The Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board is contractually obligated to use 2% of distributable<br />
Cooperative Program funds toward the payment of its half of the sum<br />
necessary each year for the funding of the (Old) Annuity Plan, just as it underst<strong>and</strong>s<br />
that the convention is obligated to continue to provide the 8 1/3%<br />
for the same purpose. The 2% for the (Old) Annuity Fund taken from the 7%<br />
allocated for relief was approved by the convention, the same having been made<br />
available by action of the executive committee, making the same retroactive to<br />
January 1, 1944.<br />
THE INAUGURATION OF TEN NEW CONTRIBUTORY ANNUITY PLANS<br />
The first of the new contributory annuity plans to be started was the socalled<br />
"Service Annuity." This plan was approved by the convention in May,<br />
1930, <strong>and</strong> was inaugurated January 1, 1932. It was closed to new members<br />
January 1, 1938. The reserves in this plan of $30,147.28 are sufficient to.finance<br />
all payments to its present <strong>and</strong> future beneficiaries.<br />
Although known to be fundamentally correct <strong>and</strong> actuarially sound, the<br />
plan was never generally accepted by our preachers <strong>and</strong> churches. In fact, it<br />
was accepted by only a few. It was almost identical with a plan which was<br />
being operated with remarkable success by Presbyterians, North <strong>and</strong> South, by<br />
the Disciples, <strong>and</strong> by several other leading denominations. That there were<br />
features in the plan which were not as workable among Southern Baptists as<br />
they were with the groups above named is admitted. The plan was offered to<br />
our pastors <strong>and</strong> churches for several years. In its ab<strong>and</strong>onment the principles<br />
<strong>and</strong> all the workable provisions became integral parts of other plans which<br />
were launched. The Board has adhered strictly to the two lines of work<br />
marked out for it by the Southern Baptist Convention when it was called into<br />
being, viz., Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuities.<br />
The Foreign Mission Board Pension Plan. This plan for the pensioning<br />
of our foreign missionaries at age 65 or earlier on account of permanent <strong>and</strong><br />
total disability was inaugurated January 1, 1934. Every missionary of the<br />
Foreign Mission Board is a participating member. The dues of $2.50 per<br />
month of the missionaries are remitted to the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board by<br />
the Foreign Mission Board. The Foreign Mission Board contributes a like<br />
amount on account of each missionary. The guarantor of the plan is the<br />
Foreign Mission Board. The guarantor of the invested funds is the Relief<br />
<strong>and</strong> Annuity Board. The Foreign Mission Board supplements the regular<br />
monthly dues by such an amount as is computed to be necessary to meet the<br />
monthly pension payments made by the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board. Under<br />
this plan, a missionary upon retirement is assured a pension of S500 per year.<br />
A missionary couple receive together $1,000 per year.<br />
On January 1, 1936, the Institutional Employees Pension Plan for Orphanage<br />
staffs was inaugurated. This is a contributory group plan based on dues<br />
paid by the employees equivalent to 3% of the monthly salary <strong>and</strong> a like contribution<br />
by the orphanages. The minimum benefit is $500 per annum on<br />
25 years or more of service to employers, <strong>and</strong> the minimum dues is $2.50 per<br />
°« n « th nn The ma ^ mu ^, bene . fit * *H00 per annum <strong>and</strong> the maximum of dues<br />
us $6.00 Per month. There is a benefit available on account of permanent <strong>and</strong><br />
total disability, the maximum being $500 per year. All benefits are paid in<br />
monthly installments. *<br />
The Baptist Orphanage of North Carolina, Incorporated. (Thomasville <strong>and</strong><br />

with other orphanages The pooled orphanages are Buckner Orphans Home,<br />

RELIEF AND ANNUITY BOARD 439<br />
The Age Security Plan was inaugurated January 1, 1936. This plan was<br />
provided for pastors who desired to contribute dues equivalent to 3% of their<br />
monthly salaries, the same to be matched by a like amount from their churches.<br />
Lay workers were also eligible to provide age or disability annuities through<br />
this plan.<br />
The Age Security Plan was later revised (1940) <strong>and</strong> is now primarily<br />
operated for church employees who are not eligible to participate in the Ministers<br />
Retirement Plan, <strong>and</strong> for other denominational employees who do not<br />
participate in some other group plan. Membership in this plan is increasing,<br />
<strong>and</strong> churches are showing greater readiness to aid their lay workers by contributing<br />
3% of their salaries or wages. The plan is open to every lay employee<br />
who serves a church on a regular salary basis.<br />
The Baptist Boards Employees' Retirement Plan is a group plan consisting<br />
of employees of our state boards, managerial employees <strong>and</strong> staff workers of<br />
our colleges, seminaries, <strong>and</strong> hospitals, the Home Mission Board employees<br />
(including missionaries), the executive committee of the Southern Baptist<br />
Convention, Woman's Missionary Union, auxiliary to the Southern Baptist Convention<br />
<strong>and</strong> of all the states of the Southern Baptist Convention, the Baptist<br />
Brotherhood of the South, Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board of the Southern Baptist<br />
Convention, employees of Baptist papers, etc. The employees of 55 boards,<br />
agencies, <strong>and</strong> institutions are being served by this excellent plan.<br />
This plan is serving our ever increasing number of board <strong>and</strong> agency employees.<br />
The minimum benefit in the plan where twenty-five years of service<br />
have been rendered is $600 per annum for life upon retirement after 65, payable<br />
in monthly installments. The maximum benefit is $2,000 per annum payable<br />
in monthly installments. There is a very considerable turnover of members<br />
in this plan; <strong>and</strong> while the dues of members leaving denominational service<br />
are usually returned to the members with interest, the contributions of the<br />
employing board or agency remain in the pooled reserve. Should the pooled<br />
reserve of the contributing employing agencies be at any time exhausted,<br />
additional contributions are to be made on a pro rata basis by them. This is<br />
contractually provided for in the agreement entered into by <strong>and</strong> between the<br />
several cooperating agencies <strong>and</strong> the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board.<br />
The Institutional Employees Retirement Plan for colleges <strong>and</strong> seminaries<br />
was begun on July 1, 1937. It represents an effort on the part of the Relief<br />
<strong>and</strong> Annuity Board to provide retirement benefits for the professors in our<br />
denominationally owned educational institutions. The plan was developed after<br />
full conference discussion at Birmingham, Alabama, between the secretary <strong>and</strong><br />
the actuary of the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board <strong>and</strong>^ a considerable group of<br />
representative college heads <strong>and</strong> other interested persons. The plan has been<br />
adopted by <strong>nineteen</strong> of our colleges <strong>and</strong> seminaries.<br />
The Institutional Employees Retirement Plan is not a general group plan.<br />
The college heads in the Birmingham conference preferred an individual college<br />
group plan. However, the provisions of the plan are generous <strong>and</strong> the<br />
yield in benefits will prove highly satisfactory.<br />
Before discussing the rapid expansion of the work of the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity<br />
Board through its seventh <strong>and</strong> major contributory annuity plan, known<br />
as the Ministers Retirement Plan, attention is called to three individual plans<br />
which are serving a considerable number of ministers <strong>and</strong> other eligible persons<br />
in ways highly satisfactory to them. These are:<br />
Special Annuity—requiring lump sum premiums. This plan was started in<br />
1929. It is a completely funded plan. This form of certificate should meet<br />
the requirements of such ministers <strong>and</strong> denominational employees (lay) as<br />
desire to make lump sum payments of from $1,000 to $5,000 or more <strong>and</strong><br />
receive specified annuities beginning at once or at any deferred date.<br />
Special Deferred Annuity—inaugurated in 1935—requiring monthly, quarterly<br />
or semi-annual payment of premiums with earned annuities beginning<br />
at the end of any year, but preferably in old age. The plan has loan privileges,<br />
<strong>and</strong> cash surrender values. It provides for easy payments on the basis of<br />
one-half unit or $50 per annum, one unit or $100 per annum, or as many as<br />
five units, or $500 per annum. This plan is operated on a regular reserve<br />
basis. Some ministers <strong>and</strong> laymen already participating in the Ministers Retirementment<br />
appealing the Plan regular to young or annuities other men group <strong>and</strong> which plans women.<br />
they will are find to receive, this plan <strong>and</strong> a feasible it should way be to especially supple
440 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
Savings Annuity—inaugurated in 1930—is a plan designed to aid our<br />
ministers, missionaries, <strong>and</strong> other salaried denominational workers or their<br />
widows <strong>and</strong> minor orphans to conserve their savings, increase them by interest<br />
additions for use in later months or years, for hospitalization, for the education<br />
of children or for the purchase of life annuities.<br />
The seventh <strong>and</strong> last of the contributory group annuity plans to be inaugurated<br />
by the Board was the CONVENTION MINISTERS RETIREMENT<br />
PLAN. This is a state unit plan, but it is also, <strong>and</strong> preeminently, a Southern<br />
Baptist retirement system. It was inaugurated first in South Carolina on<br />
July 1, 1938, <strong>and</strong> between that year <strong>and</strong> 1942 the plan, with slight variations in<br />
three states, was inaugurated by all the other states of the Southern Baptist<br />
Convention <strong>and</strong> the District of Columbia.<br />
It is a state unit plan in the sense that it is sponsored, promoted, <strong>and</strong> financially<br />
fostered by each of the several states. The enlistment of pastors <strong>and</strong><br />
churches has been accomplished by means of the collaboration of state secretaries<br />
<strong>and</strong> their staffs with the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board, with the greatest<br />
emphasis on the state organization. The dues, with only one exception, are<br />
channeled to the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board through the state secretaries <strong>and</strong><br />
treasurers. The benefits by means of monthly checks to retired members on<br />
account of age or disability are channeled to these beneficiaries through the<br />
state offices.<br />
It is a Southern Baptist system in the sense that members of the plan may<br />
move from one state to another without the loss of retirement annuity credits,<br />
<strong>and</strong> the administration of the plan is by the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board which<br />
is in effect the fiscal agent of the several states. Furthermore, the Relief <strong>and</strong><br />
Annuity Board of the Southern Baptist Convention is one of the contracting<br />
parties <strong>and</strong> is legally liable to the state conventions or boards for the faithful<br />
administration of the reserves placed in its custody <strong>and</strong> for the faithful payments<br />
of all retirement benefits to individual certificate holders according to<br />
the terms of the certificate of participation, which is an agreement on the part<br />
of the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board issued under its Charter privileges by the<br />
State of Texas <strong>and</strong> by authority of the Southern Baptist Convention.<br />
The genius of the Convention Ministers Retirement Plan resides in the<br />
fact that it comm<strong>and</strong>s the whole-hearted approval of state conventions, state<br />
boards, <strong>and</strong> state leaders. This, in turn, has secured with great rapidity the<br />
active participation m the plan on the part of more than 12,000 Southern<br />
Baptist churches <strong>and</strong> their pastors.<br />
The Convention Ministers Retirement Plan differs in its method of operation<br />
from all other previous plans of the Board, yet it is essentially like all of them<br />
in its underlying principle. It is in reality the flowering of the original plan,<br />
namely, the (Old) Annuity Fund. It is a modification in method, but not in<br />
principle, of the Service Annuity <strong>and</strong> other contributory annuity plans which<br />
preceded it. The plan provides for contributions from three sources: first,<br />
from the ministers 3% of annual salaries—maximum $120; second, from the<br />
churches they serve 3% of annual salary—maximum $120; third, from the<br />
funds of the Convention, 2% of the total salaries of the participating members.<br />
The churches are remitting their monthly contributions with remarkable<br />
regularity. In fact, more money is paid by the churches into the plan than the<br />
preachers are sending in from year to year. Of course, these contributions<br />
should be exactly balanced as between preachers <strong>and</strong> churches.<br />
RENEWED EMPHASIS ON OUR RELIEF MINISTRY<br />
The amazing growth of the Ministers Retirement Plan, promising a new<br />
day for thous<strong>and</strong>s of our Southern Baptist preachers, has not led us to the<br />
conclusion that there is no longer a need for our relief department Such a<br />
conclusion would be not only erroneous, but greatly disastrous, for 'there are<br />
other thous<strong>and</strong>s who are today, or will become in after years dependent on<br />
the relief grants of this Board for even a modicum of comfort <strong>and</strong> ease.<br />
It was the desire to provide for the aged minister <strong>and</strong> the widow that moti- '<br />
vated the pioneers, who, prior to 1918, established relief agencies in the several<br />
states <strong>and</strong> amassed in the aggregate an endowment approximating $300 000<br />
It was that same motive that gave such feeling <strong>and</strong> force to Dr Lunsford'^<br />
message before the Pastor's Conference in Nashville in the fall of 191 fi And
RELIEF AND ANNUITY BOARD 441<br />
in the period of beginnings, 1918 to 1925, whereas only $10,000 was paid out<br />
in annuities, over $620,000 was* distributed in relief grants.<br />
More <strong>and</strong> more, through our annuity plans, made possible by increased<br />
salaries <strong>and</strong> denominational cooperation, our preachers of today are making<br />
secure their years of retirement; but what of those already retired through<br />
the infirmities of age, what of other thous<strong>and</strong>s still so poorly paid that they<br />
are unable to help in providing for themselves future security together with<br />
present peace of mind?<br />
There is now, <strong>and</strong> there shall continue to be, need for a strong relief department<br />
for many, many years. Indeed, the challenge of this hour is the<br />
need for greatly increased grants for our approximately 1300 beneficiaries<br />
now on the relief rolls of the several .states.<br />
Though we now have a relief budget of approximately $180,000, a figure<br />
that will be increased as the income warrants increase, we might ask with<br />
Andrew, "What are they among so many?" A pitiful average of eight dollars<br />
per month for widows <strong>and</strong> twelve dollars for aged ministers!<br />
Our funds for this needful work come to the Board from four main sources:<br />
(1) earned income of relief reserves; (2) Cooperative Program receipts;<br />
(3) fellowship offerings from the churches, together with special gifts <strong>and</strong><br />
legacies; <strong>and</strong>, (4) the Texas W.M.U. day of prayer. For over fourteen years<br />
the women of Texas have been observing a special day of prayer once a year<br />
with an offering to be used for relief work within the borders of that state.<br />
This offering, increasing year by year, is now more than $22,000 per annum.<br />
For some years now in the Southern Baptist Convention Calendar of Activities,<br />
provision has been made for a consideration by all the churches of the work<br />
<strong>and</strong> needs of the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board, <strong>and</strong> provision has been made for<br />
special offerings in all the churches during the month of April for ministerial<br />
relief. The Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board has not realized a large sum from this<br />
special emphasis in the month of April. In chapter four special emphasis is<br />
placed upon this special day in the churches for the present year, 1946; <strong>and</strong><br />
the results'of this emphasis, while unknown to the Board at this time, promises<br />
to be much greater than in- any previous year.<br />
THE BOARD'S STEADY FINANCIAL GROWTH<br />
As has already been shown in chapter two, that the financial progress of<br />
the Board from 1918 until the end of the fiscal year April 30, 1925, was very<br />
encouraging. The assets had grown from $106,428.53, at the end of the first<br />
year to $1,964,672.06 by May, 1925. During the period now under review,<br />
1925-1944, the growth was much more rapid. At the close of 1944 the Board's<br />
reserves aggregated $7,907,136.76. In chapters four <strong>and</strong> five greatly increased<br />
assets are recorded.<br />
FUNDING AND TRUSTEEING GIFT ANNUITY CONTRACTS<br />
This type of service was entered upon in 1934 by the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity<br />
Board in pursuance of instructions given by the Southern Baptist Convention<br />
in 1933 to the effect that all boards, agencies, <strong>and</strong> institutions of the convention<br />
should refrain from making annuity contracts unless <strong>and</strong> until they have<br />
made arrangements with the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board to fund <strong>and</strong> trustee<br />
them. The instructions of the convention are on record in the annual minutes<br />
of 1933 <strong>and</strong> are contained in the report of a special committee of the executive<br />
committee <strong>and</strong> presented to <strong>and</strong> adopted by the latter:<br />
"The writing of Annuity Contracts by our agencies is a matter of great<br />
importance. In many instances these annuity contracts have proved liabilities<br />
rather than assets.<br />
"We are assured by a competent actuary that it requires at least 200<br />
of these contracts before the law of average begins to operate.<br />
"We regard the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board the only one of our agencies<br />
that deals specifically with such fiduciary matters.<br />
"We recommend that the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board prepare a plan by<br />
which it will act as trustee for the Annuity Contracts of all of our agencies,<br />
<strong>and</strong> that the plan be submitted to these agencies for their consideration,<br />
<strong>and</strong> that report be made to the Convention as to the progress in the consummation<br />
of such a plan."
442 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
In May, 1938, a new table of rates was presented to the convention which<br />
were lower than those adopted in 1934, <strong>and</strong> this was made necessary because<br />
of reduction in interest earnings on all invested funds everywhere.<br />
In pursuance of the convention's instructions, agreements were signed by<br />
<strong>and</strong> between the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board <strong>and</strong> the Foreign Mission Board, the<br />
Home Mission Board, the executive committee of the Convention, the Baptist<br />
Bible Institute, the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, the Southwestern<br />
Baptist Theological Seminary, <strong>and</strong> the Southern Baptist Hospital. Gift annuity<br />
agreements representing in the aggregate gifts of approximately $1,000,000<br />
received by the Foreign Mission Board, the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board, the<br />
Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, <strong>and</strong> the Home Mission Board<br />
have been funded under the above mentioned trustee agreements. The amounts<br />
actuarially computed to be necessary to fund each gift annuity agreement is<br />
forwarded by the contracting board to the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board, while<br />
the sum not required for the funding is released for immediate or future use<br />
by the contracting agency. Thus Southern Baptists, through their several<br />
boards, agencies, <strong>and</strong> institutions, have arranged for the acceptance of gifts,<br />
both large <strong>and</strong> small, on a contract life annuity basis, which is scientifically <strong>and</strong><br />
financially sound <strong>and</strong> safe both for the agencies <strong>and</strong> for the donors.<br />
The reserves now in the custody of the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board protecting<br />
nearly 300 contracts aggregate $340,625.39. A goodly number of our<br />
Southern Baptist people have availed themselves of a method whereby thev<br />
could "give while they live <strong>and</strong> live on that which they give."<br />
THE BAPTIST BUILDING<br />
In the spring of 1940 the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board found it expedient to<br />
look about for larger quarters for its rapidly enlarging work. The thought<br />
which soon possessed the Board was that there should be a Baptist owned headquarters<br />
building, located, if possible, in the heart of the city of Dallas, in<br />
which structure could be housed the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board, the Baptist<br />
General Convention Executive Board with its several important departments,<br />
viz., Sunday School, Baptist Training Union, Baptist Student Union, Woman's<br />
Missionary Union, Baptist Brotherhood, <strong>and</strong> the Endowment Department. In<br />
addition to these, space would be provided for the Baptist St<strong>and</strong>ard the Baptist<br />
Foundation of Texas, <strong>and</strong> the Baptist Book Store. A fairly commodious<br />
chapel would be needed seating some 250 people so that all board meetings,<br />
pastors' conferences, <strong>and</strong> other important groups could be accommodated from<br />
time to time. The Baptist Book Store would also be able to use this chapel<br />
for book reviews.<br />
After the most careful search for the best available location, <strong>and</strong> neces<br />
considering the whole matter from the angle of interest producing investment<br />
of funds rather than their expenditure, the Board was we believe providentially<br />
led to purchase property on the corner of Ervay Street <strong>and</strong> Pacific Avenue<br />
on which there already stood a valuable structure which could be transformed<br />
into the type of building which was needed. The property was bought for<br />
$80,000 cash. A contract was let under architectural supervision for the renewal<br />
of the already substantial structure. The building <strong>and</strong> lot as it was on<br />
the day of its dedication represented a monetary investment of $195 051 50,<br />
from which the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board receives on the basis of ten-year<br />
leases an annual rental income of over $21,000, which gives to the Board a net<br />
return of 3.05% on the investment plus a substantial depreciation reserve.<br />
The property today is known to be worth over twice as much as the Board<br />
has invested in it.<br />
However, the Baptist Building represents much more than an investment<br />
of funds, important as that is. It is a spiritual investment which is already<br />
making <strong>and</strong> will continue to make great returns in increased denominational<br />
zeal, solidarity <strong>and</strong> prestige.<br />
The Baptist Building was dedicated on July 16, 1941, there being present<br />
a great company of denominational leaders from all boards <strong>and</strong> agencies of the<br />
Southern Baptist Convention. Dr. J. M. Dawson, pastor of the Frst Baptist<br />
Church of Waco, Texas, in an article which appeared in the Watchman-Examiner,<br />
August 21, 1941, under the title, "A Southern Baptist Achievement"<br />
bad the following to say about the dedication:
RELIEF AND ANNUITY BOARD 443<br />
' The dedication was signalized by a very impressive program. Dr. Watts<br />
presided; invocation was by Dr. Rufus W. Weaver, of Washington, D. C; song<br />
service was conducted by Robert H. Coleman, of Dallas; Scripture reading by<br />
State Secretary Charles A. Jones, of South Carolina, who is vice president of<br />
the Southern Convention; prayer by Mrs. B. A. Copass, president of Texas<br />
Baptist women's work; presentation of the building by Dr. Wallace Bassett,<br />
pastor of Cliff Temple, Dallas; acceptance by Dr. E. D, Solomon, editor, Florida<br />
Baptist Witness, also vice president of the Southern Convention; dedicatory address<br />
by Dr. George W. Truett; <strong>and</strong> prayer of dedication by Dr. R. E. Humphreys,<br />
state member from Kentucky. This was followed by a large banquet<br />
tendered by Secretary Watts as host, at which brief talks were made by State<br />
Secretary Andrew Potter, of Oklahoma; State Secretary James W. Merritt, of<br />
Georgia; Editor R. E. Alley, of the Religious Herald, Richmond, Va.; Dr. J. E.<br />
Dillard, Southern Baptist Director of promotion; <strong>and</strong> Lawson H. Cook, general<br />
secretary of the Baptist Brotherhood of the South. The day was concluded<br />
with a joyous 'open house.' "<br />
Many letters <strong>and</strong> telegrams were received from leaders who could not be<br />
present, <strong>and</strong> we regret that space forbids reproducing them, but for Southern<br />
Baptists the dedication of the Baptist Building was an historic occasion. It<br />
is now the purpose of the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board to add three more stories<br />
to the present three-story building, <strong>and</strong> plans <strong>and</strong> specifications are already in.<br />
the making for this extensive addition which the Board hopes to bring to completion<br />
in the very near future. Of course, the reader will underst<strong>and</strong> that<br />
the Board does not spend money in these improvements, rather it invests it,<br />
<strong>and</strong> from this investment will be derived a satisfactory income through long<br />
years ahead.<br />
On November 1, 1942, Dr. Walter R. Alex<strong>and</strong>er became associate secretary<br />
of the Board, he having come from a very important pastorate, the First Baptist<br />
Church of Florence, South Carolina, which he had served for fourteen<br />
consecutive years. Other pastorates were First Church, Rock Hill, South Carolina;<br />
First Church, Winchester, Virginia; First Church, Stamford, Texas; <strong>and</strong><br />
a brief pastorate in Philadelphia. Dr. Alex<strong>and</strong>er was for some years connected<br />
with one of the largest banks in Philadelphia, this being prior to his entering<br />
the ministry. He was educated at Temple University, Philadelphia, <strong>and</strong><br />
graduated from Crozer Theological Seminary, Chester, Pennsylvania. When<br />
he came to this Board he was considered among the first leaders of South Carolina<br />
Baptists <strong>and</strong> was president of the Federated Forces for Temperance <strong>and</strong><br />
Law Enforcement of that state, as well as pastor of the church at Florence.<br />
Dr. Alex<strong>and</strong>er has assisted the executive secretary in the work of administration<br />
<strong>and</strong> of promotion on the field. To him was committed the administration<br />
of the relief department <strong>and</strong> the work of publicity <strong>and</strong> promotion. He is<br />
editor of the Board's quarterly paper, styled The Voice of Security, which paper<br />
is widely disseminated throughout the Southern Baptist Convention through<br />
the mails. Some fifteen thous<strong>and</strong> copies are mailed every quarter in the year.<br />
His assistance to the general secretary in many other ways has been very valuable.<br />
SILVER ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATED<br />
On March 24, 1943, in connection with the annual meeting of the Relief <strong>and</strong><br />
Annuity Board in Dallas, there was a worthy observance of the silver anniversary<br />
of its founding. The meeting was presided over by Dr. L. R. Scarborough,<br />
president, <strong>and</strong> Mr. Carr P. Collins, vice president. Addresses were<br />
made by Dr. _ George W. Truett, chairman of the executive committee of the<br />
Board. Other addresses were made by Mr. Clarence K. Bowie, state member<br />
from Maryl<strong>and</strong>; Dr. Andrew Potter, president of the state secretaries' association<br />
<strong>and</strong> secretary of the Oklahoma convention; Dr. Walter R. Alex<strong>and</strong>er, associate<br />
executive secretary of the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board; <strong>and</strong> Mr. George<br />
A. Huggins, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, our actuary. Other addresses were<br />
delivered by Dr. T. L. Holcomb, executive secretary of the Sunday School<br />
Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, Nashville, Tennessee; <strong>and</strong> by Dr.<br />
Charles W. Daniel, president of the executive committee of the Southern Bap*tist<br />
Convention <strong>and</strong> pastor of the First Baptist Church of Eldorada, Arkansas.<br />
The occasion was magnified by the local press in a remarkably fine way. The<br />
following Morgan, Carolina. secretary telegram This telegram of was the received was Southern sent by at the Baptist a executive time Assembly when secretary congratulatory at Ridgecrest, from Mr. messages<br />

were forbidden, <strong>and</strong> it is given here because of the ingenuity of the writer as<br />
well as the fine interest which he expressed in the work of the Board.<br />
"For maintaining the nations welfare <strong>and</strong> strengthening the spiritual forces<br />
of the country your institution is indispensable. With you Ridgecrest marches<br />
patriotically <strong>and</strong> scripturally for victory <strong>and</strong> freedom, earths best hope for all,<br />
<strong>and</strong> especially freedom from want <strong>and</strong> slavery for aged people during the<br />
next twenty five years <strong>and</strong> evermore."<br />
In December, 1943, the Board elected another associate secretary in the<br />
person of Dr. Robert S. Jones, formerly a missionary of the Foreign Mission<br />
Board in Brazil <strong>and</strong> later home secretary <strong>and</strong> field secretary of the Foreign<br />
Mission Board of the convention. The specific task committed to Dr. Jones<br />
was that of securing capital funds for the work of the Board in its several<br />
departments either as direct gifts or through gift annuity contracts or through<br />
bequests in wills. Dr. Jones has assisted in the general work of the Board<br />
whenever <strong>and</strong> wherever opportunity <strong>and</strong> need call for such service. His long<br />
experience in the mission work of Southern Baptists <strong>and</strong> his wide acquaintances<br />
throughout the bounds of the convention have constituted a real asset to the<br />
Board. The results of labors such as Dr. Jones performs are not to be seen<br />
immediately in a large way, although tangible results have been already secured;<br />
<strong>and</strong> in the months <strong>and</strong> years that lie ahead these results are expected to<br />
multiply <strong>and</strong> greatly enlarge.<br />

CHAPTER IV. THE CURRENT VIEW<br />
FOR THE YEAR 1945 AND FIRST QUARTER 1946<br />
Since the last session of the convention in Atlanta, Georgia, the Relief<br />
<strong>and</strong> Annuity Board has suffered the loss of four of its most valued '<strong>and</strong> beloved<br />
members. These were Dr. George W. Truett, member of the Board since 1918<br />
to the day of his death <strong>and</strong> chairman of its executive committee 25 consecutive<br />
years; Dr. L. R. Scarborough, for 27 years a member of the Board <strong>and</strong> for<br />
three years, 1941-1944, its president; Brother Robert H. Coleman, member of<br />
the Board since 1918, <strong>and</strong> for the same number of years its one <strong>and</strong> only<br />
recording secretary. Drs. Truett, Scarborough, <strong>and</strong> Brother Coleman were<br />
charter members of the Board. The fourth member called to the heavenly<br />
home was Mr. Clarence K. Bowie, Maryl<strong>and</strong> member of the Board since 1942.<br />
Resolutions expressing the Board's high esteem <strong>and</strong> love for these brethren<br />
"lost awhile" to us were unanimously adopted by the Board <strong>and</strong> ordered inscribed<br />
on pages of its minute book. Dr. Truett's death occurred July 7 1944;<br />
Dr. Scarborough passed away April 9, 1945; Brother Bowie answered the summons<br />
January 13, 1946; <strong>and</strong> Brother Coleman was called to rest February 12<br />
1946.
RELIEF AND ANNUITY BOARD 445<br />
Farewell, Brethren Truett, Scarborough, Bowie, <strong>and</strong> Coleman, but not forever!<br />
Faithful witnesses each; <strong>and</strong>, upon you preachers <strong>and</strong> laymen alike, who<br />
have served in your God appointed spheres, it is fitting to pronounce the prophet's<br />
encomium, "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that<br />
bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of<br />
good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, thy God reigneth!" Isaiah<br />
52:7.<br />
The Board has experienced a highly satisfactory year in its work in all its<br />
phases, although we are not without problems yet to be solved. We feel that<br />
we have new eras in our brains <strong>and</strong> hearts with reference to this sublimely<br />
glorious task committed to us by the Southern Baptist Convention <strong>and</strong> the cooperating<br />
Baptist churches of our Southl<strong>and</strong>. We are minded to take a text<br />
from which to draw suggestions of some very vital matters to be discussed.<br />
The passage is in Isaiah 54:2, <strong>and</strong> the reading is as follows: "Enlarge the place<br />
of thy tent, <strong>and</strong> let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare<br />
not, lengthen thy cords, <strong>and</strong> strengthen thy stakes." In the chapters surrounding<br />
this classic passage, the great prophet dealt with the amplitude of the<br />
divine plan of the ages for the salvation of both Jews <strong>and</strong> Gentiles. There is<br />
room, according to Isaiah, in God's plan of salvation for all men, <strong>and</strong> that<br />
plan is all sufficient for all believers. Thus, he envisioned a tremendous, yea an<br />
infinitude, of provision by Almighty God for the redemption of the race. Well,<br />
you may ask what has that to do with the work of the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity<br />
Board. Much in every way. When the Southern Baptist Convention appointed<br />
this Board <strong>and</strong> gave it its marching orders, it sent it on a truly major mission.<br />
It set before it a mighty task; a task which comprehended the eventual coverage<br />
for old age security of every denominational servant whether pastor or janitor,<br />
whether teacher or executive, whether orderly or administrator, whether house<br />
mother or superintendent, whether missionary, state, home, or foreign, whether<br />
southwide or state worker, whether ordained or unordained persons. All were<br />
embraced in its charter authorization, <strong>and</strong> the work was to be accomplished<br />
under the aegis of the Convention <strong>and</strong> its vast number of cooperating churches.<br />
Did the first Board, appointed by the Convention, <strong>and</strong> its Executive Secretary<br />
underst<strong>and</strong> that its work was to reach to the farthest limits of the Southern<br />
Baptist Convention; that it was to function benignantly in all the spheres of<br />
the Convention's operations? I answer yes, <strong>and</strong> the proof of this is to be found<br />
in its charter, in which there is comprehended every salaried employee of every<br />
church, of every institution, of every board <strong>and</strong> every agency of the Convention.<br />
Even as early as 1920 we find the Board recommending to the Convention<br />
that the churches make contributions to the annuity department of a<br />
sum equal to 6% of the pastor's salary, <strong>and</strong> that this be made a regular budget<br />
item of the churches. In this same report the Board recommended the inclusion<br />
in its then infantile annuity plan, in addition to ministers, all the teachers <strong>and</strong><br />
workers in denominational colleges <strong>and</strong> seminaries, all field workers <strong>and</strong> secretaries<br />
giving all their time to denominational work, including all missionaries of<br />
the Foreign, Home, <strong>and</strong> state boards. This was in accordance with the provisions<br />
of the Board's Charter as set forth in article 2 which reads as follows: "This<br />
Association is formed as a purely public benevolent association, its purpose<br />
being to provide relief, support, benefits <strong>and</strong> annuities for ministers of the<br />
gospel of Baptist Churches within the bounds of the Southern Baptist Convention,<br />
<strong>and</strong> for their widows <strong>and</strong> orphans <strong>and</strong> in like manner for missionaires of<br />
such Baptist Churches <strong>and</strong> for such laymen <strong>and</strong> laywomen members of said<br />
denomination as shall be giving all of their time to the work of such Baptist<br />
churches as teachers, field workers, or secretaries."<br />
Let it be remembered that the first request made by the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity<br />
Board of the Southern Baptist Convention for financial support was for $5,000,-<br />
000.- Now, that was a large sum of money to ask for at that particular time.<br />
Our people had not begun to think in astronomical terms in regard to denominational<br />
financing. Now, millions do not seem to be so great a sum in view of<br />
the multi-billions we have become accustomed to hear about in the governmental<br />
economy. The projected Seventy-Five Million Campaign soon raised the sights<br />
of our people, <strong>and</strong> in the report of the Board to the Convention in 1922, Secretary<br />
Lunsford declared, "Our objective is not large enough. We must make it<br />
$10,000,000. from "Getting needs five of hold our to <strong>six</strong> of Nothing Board." a <strong>hundred</strong> big thing. less Again, thous<strong>and</strong> than To we an get find endowment dollars hold in of that a year thing yielding same will that report an adequately is big annual this enough expression,<br />
income meet to get<br />
the of
446 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
hold of us is magnificent." We are here merely trying to prove our thesis that<br />
the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board was always intended to have the quality of amplitude;<br />
i.e, it was to be made sufficient to cope worthily with its God-given task.<br />
The Board was based on a concept that was big enough to be honoring to Almighty<br />
God <strong>and</strong> to be worthy of the great denomination which begat it. But,<br />
coming back to Isaiah 54:2, our first point concerns the matter of making the<br />
work of the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board to answer to the tremendous need for<br />
which it was created in 1918.<br />
I. LENGTHENING OUR CORDS<br />
In 1918, when the Board was organized, two lines of work were specificall<br />
committed to it. Almost immediately the relief department was set agoing.<br />
The other was the annuity department, which was authorized to be set agoing<br />
when a sufficient number of participating members had been secured. These<br />
are the two general lines under which the Board has operated for these 28<br />
years. The relief department holds a brief for the aged preachers <strong>and</strong> widows<br />
of preachers of our Southern Baptist Zion. It has pleaded their cause <strong>and</strong><br />
claims, without ceasing. This it will continue to do so long as there are the<br />
needy aged to be served. The relief department has brought cheer <strong>and</strong> comfort<br />
to many thous<strong>and</strong>s of aged preachers <strong>and</strong> their widows, <strong>and</strong> not until the<br />
Board has been able to make really substantial contributions to the support of<br />
all who st<strong>and</strong> in need of this aid from the denomination should we fail to seek<br />
the lengthening of our cords to accomplish such end. Our effort should be to<br />
make our service reach the last preacher <strong>and</strong> the last widow who needs this<br />
ministry.<br />
The Annuity Fund, referred to as the (Old) Annuity Fund, began in 1919<br />
<strong>and</strong> was closed to new members in 1930.<br />
Thus far we have referred to two plans only, the relief plan <strong>and</strong> the (Old)<br />
Annuity Plan, while there have been to this date twelve annuity plans inaugurated<br />
by our Board. Two of these plans, although closed to new members,<br />
are still active as benefit paying funds. We refer to the (Old) Annuity Fund<br />
<strong>and</strong> the Service Annuity Plan. Since 1918, the (Old) Annuity Fund has paid<br />
in benefits over $3,000,000. During the next 75 years, according to the Actuary<br />
s computation, from this fund will be paid approximately $10,000,000 more<br />
to ministers <strong>and</strong> widows <strong>and</strong> orphans. Under another heading we shall have<br />
something to say about the financial provision which is being made for the<br />
meeting of this great monetary outlay. Now, during the same number of years.<br />
the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board will probably pay to the members of the other<br />
ten annuity plans now actively operating as much as $250,000,000. On the<br />
assumption that most or all of our preachers <strong>and</strong> other workers are coming<br />
into one or another of these plans <strong>and</strong> participate therein until they retire on<br />
account of age or disability, the amount that will be paid may be even larger<br />
than $250 000,000. If this figure should seem fantastic, I would remind you<br />
that Southern baptists have increased in church membership during the last<br />
26 years from 2,961,348 m 1919 to 5,667,926 in 1944. We are a growing de-<br />
SoSel<br />
num *> er of churches <strong>and</strong> preachers have increased propor-<br />
The Widows Supplemental Annuity Plan was inaugurated in 1945 in South<br />
Carolina, <strong>and</strong> a like plan has been approved by all the other conventions, save<br />
one. It is expected to be inaugurated in practically all the states as of July 1<br />
1946. This plan provides protection for widows of members of the Ministers<br />
Retirement Plan whose husb<strong>and</strong>s die before retiring under the Ministers Plan<br />
Upon retirement, these members may, by exercising an option, provide for a<br />
substantial annuity for surviving wives. Certificates issued, 283 (South Caro<br />
lina). See Exhibit F.<br />
The number of members participating in our several active plans including<br />
the (Old) Annuity Plan, is nearly 13,000 as of March 31, 1946 There wer!<br />
approximately 1700 annuitants, making a gr<strong>and</strong> total membership of over 14 -<br />
000. The dues paid m 1945 by the active members of all annuity plans together<br />
with contractual contributions from the over 12,000 churches boards,<br />
<strong>and</strong> agencies, state <strong>and</strong> southern, aggregate $2,044,131.35. The benefits naid in<br />
1945 aggregate nearly $700,000. This, with 1200 relief beneficiaries increases<br />
the total of benefits paid in 1945 to $862,272.41. lencianes, increases<br />
Have tion means our cords whether been or sufficiently not we have plans lengthened? enough The at present answer to'embrace is yes if all<br />
the auc<br />

RELIEF AND ANNUITY BOARD 447<br />
denominationally employed persons. No additional plans are now contemplated.<br />
For illustration, we are calling your attention to the boards, agencies, <strong>and</strong> institutions<br />
now being served by our several plans <strong>and</strong> the several groups within<br />
these institutions <strong>and</strong> agencies that are participating. We are serving 7 general<br />
boards <strong>and</strong> agencies of the Southern Baptist Convention (all Southern agencies<br />
save one); 20 state conventions; 20 state boards <strong>and</strong> their S.S., B.T.U., B.S.U.,<br />
Brotherhood <strong>and</strong> evangelistic staffs; 20 state W.M.U. staffs; 6 Baptist Book<br />
Stores; 20 colleges <strong>and</strong> seminaries; 16 orphanages; 20 denominational papers;<br />
one old folks' home; one Foreign Board publishing house; 4 Baptist Foundations;<br />
6 hospitals; <strong>and</strong> the pastors <strong>and</strong> many other workers of over 12,000<br />
churches.<br />
The answer is no if it is meant to inquire whether or not our cords have<br />
been lengthened to the nth degree in the matter of enlistment of members.<br />
There are literally thous<strong>and</strong>s of denominationally employed workers, <strong>and</strong> this<br />
includes several thous<strong>and</strong> pastors, who are not participating in any one of our<br />
plans.<br />
Amplitude is a word which challenges us to heroic endeavor in bringing into<br />
these plans the multitude of our preachers <strong>and</strong> other workers who have not<br />
been enlisted. Surely, our proffered plans should rapidly become the accepted<br />
means whereby employed denominational workers would have the sheltering<br />
care of our commodious Southern Baptist House of Protection. More <strong>and</strong> more<br />
this result is being realized. From January 1, 1945, to March 15, 1946, over<br />
2,200 new members have been secured. Since 1919, 16,600 members have been<br />
enrolled.<br />
Now, for the record, we will say that all of our eleven new annuity plans<br />
were set up within the framework of the Board's charter, <strong>and</strong> with the approval<br />
of the Southern Baptist Convention. Each of these plans were <strong>and</strong> are well<br />
within the original'concept of the Convention when it launched the Board. Each<br />
of these newer plans may properly be said to stem from the (Old) Annuity<br />
Plan, which had the full approval of the Convention in 1919, <strong>and</strong> its pledge of<br />
ample financing in 1920. Even more emphatically, perhaps, these later plans<br />
have stemmed from the Service Annuity Plan, which had full Convention ap^<br />
proval in May, 1930.<br />
It is significant that the Southern Baptist Convention, on the advice of the<br />
Executive Committee, considered that its eleemosynary <strong>and</strong> educational work<br />
were not clearly authorized under the charter granted by the State of Georgia<br />
in December, 1845, hence in 1943 there was secured, through special legislative<br />
enactment, an enabling act which became in reality a pant of the Convention's<br />
original charter for eleemosynary <strong>and</strong> religious corporations, which act clearly<br />
authorized the Convention to carry on its eleemosynary <strong>and</strong> educational activities.<br />
The enabling act, as it affects the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board, reads as<br />
follows: "To conduct <strong>and</strong> carry into effect any plan for the care, maintenance<br />
<strong>and</strong> support of its workers <strong>and</strong> employees who may have become disabled, been<br />
retired, or otherwise made eligible for the benefits of said plan, <strong>and</strong> in connection<br />
therewith to conduct a plan for the establishment <strong>and</strong> payment of<br />
annuities in connection therewith." The Convention, by the specifications written<br />
into its own charter, again put its seal of approval upon the varied activities<br />
of its Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board in all the departments of its work.<br />
The charter of the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board did not <strong>and</strong> does not require<br />
revision. This was fully proved by our Attorney, Mr. Knox W. Sherrill, to the<br />
complete satisfaction of a special committee of the Convention's Executive<br />
Committee whose members came to Dallas several years ago for purpose of<br />
inquiry regarding the scope of work authorized by the Board's charter.<br />
II. STRENGTHENING OUR STAKES<br />
But back to our text in Isaiah 54:2, "Strengthen thy stakes." Here is indicated<br />
a sound economic method of executing the work of the Kingdom of God.<br />
It also suggests a sound economy for the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board.<br />
Since we have attained, for these times at least, amplitude in the development<br />
of plans suited to all groups <strong>and</strong> individuals among Southern Baptist<br />
employees, <strong>and</strong>, more particularly, since we have attained this quality to the<br />
large degree in the memberships which has been indicated in this discussion, it<br />
inevitably follows as a sine qua non that we speedily attain the same quality<br />
in large our group financial of status. recipients The necessitates payment of proportionate annuities over financial the life-time strength. of a very Our
448<br />
SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
annuity obligations require steady, unremitting, <strong>and</strong> successful efforts toward<br />
the building up of supporting reserves. Yes, we must attain sufficiency here.<br />
For every dollar of contractual annuities, there should be twelve or more dollars<br />
of dependable reserves. Have we stressed this necessity sufficiently? Perhaps<br />
not enough. Certainly not too much. It is dangerous to.lengthen our<br />
cords without a corresponding strengthening of our stakes.<br />
That we have succeeded thus far measurably well, I think will be granted.<br />
But we must not, we dare not, flag in our future efforts.<br />
In 1919, our reserves were $106,428.53; in 1925, the reserves had become<br />
$1,964,672.06; in 1930, they were $3,698,554.74; in 1935, they were $4,326,-<br />
491.05; in 1940, they stood at $5,149,663.24. At the end of 1945, the figure<br />
was $9,447,713.88. At this time, March 27, 1946, they are approximately<br />
$9,800,000.00. By May 14, when the Convention meets in Miami, we shall<br />
have passed the ten million mark. Within ten years, our accumulated reserves<br />
should be over $25,000,000; <strong>and</strong>, within fifteen years, they should reach, or go<br />
beyond, $30,000,000.<br />
Just how are these needed reserves to be had? The answer is ready to h<strong>and</strong><br />
First of all, the greater part of the needed reserves for the (Old) Annuity<br />
Fund must come from the distributable funds of the Convention. This will<br />
amount first <strong>and</strong> last to several million dollars, for, as we have pointed out, the<br />
sum of ten millions is yet to be paid to the beneficiaries of the fund by the<br />
year 2017. By a contractual arrangement with the Southern Baptist Convention,<br />
10 1/3% of Cooperative Program funds is being regularly remitted to us<br />
month by month by the Executive Committee of the Convention for the express<br />
<strong>and</strong> exclusive purpose of building up the reserves of the (Old) Annuity Fund.<br />
This percentage yielded to us, during 1945, the sum of $382,469.68. (Special<br />
gifts amounting to $20,363.31 also went to this fund.) This allocation is not<br />
subject to change until the (Old) Annuity Plan is completely funded. The<br />
Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board is obligated to seek special gifts to be applied to an<br />
agreed-upon portion of the required funds in accordance with the Actuary's<br />
table of the monetary requirements; it being agreed that 2% of the distributable<br />
funds of the Cooperative Program, which formerly went to the relief department,<br />
should be used to provide the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board's accepted part<br />
in the funding arrangement. (See minutes of Convention 1944, pages 49, 50,<br />
<strong>and</strong> 56.)<br />
Thus, the (Old) Annuity Plan was underwritten by the Convention, <strong>and</strong> it i<br />
expected that sufficient funds will be received from month to month to fully<br />
care for all future payments to its beneficiaries.<br />
In the long years ahead, in the very nature of the case, due to the poten<br />
liabilities which we have already assumed, <strong>and</strong> shall assume under our many<br />
contract forms, the reserves should grow far beyond $30,000,000. Certainly,<br />
the Board's reserves should grow in proportion to the liabilities.<br />
The Southern Baptist Convention is second only to the Methodist denomination<br />
in the number of its churches. We are not second to the Methodists in<br />
the number of preachers, but the Methodist denomination in the United States<br />
how is a merger of Northern <strong>and</strong> Southern Methodists <strong>and</strong> other bodies including<br />
negro churches. The Southern Baptist Convention operates in only 19<br />
of the states <strong>and</strong> the District of Columbia. Leaving the Methodists out of the<br />
picture, Southern Baptists, through the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board with nearly<br />
$10,000,000 of assets, occupies fifth place in the matter of financial strength<br />
among the retirement boards of the great denominations; while Northern Baptists<br />
through their Benefit Board have $25,000,000 of reserves- the Conffregationalists<br />
have approximately $20,000,000; Protestant Episcopalians nearly<br />
$40,000,000 <strong>and</strong> the Presbyterians of the North over $45,000 000 Now the<br />
point is that these denominations have from one-fourth to one-third as mamchurches<br />
as the Southern Baptists have, <strong>and</strong> from one-fourth to two-fifths<br />
the number of preachers as the Southern Baptist Convention. In plain figures<br />
Southern Baptists, with 24,000 ministers, may be compared with Northern<br />
Baptists who have 7,000, to Congregationalists with 5,600, to the Disciples of<br />
Christ with less than 8,000. to Protestant Episcopalians with 6 600 <strong>and</strong> to<br />
Northern Presbyterians with 9,500. If these denominations require the large<br />
reserves which they have required (<strong>and</strong> they are all on an actuarially funded<br />
reasonable.<br />
basis), then the idea of our having in the future $40,000,000 more is altogether
RELIEF AND ANNUITY BOARD 449<br />
Again, if we should have $30,000,000 within 15 years, that would not mean<br />
that we had received that amount from the churches, institutions, <strong>and</strong> agencies<br />
of the southern <strong>and</strong> state conventions <strong>and</strong> their employees. A large portion<br />
of such an amount would have come from interest compounded on the gathered<br />
funds over the long years, just as our present reserves of approximately $10,<br />
000,000 may thus be accounted for. However, with lowered <strong>and</strong> possibly still<br />
lower interest rates in the future, these accumulations from investments will<br />
not be as significant as they have been in the past, but still they will be very<br />
material.<br />
Let it be noted that of all the funds which the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity. Board has<br />
in its custody, less than a quarter of a million dollars constitutes its surplus.<br />
All of the funds above that amount are ear marked. These are all sacred trust<br />
funds, <strong>and</strong> cannot be diverted from their proper use to any other purpose. The<br />
funds accumulated in the several annuity plans, amounting to $8,544,024.71,<br />
will be used exclusively for paying benefits to the members of the plans in which<br />
they have participated.<br />
Now, here is another important matter: While the Southern Baptist Convention<br />
has underwriten the (Old) Annuity Fund, <strong>and</strong> thus is contractually obbligated<br />
to furnish much of the money to create the necessary reserves to pay<br />
an additional $10,000,000 to the beneficiaries of that fund, the Convention, as<br />
such, has not assumed any contractual financial obligation with reference to the<br />
several new plans which we have inaugurated. All of these plans are financially<br />
sponsored, indeed financially sustained, by the several Convention boards, institutions,<br />
<strong>and</strong> agencies whose employees hold membership therein <strong>and</strong> contribute<br />
monthly dues. Likewise, neither of the three individual plans operated by the<br />
Board look to the Southern Baptist Convention for its financial support. The<br />
increased reserves, therefore, which are being built up are from members' dues,<br />
contributions from the employing agencies, <strong>and</strong> the interest additions added<br />
thereto. It will, of course, be understood that the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board has<br />
not made any of these contracts independently of the Convention. Every<br />
certificate which it has issued stipulated that, "Pursuant to the authority of the<br />
Southern Baptist Convention, the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board issues this Certificate<br />
of participation," etc. Under section one of this report, we have sought<br />
to make it clear that all the plans which the Board has operated have been<br />
started under the authority vested in it by the Convention. In making many<br />
contracts with state <strong>and</strong> southern convention boards, institutions, <strong>and</strong> agencies,<br />
<strong>and</strong> with their employees, we have not lost sight of the fact that much of the<br />
money received has been denominationally provided, <strong>and</strong> though the funds have<br />
not come through the Cooperative Program, still these funds have come largely<br />
from the sources which are integrated with the Cooperative Program. It should<br />
also be understood that these funds which we are collecting from boards, agencies,<br />
<strong>and</strong> institutions of southern <strong>and</strong> state conventions, constitute the minimum<br />
requirements for the building of the reserves actuarially computed as necessary.<br />
While making these contracts with the agencies of the state convention <strong>and</strong><br />
the Southern Baptist Convention, this Board must claim its birthright, i.e, its<br />
claim to the right of participation in the distribution of funds raised under the<br />
auspices of the Southern Baptist Convention. This was recognized by the<br />
Executive Committee of the Convention when it appointed a special committee<br />
on survey. This committee did not omit to come, to Dallas <strong>and</strong> inquire of the<br />
Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board concerning its capital needs. These needs, after most<br />
careful consideration by the committee, were recognized, <strong>and</strong> $3,000,000 of the<br />
$5,000,000 asked for was recommended for the use of the Board.<br />
The Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board will use this fund to stabilize all of its work;<br />
to make sure full interest credits to its several reserve funds; to help in meeting<br />
its cost of administration; <strong>and</strong> to enable it to meet economic conditions <strong>and</strong><br />
situations which cannot now be accurately forecast.<br />
We cannot properly compare the work of the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board<br />
with banks <strong>and</strong> trust companies or insurance companies, but just as these institutions<br />
know that surplus funds are necessary to insure their financial soundness<br />
<strong>and</strong> to safeguard them in time of depression, so the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity<br />
Board sorely needs the added strength which a worthy surplus fund would give<br />
it.<br />
of agencies $100,000 Now, of of the for a proposed Convention, the use $3,000,000 of the Relief Executive to <strong>and</strong> be raised Annuity Committee in Board. 1946 provided for The distribution only reason a token assigned<br />
to sum the
450 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
for this token sum to be distributed to us this year rather than our prorata part<br />
of the $3,000,000 was that the mission boards <strong>and</strong> the seminaries had such<br />
urgent need for additional capital funds. This was but the repetition of what<br />
took place in 1920 when, in the inteerst of the mission boards <strong>and</strong> the seminaries,<br />
the previously approved $5,000,000 allocation to the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity<br />
Board was reduced to $2,500,000. Reduced allocations have been made since<br />
1920 in serving the same causes. We sincerely trust that the promise held out<br />
to us, that the proper allocations to us of the post war funds would be made<br />
after 1946, will be faithfully carried out. During the debt-paying campaign, the<br />
Relief <strong>and</strong>. Annuity Board, although it had great potential liabilities, made no<br />
claim for a place at the family table. We now must seek by every proper appeal<br />
to secure that place <strong>and</strong> hold it.<br />
ADDENDA<br />
1. We call the attention of the convention to the fact that our operating<br />
cost, while increasing in terms of dollars every year, is decreasing in ratio of<br />
expense to income. During 1945, our operating cost was approximately 4% of<br />
the total income. This, compared with other denominational pension agencies in<br />
the United States, shows that we are below them in this cost. The average<br />
operating expense of twenty agencies reporting to the Church Pensions Conferences<br />
was 5.3% of the income. A few years ago our operating cost in relation<br />
to income amounted to 12%.<br />
2. Another important item is that of the 1103 members of the Ministers<br />
Retirement Plan who were eligible to retire from the beginning of the plan to<br />
December 31, 1945, 733 actually retired. The ratio of the number of retirements<br />
to the number eligible to retire in the several states varies a good deal.<br />
In Maryl<strong>and</strong> it was only 35.5%, in Mississippi 40.3%, in Alabama 47.7%, Arkansas<br />
51%; one other ran as high as 77.5%, <strong>and</strong> another 74%, <strong>and</strong> others from<br />
55.5% in Georgia to 69% in Virginia. The average ratio for all the states, with<br />
the exception of North Carolina, latest data for which was unavailable, was<br />
66.5%. Last year we reported the retirements in North Carolina as 29.6% of<br />
those eligible to retire, <strong>and</strong> in that year the general average in the South was<br />
42.15%. We had reason to expect an increase in the number of retirements after<br />
the close of the war, <strong>and</strong> this rise in ratio is well nigh sure to continue during<br />
1946.<br />
3. We think that our experience in the matter of collection of dues in the<br />
several states has been quite encouraging. Of course, there are many delinquents<br />
among the preachers <strong>and</strong> some among the churches. However, the<br />
over-all picture is encouraging. As best we can determine, the delinquent dues<br />
among the preachers amount to approximately 10%, <strong>and</strong> the delinquent dues<br />
among the churches approximately 7%. However, many churches are paying<br />
5 eir *r, U r eS ono en w ^en pastors become delinquent. To state it another way, of<br />
the $445,208 due to have been paid by ministers $410,519 was paid in 1945,<br />
while the churches paid $467,878.34, which was several thous<strong>and</strong> dollars more<br />
than the churches as a whole were due to pay. This was due to the fact that<br />
some churches that were without pastors continued to make their payments into<br />
the C <strong>and</strong> C fund. The state convention boards pay 2/3 as much-as the<br />
preachers actually pay <strong>and</strong> no more. Therefore, the dues of the Convention are<br />
paid m full every month.<br />
4. The Conferences at Ridgecrest will be resumed this year, running through<br />
June, July <strong>and</strong> August, <strong>and</strong> will furnish our Board opportunities for much<br />
promotional work in all the plans, <strong>and</strong> particularly this year in the Widows<br />
Supplemental Annuity Plan.<br />
5. We are pleased to report the following educational institutions voting to<br />
come into our Educational Institutions Plan since January 1 1945- Southern<br />
Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky; Baylor University Waco<br />
Texas; Mercer University/ Macon, Georgia; Campbell College Buie's Creek'<br />
North Carolina; Southwest Baptist College, Bolivar, Missouri; Wayl<strong>and</strong> College'<br />
Plainview, Texas; John B. Stetson University, DeL<strong>and</strong>, Florida- Harrison Chilhowee<br />
Academy, Seymour, Tennessee. Other institutions entering our Orphanage<br />
Plan are the Tennessee Baptist Orphanage, Franklin, Tennessee <strong>and</strong> the<br />
Georgia Baptist Children's Home, Hapeville, Georgia.<br />
Widows of the 6. In State Supplemental this Conventions section Annuity of our <strong>and</strong> report Plan Boards which Exhibit <strong>and</strong> has made F been is a given approved budget the item by full practically bv text them of the for<br />

RELIEF AND ANNUITY BOARD 451<br />
inauguration as of July 1, 1946. This plan is also adapted to the needs of<br />
eligible male employees of all the agencies <strong>and</strong> institutions of the Conventions<br />
cooperating with the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board in any one of its group plans.<br />
The plan is herewith presented with the hope that it will be very faithfully considered<br />
by the members of the Ministers Retirement Plan <strong>and</strong> other group plans<br />
operated by the Board.<br />
7. Prior to January 1, the Foreign Mission Board voted to increase the<br />
pensions of retired missionaries from $500 to $900 per annum. It is the desire<br />
of the Foreign Board to channel all retirement benefits through the Relief<br />
<strong>and</strong> Annuity Board, hence it is our expectation at an early date to increase the<br />
monthly checks from this Board to retired missionaries from $41.66 to $75.<br />
The Foreign Mission Board <strong>and</strong> the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board have been conferring<br />
relative to arrangements for funding the liabilities for the missionaries<br />
not already in retirement, <strong>and</strong> it is possible they will also make some funding<br />
arrangement for the present roll of retired missionaries. The Relief <strong>and</strong><br />
Annuity Board voted at its last session to give the authority to its officials to<br />
enter into a revised agreement with the Foreign Mission Board relative to<br />
these matters.<br />
8. During the first quarter of 1946, the total receipts of the Board have<br />
been $667,975.71, <strong>and</strong> the total expenditures $300,129.42, this covering the<br />
benefits paid through the several annuity plans <strong>and</strong> the relief department <strong>and</strong><br />
also the expenditures for administration <strong>and</strong> promotion. The approximate<br />
amount added to the reserves of the Board at the end of the first quarter was<br />
$367,846.29. This amount added to the reserves reported by the treasurer as<br />
of December 31, 1945, of $9,449,256.09, have thus been increased to $9,817,<br />
102.38. It is quite apparent that the reserves of the Board will pass the<br />
$10,000,000 mark before the convention assembles in Miami, Florida, May 14,<br />
1946. We are able to report 398 new members enrolled in the Ministers Retirement<br />
Plan <strong>and</strong> the several other active annuity plans of the Board since<br />
January 1. This is to March 31. This number will doubtless reach 600 or more<br />
by the time the convention assembles. The total number of certificates issued<br />
in all plans as of March 31, 1946, is 16,545. The aggregate of benefits paid<br />
during the first quarter of 1946, both relief <strong>and</strong> annuity, is $244,646.79.<br />
On the basis of a multiple of this sum by four, it will be seen that the<br />
benefits will be probably increased during 1946 to $978,587.16, <strong>and</strong> we may pass<br />
the one million mark by December 31, 1946. The receipts through the Cooperative<br />
Program <strong>and</strong> designations for the first quarter of 1946 amounted to<br />
$177,809.39. Distributable funds of the Cooperative Program appear to have<br />
been on the basis of approximately $5,000,000 during the first quarter. Of the<br />
$177,809.39 received from the Executive Committee to March 31, approximately<br />
$3,000 was designated money.<br />
9. In the concluding pages of the entire report of the Board there will be<br />
found under Exhibit A a very illuminating table headed "Contributory Retirement<br />
Annuity Plans." It is hoped that this table will be made a matter of<br />
thoughtful study.<br />
Under Exhibit B is given another table entitled "Combined Dues <strong>and</strong> Contributions."<br />
This includes contributions applicable to all the annuity plans of<br />
the Board including the (Old) Annuity Fund which is not now active in the<br />
sense of its receiving new members.<br />
Under Exhibit C is given the table showing the increase in membership<br />
<strong>and</strong> in the number of participating churches <strong>and</strong> organizations in the several<br />
annuity plans of the Board. From this table it will be seen that the number of<br />
members added since January 1, 1945, was 1822 <strong>and</strong> the number of churches<br />
<strong>and</strong> cooperative boards added was 647. The total number of active members<br />
now participating in the several plans will be seen from Exhibit A as above<br />
referred to.<br />
Under Exhibit D we are presenting the entire list of contracting general<br />
boards, institutions, <strong>and</strong> agencies whose employees participate in one of the<br />
several retirement plans of the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board.<br />
Under Exhibit E is given statistical tables of value to students of our work.<br />
Exhibit F gives the full text of the "Widows Supplemental Annuity Plan of<br />
the Southern Baptist Convention.

THE BOARD'S FINANCIAL CONDITION AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1945<br />
ORVILLE GRONER. Treasurer<br />
The books of the Board were audited as of December 31, 1945, by Darcy<br />
Bonner, Certified Public Accountant, <strong>and</strong> the complete audit is now in the files<br />
of the Board. A copy has been given to the Chairman of the Advisory Committee<br />
<strong>and</strong> a copy will be forwarded to the Executive Committee of the Southern<br />
Baptist Convention.<br />
I am submitting herewith Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1945, compared<br />
with December 31, 1944; also Comparative Statement of Income <strong>and</strong> Expenditures.<br />
The Balance Sheet shows total assets of $9,449,256.09, or an increase<br />
over the previous year of $1,542,119.33. The principal changes in the assets<br />
are increases in bonds, preferred <strong>and</strong> common stocks, <strong>and</strong> a decrease in mortage<br />
loans. The Comparative Statement of Income <strong>and</strong> Expenditures show?<br />
total income of $2,676,451.17, or an increase over 1944 of $539,583.19, <strong>and</strong><br />
total expenditures of $1,094,630.46, or an increase of $98,251.15.<br />
The cash transactions for the year were as follows:<br />
Income $2,676,451.17<br />
Expenditures 1,094,630.46<br />
Investment Transactions 5,940,065.56<br />
Total .'. $9,711,147.19<br />
Tables showing the financial growth, benefits paid, <strong>and</strong> investment ear<br />
year by year are presented.<br />
The details of the Accounting Department continue to exp<strong>and</strong> year by year.<br />
The problem of keeping an accurate record on 40,000 individual accounts with<br />
the changes in pastorates, salaries, etc., involves an enormous mass of detail.<br />

THE BOARD'S INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE<br />
By ORVILLE GRONER. Treasurer<br />
During the year 1945 American business <strong>and</strong> industry were suddenly confronted<br />
with the necessity of changing from a war economy to a peace time<br />
economy. The problems were further accentuated by a plague of strikes the<br />
latter part of the year, but in spite of all this the industrial production for the<br />
year, as reflected by the Federal Reserve Board Index, was only about 14%<br />
under the 1944 figure. However, the national income exceeded the tremendous<br />
figure for 1944 by approximately 2%%.<br />
The investor was confronted throughout the year with the continued refun<br />
ing of existing issues of bonds at progressively lower rates, also the refunding<br />
of a number of preferred stocks at extremely low rates. New construction in<br />
the real estate field increased some during the latter part of the year, but was<br />
only a fraction of the pre-war normal, <strong>and</strong> the selling price of existing real<br />
estate, particularly residences, at terrifically inflated values made the lot of<br />
the investor a hard one indeed.<br />
The average rate of return on the mean of the Board's investments was<br />
3.69%, compared with 3.91% for 1944. This reduction was primarily the result<br />
of high yielding corporate bonds being called, <strong>and</strong> the liquidation of mortgage<br />
loans, together with the purchasing of additional Government Bonds <strong>and</strong> lower<br />
yielding corporate bonds.<br />
The rate of return on various classes of investments for 1945, compared<br />
with 1944, was as follows:<br />
1945 1944<br />
Bonds 2.72% 3.41%<br />
Mortgage loans 5.09 4.82<br />
Preferred Stocks 5.09 5.26<br />
Industrial common stocks 4.97 4.98<br />
Insurance stocks 4.35 4.35<br />
Baptist Building (after depreciation) 3.05 3.11

DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS<br />
The distribution of the Board's assets on a percentage basis as of December<br />
31, 1945, compared with December 31, 1944, was as follows:<br />
„ „ 1945 1944<br />
Bonds<br />

Prepaid Expense 03 .05<br />
Cash 6.26 7.85<br />
Total Assets 100.00% 100.00%<br />
MORTGAGE LOANS<br />
The investment in mortgage loans on the year end amounted to $1,479,849.02<br />
in conventional loans <strong>and</strong> $271,251.97 in F.H.A. loans. On the year end there<br />
was total principal of $314.97 that was either past due or extended, <strong>and</strong> there<br />
was past due interest in the amount of $154.71. All of these items have long<br />
since been collected. As indicated by this record, our loans are in excellent<br />
condition <strong>and</strong> the margin of security behind them is very high due to the<br />
inflated price of real estate.<br />
We made 20 new mortgage loans during the year totaling $140,000.00. Real<br />
estate construction has greatly increased since the first of the year <strong>and</strong> we have<br />
been able tp make a number of new mortgage loans. In fact, since January 1st,<br />
we have already committed on more than twice as many mortgage loans as we<br />
made during the entire year of 1945. Construction of new homes will doubtless<br />
be greatly increased during the year <strong>and</strong> we should be able to increase our<br />
investments in mortgage loans. Building costs are extremely high <strong>and</strong> the<br />
making of loans under such conditions will require extremely careful appraisals<br />
<strong>and</strong> as rapid reductions as possible.<br />
REAL ESTATE<br />
The Board owns real estate in the amount of $15,261.47 in addition to the<br />
Baptist Building. This real estate figure did not change during the year.<br />
We are planning to add three additional floors to our Baptist Building. Practically<br />
all of the Baptist Agencies are in need of additional space. Under the<br />
present muddled housing situation, we do not know just when we can begin<br />
construction, but the architect is completing the plans for the additional floors<br />
<strong>and</strong> we shall "proceed just as rapidly as possible.<br />
/<br />
BONDS<br />
Bond prices are higher than ever before in history, <strong>and</strong> translated in the<br />
terms of yield, provide the lowest yield on record. This low yield has even been<br />
further accentuated since the first of this year.

Total investments liquidated $2,156,638.94<br />
Total investment transactions $5,940,065.56<br />
Due to the continued pressure on interest rates, the return on the Board's<br />
investments, as your Committee has anticipated for the past several years, is<br />
suffering a steady reduction. The 1945 rate of return was 0.22% less than 1944.<br />
Your Committee will continue its policy of keeping the Board's funds working<br />
to produce as much as possible consistent with the safety of principal. However,<br />
as far as can be seen at the present time, there is nothing in sight to cause any<br />
material change in interest rates, <strong>and</strong> apparently the Board is confronted with a<br />
number of years of low earnings on its investments.<br />

VIEWING OUR MINISTRY OF RELIEF<br />
WALTER R. ALEXANDER, Associate Executive Secretary<br />
It has been thought by many, <strong>and</strong> so expressed by some, that eventually<br />
the various annuity plans of the Board will cause the relief roll to diminish;<br />
indeed, well-nigh to disappear. It is quite evident,' however, that that day is<br />
still far in the future. The war <strong>and</strong> its aftermath, with increased living costs,<br />
is enlarging the relief roll steadily. The total number of beneficiaries hovered<br />
in the vicinity of 1,200 for a number of years. Last year, we reported 1,226.<br />
Today, the total is nearly 1,300.<br />
The above being true, it is very enheartening to see the receipts for this<br />
department increasing so steadily these latter years. In 1942, the total received<br />
was $120,000.00; in 1943, $168,000.00; in 1944, $180,000.00; <strong>and</strong> in 1945, well<br />
over $223,000.00, of which total $11,000.00 came from the Centennial offering.<br />
Thus, your committee was enabled again last year to enroll all properly attested<br />
applicants, to make numerous increases in grants to those already enrolled, to<br />
send an additional check at the Christmas season to every beneficiary in the sum<br />
of $12.50, <strong>and</strong> to add materially to the relief reserve fund.<br />
In the report made one year ago to the Board, we forecast an expenditure in<br />
1945 of $157,000.00. We actually disbursed $179,000.00, $22,000.00 beyond<br />
the estimated figure. This was occasioned by the addition of many new names,<br />
together with many increases in grants. However, your committee operated<br />
well within the income, as there was received, in the year 1945, over $223,000.00,<br />
$43,000.00 more than was received in 1944, <strong>and</strong> $44,000.00 more than was<br />
expended in 1945. Thus, a goodly sum again has been added to the reserve<br />
fund, a sum in excess of $34,000.00.<br />
In view of these increasing dem<strong>and</strong>s occasioned by rising living costs, your<br />
committee is pressing, this year, the special offering for relief, authorized by<br />
the Southern Baptist Convention. Such an offering has been sought in recent<br />
years, <strong>and</strong> with some measure of success. The response, however, has not been<br />
worthy of Southern Baptists, as the participation was by no means general, nor<br />
was it commensurate with the needs of the cause. We must bear in mind that,<br />
even with the more liberal grants to our beneficiaries of the past two years, we<br />
are far behind several of the other great denominations of America in the<br />
measure of aid given by them to their aged <strong>and</strong> dependent preachers <strong>and</strong> widows.<br />
Accordingly, therefore, <strong>and</strong> with the express approval of the Southern Baptist<br />
Convention, a special letter was recently addressed to the pastors of all churches<br />
listed in the Southern Baptist H<strong>and</strong>book of 500 members or above. In response<br />
to these letters, some 30,000 special envelopes have already been mailed to<br />
pastors requesting them, <strong>and</strong> they are being mailed continuously in response to<br />
other requests coming in from day to day. It is confidently believed the special<br />
offering this year will bring a worthy sum.<br />
While we do not hope to receive anything comparable to the sums received<br />
in either the Lottie Moon Christmas offering for foreign missions, or the Annie<br />
Armstrong offering for home missions, we see no reason why this annual offering<br />
for relief should not bring to the Board a most substantial sum year after<br />
year. In this way, we are hoping to increase all our relief grants in this day of<br />
diminishing dollar values, at the same time adding materially to the William<br />
Lunsford Memorial fund, which we purpose to build to $1,000,000.00 in the<br />
immediate future. This fund now as of March 31, 1946, st<strong>and</strong>s at approximately<br />
$370,000.00.

CHAPTER V. THE PREVIEW, 1946-1968<br />
In this, its 28th annual report, your Board has dealt thus far altogether<br />
retrospectively. First, we have dealt with a period preceding 1918 by over<br />
75 years; second, we have reviewed the period of the beginnings of our organized<br />
Southern Baptist Convention Board efforts, 1918-1925; third, we have<br />
detailed the achievements of the period of our greatest expansion 1925-1944;<br />
fourth, we have presented the current view covering the fiscal year (calendar)<br />
of 1945 <strong>and</strong> the first quarter of 1946. In this the fifth chapter we are dealing<br />
prospectively with the matter of our probable future achievements.<br />
The motto of David Livingstone was in these words, "I determined never<br />
to stop until I had come to the end <strong>and</strong> had achieved my purpose." By unfalter-
RELIEF AND ANNUITY BOARD 461<br />
ing persistence <strong>and</strong> faith in God, Livingstone conquered. Your Relief <strong>and</strong><br />
Annuity Board has passed through experiences not essentially foreign to those<br />
of Livingstone. Your Board has not advanced through these 28 years on<br />
"flowery beds of ease." Through "good report" <strong>and</strong> through "evil report" it has<br />
followed a comm<strong>and</strong> like unto that which the mariners on the first ship ever to<br />
touch American shores given by Columbus, which comm<strong>and</strong> was ever <strong>and</strong> anon,<br />
Sail on!<br />
And now concerning the days <strong>and</strong> months <strong>and</strong> years which lie ahead, it<br />
is not amiss for us to venture some forecasts, for as Edmund Burke declared,<br />
"Futurity is the great concern of mankind." Our futurity is not to be determined<br />
by coincidence on our part or of caprice on the part of God. The Relief<br />
<strong>and</strong> Annuity Board <strong>and</strong> Almighty God must continue to be in conjunction. If<br />
this condition is realized, "the future is lighted for us with the radiant colors of<br />
hope." Adopting the immortal saying of William Cary, the great apostle to<br />
India, we are to continue to "attempt great things for God," <strong>and</strong> "expect great<br />
things from God."<br />
When the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board was constituted at Hot Springs in 1918<br />
it was as we have said elsewhere in this discussion, sent on a truly major mission.<br />
The territory of the Southern Baptist Convention was to be its field of operations,<br />
geographically speaking. The ministry <strong>and</strong> all the laborers supported by<br />
the churches, the conventions <strong>and</strong> their institutions <strong>and</strong> agencies, southern <strong>and</strong><br />
state, constituted the organisms which the Board, through its benign ministry,<br />
was to constructively serve. A tremendous potential constituency <strong>and</strong> service<br />
this! Surely, there was something definite for the Board to do. Nothing was<br />
to be its own except it made conquest of it! Someone has said, "When faith<br />
goes to market it always takes a basket."<br />
Here the Board has not failed. -Its basket has gone with its faith, <strong>and</strong> its<br />
high purpose has ever been to bring that basket ladened with blessed <strong>and</strong> timely<br />
aid into every state of the convention <strong>and</strong> to every group <strong>and</strong> individual needing<br />
its ministry.<br />
As the children of Joseph, Manasseh <strong>and</strong> Ephraim, took their inheritance<br />
(Joshua 16:4), even so the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board has sought ever to<br />
"possess its possessions." We have also been mindful of the exhortation of the<br />
children of Dan recorded in Judges 18: 9, 10, "Arise for we have seen the l<strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> behold it is very good <strong>and</strong> are ye still? Be not slothful t'o go <strong>and</strong> enter to<br />
possess the l<strong>and</strong>; for God hath given it into your h<strong>and</strong>s; a place where there is<br />
no want of anything that is in the earth."<br />
Our forecast for the period 1946 to 1968, when the Board will doubtless<br />
celebrate its golden jubilee, is bound to be on the basis of faith—a faith full<br />
of hope <strong>and</strong> expectation like in kind, though we dare not say in quality, to that<br />
which is recorded concerning the many worthies of the long yester-centuries<br />
recorded in the eleventh chapter of Hebrews. This great company dared to<br />
trust God to bring to pass the glorious things for which their hearts longed.<br />
The Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board today, dares to expect a rich return from its<br />
invested energies <strong>and</strong> an abundant fruitage from its plantings!<br />
Yes we shall continue to go to market, <strong>and</strong> we shall take along our basket<br />
which shall be filled to overflowing, for that is how God rewards the faith of<br />
his servants.<br />
By 1956, ten years hence, the present assets of the Board of approximately<br />
$10 000 000'shall, please God, have grown to $25,000,000; <strong>and</strong> by 1968 (our<br />
fiftieth year) these assets shall have increased to $40,000,000. But our faith<br />
objectives reach far beyond the successful amassing of money, important <strong>and</strong><br />
imperatively necessary as the amassing of money is. Amassing money merely<br />
for the sake of money is not <strong>and</strong> never shall be this Board's desire or purpose.<br />
Our chief objective is that we shall be able to "apprehend that for which we<br />
have been apprehended," i.e., that our service to our multitude of preachers<br />
<strong>and</strong> the widows of preachers together with our thous<strong>and</strong>s of denominationally<br />
employed lay workers shall be equal to their numbers <strong>and</strong> commensurate with<br />
their needs Our enrolled membership in our several annuity plans, inclusive<br />
of our relief beneficiaries, will make tremendous gains during the intervening<br />
oeriod before we celebrate our fiftieth birthday anniversary. And what does<br />
our faith prompt us to forecast here? It is that no fewer than 30,000 active<br />
members will be of record in 1968. This only means a little more than doubling
46*J SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
oi our present roll. Certainly, with the probable doubling of our church membership<br />
during the next 22 years, this figure is reasonably sure of realization.<br />
Emphasizing another aspect of our future, in 1968 the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity<br />
Board will be as it is in 1946. Financially, it will be as strong as Southern<br />
Baptists are able, <strong>and</strong> as contractually dependable as Southern Baptists are<br />
moral! The loss of confidence in the ability or the dependability of this Board<br />
in connection with its administration of any one of its Annuity Plans would<br />
destroy in a frightful measure the confidence now reposing in the Board on the<br />
part of more than 13,000 ministers, missionaries, <strong>and</strong> other workers who are<br />
sending their monthly dues to it in the belief that in their old age or earlier<br />
incapacity for service they can look to this "Southern Baptist House of Protection"<br />
<strong>and</strong> know that their cruse will be regularly replenished.<br />
Now it seems appropriate in concluding this preview that we quote the<br />
words of Longfellow r taken from his poem, "The Builders."<br />
"Build today, then, strong <strong>and</strong> sure,<br />
With a firm <strong>and</strong> ample base;<br />
And ascending <strong>and</strong> secure<br />
Shall tomorrow find its place."

FULL TEXT OF THE<br />
WIDOWS SUPPLEMENTAL ANNUITY PLAN<br />
Introduction<br />
The several contributory retirement plans operated by the Relief <strong>and</strong> Ann<br />
Board have long since justified their existence, are proving a blessing to our<br />
entire constituency, <strong>and</strong> have already become a vital stabilizing factor in the<br />
denominational life.<br />
Liberal as they are in the benefits they offer, it has been recognized,<br />
inception, there is an element of security lacking in them. They have offered<br />
insufficient protection to the widow of the man removed by death before entering<br />
upon a retirement annuity.<br />
Looking toward some plan supplemental to the Ministers Retirement Plan<br />
operating in that state, the South Carolina Baptist Convention appointed a<br />
committee in 1942 to confer with the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board. Two years of<br />
study <strong>and</strong> some half dozen conferences followed. As a result, the Widows Annuity<br />
Plan, issued as a supplement to the Ministers Retirement Plan of South<br />
Carolina, began operating in that state July 1, 1945.<br />
With that plan as a model, the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board is now offering<br />
tended coverage by way of a widows supplemental annuity plan to be operated<br />
southwide. In order to offer the protection the plan affords to all, the plan is on<br />
a dual basis.
RELIEF AND ANNUITY BOARD 469<br />
Plan "A" offers membership to all pastors of churches affiliated with any of<br />
the twenty state conventions of the Southern Baptist Convention <strong>and</strong> the District<br />
of Columbia, <strong>and</strong> is designated Widows Supplemental Annuity Plan for<br />
State Conventions.<br />
PJan "B" offers the same protection to all other denominational servants,<br />
whether state or southwide, <strong>and</strong> is designated Widows Supplemental Annuity<br />
Plan for Boards, Institutions, <strong>and</strong> Agencies.<br />
The plans are so integrated members may transfer from one state convention<br />
to another, or from one type of service to another, without jeopardy.<br />
It is hoped both forms of the plan can be inaugurated as of July 1, 1946. The<br />
terms of the certificate of membership in Plan "A," together with certain explanatory<br />
notes, follow.<br />
WIDOWS SUPPLEMENTAL ANNUITY PLAN FOR STATE<br />
CONVENTIONS OBJECTIVE<br />
The objective of the Widows Supplemental Annuity Plan is to establish a<br />
uniform program throughout the Southern Baptist Convention to provide annuities<br />
for widows of members of a Ministers Retirement Plan of a State Convention<br />
(hereinafter referred to as the convention) of the Southern Baptist Convention,<br />
administered by the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board, where such members die before<br />
entering upon an age retirement annuity or who die while receiving a disability<br />
annuity provided under a Ministers Retirement Plan.<br />
PLAN<br />
The Widows Supplemental Annuity Plan (hereinafter referred to as the<br />
Plan) shall be administered in-accordance with the following provisions:<br />
(1) Member Contributions—The contributions of the member (hereinafter<br />
referred to as member contributions) shall be the following percentages of the<br />
salary basis:<br />
Attained Age at Beginning of Fiscal Year Contribution<br />
Up to 59, inclusive lVz%<br />
60 to 69, inclusive 2 %<br />
70 <strong>and</strong> up 2%%<br />
(2) Convention Contributions—The contributions of the convention (hereinafter<br />
referred to as convention contributions) shall be amounts equivalent to<br />
the contributions of the members <strong>and</strong> shall be in addition thereto.<br />
(3) Salary Basis—The salary basis shall be the basis upon which the member<br />
is paying contributions under a Ministers Retirement Plan. The maximum<br />
salary basis shall be four thous<strong>and</strong> dollars ($4,000) per year.<br />
(4) Fiscal Year—The fiscal year of the Plan shall begin on July 1 of each<br />
year.<br />
(5) Protection—In event that the full member contributions <strong>and</strong> convention<br />
contributions on behalf of the member shall have been paid within a given fiscal<br />
year the protection under the Plan shall be extended to the wife of the member<br />
during the ensuing fiscal year of the Plan. Members may enter the Plan only as<br />
of the beginning of a fiscal year <strong>and</strong> must participate in the Plan for a full fiscal<br />
year before any benefits are incurred except in cases of transfers provided for<br />
in paragraph (12).<br />
(6) Benefit—In the event of the death of the member before entering upon<br />
an age retirement annuity or after entering upon a disability retirement annuity,<br />
during a fiscal year for which the full member contributions <strong>and</strong> convention<br />
contributions have been paid, an annuity shall be payable to the widow of such<br />
member. The annuity shall be payable in equal monthly installments, effective<br />
fvom the date of death of the member, such monthly installments ceasing with<br />
the last payment preceding the date of the death or remarriage of the widow.<br />

(9) Delayed Participation—In the event that any person eligible for membership<br />
at the inauguration of the Plan delays participation beyond one year<br />
after the date of inauguration of the Plan or any person who later becomes<br />
eligible <strong>and</strong> delays participation beyond the first fiscal year of eligibility, the<br />
widows annuity otherwise payable shall be reduced at the rate of one-twentyfifth<br />
(1/25) of such annuity for each year of delayed participation.<br />
(10) Contributions Not Paid in Full—In the event that the member contributions<br />
<strong>and</strong> convention contributions for a fiscal year are not paid in full, the<br />
widow shall be eligible for an annuity only if the death of the member should<br />
occur during that fractional period of the year for which contributions have<br />
been paid.<br />
(11) Grace Period—Member contributions <strong>and</strong> convention contributions are<br />
due <strong>and</strong> payable monthly the first day of each month. In the event of nonpayment<br />
of contributions a grace period of ninety (90) days shall be allowed.<br />
In the event of the death of the member during such grace period all unpaid<br />
contributions shall be deducted from any benefits payable. If such unpaid<br />
contributions shall not have been paid during such grace period, then at the<br />
expiration of the grace period membership in the Plan shall be terminated. If<br />
<strong>and</strong> when membership is resumed by the payment of the required member contributions<br />
<strong>and</strong> convention contributions, thereafter the graduated scale of benefits<br />
outlined in paragraph (7) shall apply, counting from the date of the resumption<br />
of membership; further, for each year of omitted membership the<br />
widows annuity shall be reduced at the rate of one-twenty-fiith (1 25) as provided<br />
in paragraph (9).<br />
(12) Transfer of Membership—Upon transfer from the convention to<br />
another convention which is also under the Plan or to an organization which is<br />
participating in the Widows Supplemental Annuity Plan for Boards. Institutions<br />
<strong>and</strong> Agencies, the wife of the member shall be entitled to receive protection from<br />
the convention from which the member transfers for the period covered by<br />
member contributions <strong>and</strong> convention contributions already due <strong>and</strong> paid.<br />
Upon transfer from the convention to another convention which is not under<br />
the Plan or to an organization which is not participating in the Widows Supplemental<br />
Annuity Plan for Boards, Institutions <strong>and</strong> Agencies, protection %hall<br />
cease as of the date of transfer, any unearned member contributions shall be<br />
refunded to the member <strong>and</strong> any unearned convention contributions paid on account<br />
of the member shall be refunded to the convention in accordance with<br />
paragraph (13).<br />
Upon transfer of membership to the Plan from a convention which is also<br />
under the Plan from an organization which is participating in the Widows
RELIEF AND ANNUITY BOARD 471<br />
Supplemental Annuity Plan for Boards, Institutions <strong>and</strong> Agencies, the wife of<br />
the member shall be entitled to receive protection from this convention for the<br />
period covered by member contributions beginning with those due <strong>and</strong> payable<br />
as of the date of transfer. The amount of the protection shall be on the same<br />
basis as the protection to which the wife of the member was entitled before<br />
transfer.<br />
(13) Termination of Membership—In the event of the death of the member<br />
before entering upon an age retirement annuity, there shall be refunded any<br />
member contributions paid on account of the current fiscal year. Such payment<br />
shall be made to a beneficiary designated by the member, if living; otherwise to<br />
the estate of the member. In the event of the termination of membership in<br />
the retirement plan through which the member became eligible for membership<br />
in this Plan or in the event of entering upon an age retirement annuity, membership<br />
in this Plan shall be terminated automatically as of the date of termination<br />
of such retirement plan membership or the date of retirement, respectively,<br />
with a refund to the member of any unearned member contributions, <strong>and</strong> any unearned<br />
convention contributions paid on account of the member shall be refunded<br />
to the convention. In view of the fact that this protection is furnished<br />
on a year to year term cost basis, there are no other withdrawal equities payable<br />
at any time in the event of the discontinuance of participation by the member.<br />
(14) Other Annuity Benefits Part of This Benefit—It is understood <strong>and</strong><br />
agreed that the annuity provided for the widow under any of the existing retirement<br />
plans (the old Annuity Plan is not a retirement plan <strong>and</strong> therefore is<br />
not affected by this provision) shall constitute a part of <strong>and</strong> not be additional to<br />
the annuity provided under this Plan; that is to say, an annuitant under the<br />
Widows Supplemental Annuity Plan shall not be entitled to any refund of dues<br />
<strong>and</strong> accrued interest thereon provided for in the existing retirement plans but<br />
such dues <strong>and</strong> accrued interest shall be applied towards the widows annuity provided<br />
for under this Plan.<br />
(15) Actuarial Reserves—When a widows annuity becomes effective, then<br />
out of the dues <strong>and</strong> accrued interest referred to in paragraph (14), out of the<br />
member contributions, <strong>and</strong> out of the convention contributions, there shall be<br />
set aside <strong>and</strong> thereafter maintained the actuarial equivalent of the widows annuity<br />
thus entered upon to be carried in an annuity reserve account to provide<br />
such annuity payments on the basis of the table of mortality <strong>and</strong> the rate of<br />
interest adopted by the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board for such purpose <strong>and</strong> then in<br />
force.<br />
(16) Reduction in Contributions—In the event that the widows annuities<br />
entered upon from year to year should require less annuity reserves than can<br />
be provided through the member <strong>and</strong> convention contributions provided in<br />
paragraphs (1) <strong>and</strong> (2), the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board shall so notify the convention<br />
with the view to increasing the amounts of the widows annuities or of reducing<br />
the required contributions.<br />
(17) Increase in Contributions—In the event that the widows annuities entered<br />
upon from year to year should require more annuity reserves than can be<br />
provided through the member contributions <strong>and</strong> conyention contributions provided<br />
in paragraphs (1) <strong>and</strong> (2), the additional amounts required shall be certified<br />
to the convention by the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board so that the reserve funds<br />
shall be sufficient at all times to provide the widows annuities outlined herein,<br />
but if such additional amounts as may be required are not provided, then the<br />
widows annuities payable shall be proportionately reduced in accordance with<br />
the resources available to meet such reduced payments.<br />
(18) Disability of Member—In the event that the member enters upon a<br />
disability annuity under one of the retirement plans, the convention shall continue<br />
the convention contributions <strong>and</strong> shall assume also the member contributions<br />
on the salary basis upon which the contributions were paid during the year<br />
immediately preceding commencement of the disability annuity in order that<br />
the widow of such member may receive continued protection under this Plan.<br />
(19) Administration by Annuity Board—It is understood <strong>and</strong> agreed that<br />
the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board of the Southern Baptist Convention shall administer<br />
the Plan on behalf of the convention <strong>and</strong> that the widows annuities<br />
payable hereunder are contingent upon the receipt by the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity<br />
no Board financial of the obligations required contributions are assumed of by the the member Relief <strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> the Annuity convention Board <strong>and</strong> other<br />
that
472 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
than those provided by the member <strong>and</strong> convention contributions actually received<br />
by the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board.<br />
(20) Administration Expenses—The Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board shall have<br />
the right to draw on the convention contributions for an amount not to exceed<br />
one-fourth of 1% of the salary bases of the members in a given year, to be<br />
applied towards the expenses of the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board in administering<br />
the Plan.<br />
(21) Amendment of Plan—As outlined above it is the objective of the<br />
Plan to establish throughout the Southern Baptist Convention a uniform program<br />
providing annuities for widows of members who die before entering upon<br />
an age retirement annuity or while receiving a disability retirement annuity.<br />
The right to amend or modify is inherent in the Plan, However, in the interest<br />
of continued uniformity no amendment or modification of the Plan should be<br />
made without the approval of the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board <strong>and</strong> of a majority<br />
of the participating conventions. Therefore, it is hereby provided that any<br />
amendment or modification of the Plan that may be deemed necessary shall be<br />
subject to the approval of the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board <strong>and</strong> of a majority of<br />
the participating conventions; <strong>and</strong> it is further provided that such amendment<br />
or modification of the Plan shall become effective only after <strong>six</strong>ty (60) days<br />
notice in writing by the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board to the participating conventions<br />
<strong>and</strong> members <strong>and</strong> that such amendment or modification shall not<br />
affect any obligations incurred on account of disabled members or annuities to<br />
widows of members incurred prior to the effective date of such amendment or<br />
modification.<br />
(22) Discontinuance of Plan—The Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board shall have the<br />
right to discontinue the Plan upon notice of one year in writing to the participating<br />
convention <strong>and</strong> members; or, a participating convention shall have the<br />
right to discontinue the Plan upon notice of one year in writing to the Relief<br />
<strong>and</strong> Annuity Board, provided that such discontinuance of the Plan shall not<br />
affect any obligations incurred on account of disabled members or annuities to<br />
widows of members incurred prior to the effective date of such discontinuance.<br />
(23) Participation Required for Inauguration of Plan—The Plan shall not<br />
become effective until at least two-thirds of the eligible persons shall have<br />
agreed to participate <strong>and</strong> the first payments of the member contributions <strong>and</strong><br />
convention contributions shall have been made to the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board.<br />
, ,^ 4) . A Texas Contract—This agreement shall be a Texas contract, <strong>and</strong><br />
shall be interpreted under the laws of the State of Texas.<br />
Plan "B" presents a different type actuarial problem. The individuals el<br />
ble for membership in this plan have a somewhat higher age average, which fact<br />
increases the cost of the protection offered. Instead of eliminating the men in<br />
higher age brackets from participation in the plan, the slight step-up in dues in<br />
Plan "A" at ages 60 to 70 will go into effect in this plan at ages 50 <strong>and</strong> 60.<br />
Otherwise, the two plans are alike as to eligibility, dues to be paid, b<br />
offered, transfer privileges, etc. But Plan "B" cannot be inaugurated by the<br />
Board until at least two-thirds of the individuals in a given group <strong>and</strong> two-thirds<br />
of the groups have agreed to participate.<br />
Explanatory Notes<br />
1. Purpose of the Plan<br />
This plan has but one purpose. It provides income for the member's widow<br />
when the member dies before entering upon a retirement annuity.<br />
2. Eligibility<br />
Members in any contributory retirement plan of the Board makes any<br />
married man eligible for membership in this plan.<br />
3. The Protection the Plan Offers<br />
The maximum widows annuity will be 40% of the potential age retirement<br />
annuity, the amount of which shall be 50% of the average of the salary bases<br />
upon which the member <strong>and</strong> the convention contributions had been paid under<br />
the widows annuity plan, subject to the limiting provisions in Paraffranhs 7<br />
<strong>and</strong> 8.<br />
y
RELIEF AND ANNUITY BOARD 473<br />
4. Cost of the Plan<br />
a. The cost of this protection is set at 3% of the member's salary, up to<br />
a maximum of $4,000.00, except as hereinbefore noted. The member pays half<br />
the cost, his employer (board, institution, or other employing agency) contributes<br />
the other half. The local church served by a pastor is not called upon<br />
to make any contribution to this plan.<br />
b. The 3% cost must be paid every year to continue protection the ensuing<br />
year. Upon retirement, the member ceases payment of dues in the widows plan<br />
<strong>and</strong> the plan ceases to operate so far as he is concerned.<br />
c. Actuarial studies indicate the 3% dues to be actual cost. Thus the<br />
plan creates no reserves accruing, to the member's credit. His money buys protection<br />
on a yearly basis, <strong>and</strong>, if he lives, he has received what he paid for in<br />
the dividends of peace of mind <strong>and</strong> a deepening sense of security. If he<br />
dies, his widow receives an annuity to be paid her as long as she lives, ceasing<br />
only in event of her re-marriage.<br />
d. Operating experience may reveal the 3% dues to be more or less than<br />
sufficient to defray costs involved. Accordingly, the provisions in Paragraphs<br />
16 <strong>and</strong> 17 must be borne in mind at all times.<br />
State units of Ministers Retirement Plan or other groups desiring to enter<br />
the plan should begin work at once if they hope to complete the work necessary<br />
for entrance on July 1, 1946.
WOMAN'S MISSIONARY UNION<br />
COVERING CALENDAR YEAR OF 1945<br />
"We've a Story to Tell to the Nations"<br />
Realizing that both the Old <strong>and</strong> New Testaments tell thrilling stories of<br />
the power of music in the promotion of the Kingdom of God, it has long been<br />
the custom of Woman's Missionary Union to adopt an annual hymn for the<br />
united use of its organizations among the women <strong>and</strong> young people in* southern<br />
Baptist churches. The one selected for this year seems exceptionally timely—<br />
"We've a story to tell to the nations,<br />
That shall turn their hearts to the right:<br />
A story of truth <strong>and</strong> sweetness,<br />
A story of peace <strong>and</strong> light!"<br />
The many missionary teachings of this hymn are herewith used to set forth<br />
the Union's work during the past calendar year.<br />
"THE PATH or SORROW"<br />
Scarcely had a quarter of the year passed when the summons, "Come up<br />
higher," came to the Union's president, Mrs. F. W. Armstrong. For twelve<br />
years she had led the Union with exceptional ability, even as for eighteen years<br />
she had served as a member of the Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist<br />
Convention. Her departure was a great loss also to the Baptist World<br />
Alliance, on several committees of which she rendered distinguished service<br />
while she was the Union's president. The last of these international undertakings<br />
was her enthusiastic approval of the plan to send individual boxes of<br />
food <strong>and</strong> clothing to suffering Baptists in Italy. So heartily did she endorse<br />
the plan that she got it recommended by the Union's Executive Committee<br />
<strong>and</strong> other W.M.U. leaders as an immediate opportunity for our members to<br />
demonstrate the "story of peace" in behalf of Italians. By her thoughtful<br />
editorials she explained the plan in our widely circulated Royal Service; in her<br />
home she gathered the members of her own society for the packing of many<br />
of the relief boxes. We love to think that up in Heaven she has learned of<br />
the Italian Baptists' gratitude not only for the boxes she personally provided<br />
but also for the well-nigh countless others made possible by her endorsement<br />
<strong>and</strong> enthusiasm. Likewise she may now know that" such benevolence is blessing<br />
Baptists of Jugoslavia too.<br />
"A STORY or TRUTH AND SWEETNESS"<br />
One of the most encouraging by-products of the relief boxes to Italy has<br />
been the increasing interest in W.M.U. work in the Baptist churches there.<br />
The current report of the Foreign Mission Board will doubtless record this<br />
"story of truth <strong>and</strong> sweetness" as well as that of progress in countless other way?<br />
on the many mission fields. Through the years it has been the custom of<br />
Woman's Missionary Union to promote concerted study of books revealing<br />
mission facts <strong>and</strong> challenges. Last year shows a gain of 2431 in a total of<br />
52,699 mission study classes for W.M.U. organizations, the gain being all the<br />
more gratifying because it was almost evenly divided among the women <strong>and</strong><br />
young people. It is certain that at least 2598 of the classes were held by the<br />
A-l Woman's Missionary Societies, since no society can be A-l unless it holds<br />
at least two mission study classes during the year. However, it is safe to<br />
say that a majority of the A-l societies have circles, even as it is definitely<br />
known that a vast number of less st<strong>and</strong>ardized societies do, <strong>and</strong> that it is a<br />
rather general policy to promote mission study through the circles. There<br />
are 14,327 circles, it being often true that one society has ten or more; knowing<br />
that many circles have at least one mission study class each a year, it is<br />
easy to calculate ten such classes for a certain society <strong>and</strong> thus realize that<br />
many of the mission study classes were [474]<br />
held in such societies <strong>and</strong> that a host<br />
\ of other \ societies last year failed to increase their members' knowledge of the<br />
"story of truth" that is graphically set forth in mission books.
WOMAN'S MISSIONARY UNION. 475<br />
In addition to class study there is also the opportunity to learn through<br />
the Union's Reading Courses <strong>and</strong> the Missionary Round Tables, the latter being<br />
essentially "set" for adult women who have a broad background of missions<br />
<strong>and</strong> also the time <strong>and</strong> desire to read <strong>and</strong> then discuss certain carefully selected<br />
books more fully than is possible in the usual mission study class.<br />
Likewise there is additional <strong>and</strong> regular study provided through the programs<br />
rendered each month by the many W.M.U. organizations. The programs<br />
for W.M.S. members are set forth in their magazine, Royal Service, the goal<br />
of which for 1946 is 175,065 renewals <strong>and</strong> new subscriptions. This anticipated<br />
increase of 5% seems quite reasonable because it has long been the habit of<br />
the magazine thus to enlarge its circulation at least 5% annually, the past year's<br />
record showing that every state except one went beyond its goal, the combined<br />
victory being a gain of 21,773 in the all-time high total of 167,643 renewals<br />
<strong>and</strong> new subscriptions.<br />
"LIFT THEIR HEARTS TO THE LORD"<br />
Among the many helpful features of Royal Service is its W.M.U. Calendar<br />
of Prayer. Thus the women in their homes <strong>and</strong> societies are regularly reminded<br />
to "lift their hearts to the Lord" for S.B.C. home <strong>and</strong> foreign missionaries<br />
<strong>and</strong> for all phases of denominational life in its relationship to missions.<br />
The magazine also carries daily readings as suggested for the family altars<br />
<strong>and</strong> encourages even more intercession by listing under the words of Jesus,<br />
"Pray Ye," certain items for individual meditation.<br />
Upholding such regular prayer plans <strong>and</strong> in turn increasing the fervor of<br />
all who use such plans are the Union's three seasons of prayer. The one for<br />
state missions is usually held in the early fall, each state arranging its program<br />
<strong>and</strong> financial goal as it thinks best. All the states unite each March <strong>and</strong> then<br />
each December in the use of the Union's programs for the Week of Prayer<br />
for Home Missions <strong>and</strong> the Week of Prayer for Foreign Missions respectively,<br />
the combined offerings of each of these weeks being veritable life-giving<br />
streams in the work of the S.B.C. Home <strong>and</strong> Foreign Mission Boards. Last<br />
year the March offering, which is called the Annie Armstrong Offering in<br />
grateful tribute to the Union's first corresponding secretary, yielded $468,-<br />
801.54 for home missions. When added to the record as kept since 1907 the<br />
total, $3,643,682.39, is recognized as "marvelous in our eyes." Equally<br />
miraculous has been the total provided through the years since the Union in<br />
its beginning (1888) undertook a Christmas offering for foreign missions;<br />
this offering is now called the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, because it was<br />
Miss Lottie Moon who from far north China wrote the letter which called<br />
forth the original offering. The total for the many years, including the 1945<br />
record victory of $1,164,931.72, amounts to $8,421,397.40.<br />
Both the Foreign <strong>and</strong> Home Mission Boards are so certain of the constructive<br />
benefits resultant from these offerings <strong>and</strong> the prayers <strong>and</strong> study<br />
accompanying them that their secretaries urge the pastors <strong>and</strong> other promoters<br />
of Church Schools of Missions to arrange so that no such school will be held<br />
during these two seasons of prayer; similarly is it hoped that no such school<br />
will be held in any church when its state W.M.U. is observing its Season of<br />
Prayer for State Missions, the dates of which can be readily secured from<br />
the state W.M.U. headquarters. It may help to know at this time that the<br />
inclusive dates for the 1946 Week of Prayer for Foreign Missions are December<br />
2-6 <strong>and</strong> that the inclusive dates for the 1947 Week of Prayer for<br />
Home Missions are March 3-7. These dates might be further protected by<br />
quoting a "st<strong>and</strong>ing" statement in the W.M.U. Plan of Work: "Earnest effort<br />
should be made by the Woman's Missionary Society to guard against the<br />
holding of study courses or other activities during these seasons of prayer."<br />

tithes <strong>and</strong> offerings, including the ones of the three seasons of prayer but<br />

amounted to $6,517,321.87 which is a highly gratifying increase of $129,-<br />
723.31 over the 1944 record; of this total $3,469,588.65 was for undesignated<br />
Co-operative Program causes, which was an increase of $869,395.73 over the<br />
previous year.<br />
As an urge to larger contributions this year, the Union is seeking to enro<br />
among its women <strong>and</strong> young people at least one-third of the million tithers<br />
being sought by the denomination as a whole. The reaching of such a goal<br />
will call for real Christian zeal if the gains of last year as to W.MX. tithers<br />
are indices: the total number of tithers recorded last year among W.M.U.<br />
women <strong>and</strong> young people shows an appreciated gain of 6694 but in order to<br />
reach the 1946 goal of 333,333 W.M.U. tithers the gain this year will have to<br />
be ever so much larger since there are now only 177,871 W.M.U. tithers.<br />
Perhaps the simplest way to state how the 1946 goal may be reached would<br />
be to say: if each tither wins a tither the Union's third of the million will be<br />
more than attained. This goal is all the more commendable <strong>and</strong> attainable<br />
because the present enrolment of tithers among the 739,360 W.M.U. members<br />
provides a possibility of 561,489 new tithers. Last year's averages of W.M.U.<br />
tithers were as follows: one tither among 3.2 W.M.S. members <strong>and</strong> one tither<br />
among 6.6 of the youth members; the average for the youth members show?<br />
a gratifying .6 increase.<br />
"TURN THEIR HEARTS TO THE RIGHT"<br />
Just as the paying of tithes <strong>and</strong> the giving of offerings that "Christ's g<br />
Kingdom shall come on earth" bless both the one who thus contributes <strong>and</strong><br />
also the one who receives, likewise the giving of oneself in community missions<br />
accomplishes manifold good. For this reason <strong>and</strong> because Christ "went about<br />
doing good" <strong>and</strong> clearly stated that those "who follow in His train" will begin<br />
their witness right where they live, Woman's Missionary Union has for the<br />
past three dozen years specifically planned programs <strong>and</strong> projects to encourage<br />
its members, both adults <strong>and</strong> youths, to turn the hearts of their neighbors to<br />
the Lord. It will be remembered that one of the chief emphases of the S.B.C.<br />
Centennial Celebration was the winning of a million souls to Christ. Accordingly<br />
Woman's Missionary Union opened the Daees of Royal Service to articles<br />
by the S.B.C. promoters of the Centennial "Evangelistic Crusade, placed the<br />
winning of souls as the petition for the first Monday on the Calendar of Prayer<br />
each month, furnished articles <strong>and</strong> otherwise encouraged its members to open<br />
their homes for cottage prayer-meetings in preparation for or coincident with<br />
the revival services in their churches, urged the study of recommended books<br />
on soul-winning <strong>and</strong> kept calling attention to the fact that "the chief aim of<br />
community missions is to win souls." In all such "Christlike living in one's<br />
community" it is readily realized that in addition to individual efforts vast<br />
<strong>and</strong> often very permanent good is accomplished under the direction of the<br />
organization's Community Missions Committee. Accordingly each W.M.U.<br />
organization is urged to have such a committee or at least to have a director<br />
for its community missions. Last year there were 19,010 organizations that<br />
reported having done community missions, though 19,045 organizations reported<br />
that they had Community Missions Committees to direct such activities.<br />
Many of these committees definitely advocate the work done for the Jews<br />
through "The Friends of Israel" groups. Also the societies <strong>and</strong> their member?<br />
are urged to subscribe in the name of Jewish friends for The Mediator, price<br />
25c from Rev. Jacob Gartenhaus, 494 Spring Street N. W.. Atlanta 3, Ga.<br />
It is likewise true that from year to year the W.M.U. Literature Department<br />
contributes $60 to the "Postal Missions Fund" as h<strong>and</strong>led by Mr. Gartenhaus<br />
to supply Christian literature, including The Mediator, to yet other Jewish<br />
people. Similarly W.M.S. members are encouraged to help definitely the<br />
Negro Baptist women in their communities, so that their missionary organizations<br />
will function as finely as possible for their women <strong>and</strong> youne people.<br />
Among the periodicals which are thus regularly provided by W.M.U. organizations<br />

WOMAN'S MISSIONARY UNION 477<br />
Another way in which our Union seeks to turn its members' "hearts to the<br />
right" is through the having of St<strong>and</strong>ards of Excellence; the ones for the tiny<br />
Sunbeam B<strong>and</strong>s, for the Girls' Auxiliaries <strong>and</strong> the Royal Ambassador Chapters<br />
have eight points each; the one for Woman's Missionary Societies has ten<br />
points, as does also the St<strong>and</strong>ard for Young Woman's Auxiliaries except in the<br />
case of those in the colleges <strong>and</strong> hospitals where the point as to fostering<br />
another organization is not required. In spite of or perhaps because of the<br />
many points on their St<strong>and</strong>ards 4898 of our organizations last year reached<br />
Class A-l, which was a general average of one A-l organization among 8.4,<br />
the average for the women being one among 9.8 societies. The Order of<br />
Royal Ambassadors showed a gain in A-l Chapters.<br />
Unquestionably this Royal Ambassador victory was helped as were other<br />
W.M.U. achievements because Woman's Missionary Societies <strong>and</strong> Young Woman's<br />
Auxiliaries in the churches organized other young people <strong>and</strong> women.<br />
Thus last year's report shows 4782 new W.M.U. organizations of which 860<br />
were for women. Doubtless in these new organizations are enrolled many of<br />
the new members, gains being shown by both the women <strong>and</strong> the young people<br />
as to membership: 739,360 members of whom 400,464 are women.<br />
Since it is said that one in four American women is now in business, it is<br />
reasonable to believe that at least 100,000 southern Baptist women belong to<br />
the 2763 Business Woman's Circles of their Woman's Missionary Societies.'<br />
A special program is provided for them each month in Royal Service, they are<br />
urged to unite with other Baptist Business Woman's Circles <strong>and</strong> to attend the<br />
Southwide B.W.C. Conference at Ridgecrest. Their conference there this<br />
summer will be an important part of the W.M.U. Conference, the inclusive dates<br />
of which are August 8-14, thus being between the Home Mission Board Conference<br />
<strong>and</strong> the Foreign Mission Board Conference. The minimum goal for<br />
W.M.U. Conference attendance is 1400 of whom it is hoped that 500 will be<br />
from Business Woman's Circles; it is also believed that many of the women<br />
will arrive in time for the Home Mission Board Conference (August 1-7)<br />
<strong>and</strong> will linger for the Foreign Mission Board Conference (August 15-21),<br />
during which week the Young Men's Mission Conference will be held.<br />
It is- worthwhile to mention here that all W.M.S. circles except those for<br />
business women are urged to use for their monthly missionary programs much<br />
material as furnished by the S.B.C. publications, The Commission <strong>and</strong> Southern<br />
Baptist Home Missions. Such circle programs are outlined each month in<br />
Royal Service, specific articles being noted as furnished by the S.B.C. monthlies.<br />
All of the activities thus far discussed in this report have centered in only<br />
12,497 of the 24,976 churches that are listed as cooperating southern Baptist<br />
churches. While it is deeply regretted that almost one-half of the cooperating<br />
churches do not promote any definitely missionary organization for their<br />
women or young people it is heartening that the "better half" does. The<br />
records show that in each of almost one-fourth of them there is a Full Graded<br />
W.M.U. which means that each church maintains a Woman's Missionary Society*<br />
<strong>and</strong> at least one- organization of each grade as fostered by our Union for the<br />
young people; similarly almost one-<strong>six</strong>th of these churches have four each of<br />
our organizations, over one-eighth have three each, nearly one-ninth have<br />
two each, while 4539 of these churches have one each which is apt to be a<br />
Woman's Missionary Society though there are instances where a Sunbeam<br />
B<strong>and</strong> or a Girls' Auxiliary is the only definitely missionary organization in a<br />
church. Eagerly, "THE yearningly DARKNESS do we SHALL long TURN to have TO all DAWNING" the cooperating churches<br />

Sunbeam B<strong>and</strong>s celebrate their <strong>six</strong>tieth anniversary. This organization for<br />
children of four to nine years was started by Dr. George Braxton Taylor,<br />
pastor, son of our pioneer missionaries to Italy, gr<strong>and</strong>son of the first secretary<br />
of the Foreign Mission Board. In 1886 he gathered together the children<br />
of his congregation at Fairmont, Virginia, <strong>and</strong> selected the name Sunbeams<br />
for his organization which studied missions, country by country, using ques-
478 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
tions <strong>and</strong> answers which he supplied, catechism fashion. Other churches followed<br />
his plan rapidly; the Foreign Mission Board gave space in its Journal<br />
for his Lessons, signed "Cousin George." When more Sunbeam B<strong>and</strong>s were<br />
started than he could care for, he turned the growing movement over to the<br />
Foreign Mission Board, who in 1896 h<strong>and</strong>ed the responsibility to Woman's<br />
Missionary Union.<br />
Woman's Missionary Union has continued to follow the fundamentals established<br />
in early Sunbeam B<strong>and</strong> days. This year a new <strong>and</strong> enlarged Manual<br />
for Leaders of Sunbeam B<strong>and</strong>s has been distributed; it was written by Mrs. Jane<br />
Carroll (J. T.) McRae, specialist in elementary education, herself a Sunbeam<br />
member not too many years ago <strong>and</strong> now with her husb<strong>and</strong>, medical mission<br />
volunteer. We anticipate that this manual will greatly improve the work of<br />
our 6920 Sunbeam B<strong>and</strong>s with more fruitful results in missionary zeal, as well<br />
as create interest in the organization of more Sunbeam B<strong>and</strong>s. With 105,162<br />
Sunbeam B<strong>and</strong> members <strong>and</strong> 885 A-l Sunbeam B<strong>and</strong>s, some churches are<br />
providing excellent missionary education during these strategically formative<br />
years; this is promise of more light for our weary world.<br />
Girls' Auxiliary members numbering 115,385 in 10,378 G. A.'s, sing repeatedly<br />

Coronation services give merited recognition to individual work—<br />
accomplishment of the required Scripture memorization, discovery of mission<br />
facts, study of denominational plans, personnel <strong>and</strong> program of world-wide<br />
activities.<br />
In 4605 Young Woman's Auxiliaries, 58,861 young women continued to<br />
develop their zeal for missions, remembering Daniel 12:3 as their watchword.<br />
Young Woman's Auxiliary has organizations in at least 138 colleges <strong>and</strong><br />
hospitals which keep the missionary appeal before these students also. Young<br />
women of today will soon be exerting determinative influences in world affairs<br />
<strong>and</strong> it is reassuring to feel that in Young Woman's Auxiliary they are receiving<br />
world underst<strong>and</strong>ing which will make them true world citizens, using their zeal<br />
for Christ's Kingdom.<br />
The growth of Order of Royal Ambassadors is most gratifying. While<br />
this organization uses the symbolism of knighthood <strong>and</strong> international ambassador<br />
relationships, definitely based on Paul's "I am an ambassador for Christ."<br />
it assures the spreading of the light of the Gospel, for 59,488 boys are members<br />
of its 6590 chapters <strong>and</strong> will not fail to lift high the torch of Gospel light.<br />
The work of Mr. J. I. Bishon, southwide Royal Ambassador secretary, is supplemented<br />
in five states by Royal Ambassador secretaries.—Mr. Alvin Hatton.<br />
Ark.; Mr. Glendon McCulloueh, Ga.; Mr. John Wrenn, Kv.; Mr. A. T. Greene.<br />
Jr., S. C: Mr. W. M. Haverfield, Tex. A Royal Ambassador monthly magazine,<br />
Ambassador Life, will be launched this summer, the June issue being Volume 1.<br />
Number 1. Ambasfador Life was named in an open request for a suitable name<br />
by Bob Lutz of Biloxi, Mississippi A magazine of their own will add to the<br />
pride boys have in their progressive missionary organization <strong>and</strong> no doubt<br />
more than 1335 chapters will be A-l in their activities. Many ex-R.A's. returning<br />
from the armed services are glad to serve as Roval Ambassador counselors,<br />
grateful for the help the R. A. Allegiance <strong>and</strong> information gained in R. A.<br />
were to them in the tense experiences of military training <strong>and</strong> service.<br />
Last summer though there was no southwide Y.W.A. Camp or Young Men'?<br />
Mission Conference at Ridgecrest there were some 30.000 young people in<br />
distinctly missionary-centered camps conducted by state, district or associational<br />
W.M.U. organizations. This camping program has grown with leaps <strong>and</strong> bounds<br />
<strong>and</strong> will certainly add to the exp<strong>and</strong>ing circle of mission light. Similar camps<br />
are being undertaken successfully in Nigeria, Brazil <strong>and</strong> elsewhere as quickly<br />
as possible. The value of days of living in an environment of mission thoueht<br />
<strong>and</strong> prayer, with mission classes <strong>and</strong> missionary speakers, is inestimable. Miss<br />
Martha Franks of China, who spent the summer of 1945 in a succession of<br />
Girls' Auxiliary camps, remarked she had never had such opportunity, China<br />
included, to witness for Christ <strong>and</strong> His way of life.<br />

"A SAVIOUR TO SHOW"<br />
If we fathom or even sense the purpose of Woman's Missionary Union,<br />
then we can confidently say that we consider that all of the activities as set<br />
forth in this report are promoted because our members know that "we've a<br />
Saviour to show to the nations." That's why we reaffirm that our Union is an<br />
auxiliary to the Southern Baptist Convention, that's why we seek to promote<br />
every undertaking of the Convention <strong>and</strong> in addition to maintain two other<br />
causes that are vital particularly to the Convention's Home <strong>and</strong> Foreign Mission<br />
Boards. One of these causes is the W.M.U. Training School, located in<br />
Louisville, Kentucky, on a seven-acre site adjoining the property of the Southern<br />
Baptist Theological Seminary, all of whose classes are open to students of<br />
our School. Only college graduates are eligible for enrolment in our School,<br />
the present number being 228. The other definitely W.M.U. cause is our<br />
Margaret Fund for assisting S.B.C. home <strong>and</strong> foreign missionaries in the<br />
education of their sons <strong>and</strong> daughters, preferably during their college years.<br />
Since 1916, a total of 532 young people have received scholarships at an expenditure<br />
of $472,314.07. Despite the disruption of war eighty-seven young<br />
people received scholarships during the scholastic year 1945-46 at a total cost<br />
of $20,000. Scholarships are granted for postgraduate work, to young men for<br />
seminary work <strong>and</strong> to young women for training school study <strong>and</strong> nursing.<br />
Medical loans are granted students who expect to go as medical missionaries<br />
under the Foreign Mission Board.<br />
In maintaining the Margaret Fund <strong>and</strong> the W.M.U. Training School there<br />
is one consuming passion—namely, to guide young lives into definitely Christian<br />
service either in home or foreign l<strong>and</strong>s. Several graduates of our School's<br />
senior class this year <strong>and</strong> one of its instructors have thus volunteered for<br />
foreign service, even as certain of the Margaret Fund students purpose to invest<br />
their lives. Each month this year in our Calendar of Prayer we are devoting<br />
the first Monday's petition to the urgency for mission volunteers <strong>and</strong><br />
the need of encouragement by their parents that they "follow the gleam";<br />
also the need is being emphasized by specially prepared articles in our magazines<br />
for both the women <strong>and</strong> young people, by talks <strong>and</strong> demonstrations at<br />
our southwide <strong>and</strong> state meetings this year <strong>and</strong> by having "A Call for Volunteers"<br />
as the theme for the W.M.U. Conference at Ridgecrest.<br />
Why do we love <strong>and</strong> rejoice in all such work, why do we feel the urge to<br />
promote it? Because God "sent His Son to save us" <strong>and</strong> because thus "we've a<br />
Saviour to show to the nations" beginning with our own, that "Christ's great<br />
Kingdom shall come on earth, the Kingdom of love <strong>and</strong> light!"<br />

PROGRESS OF SOUTHERN<br />
BAPTISTS IN 1945<br />
PORTER ROUTH, Secretary<br />
DEPARTMENT OF SURVEY, STATISTICS, AND INFORMATION<br />
Baptist Sunday School Board<br />
Southern Baptists celebrated their Convention Centennial year with numerical<br />
gains in all areas of activity, <strong>and</strong> the largest gain in church membership in<br />
the history of the denomination. Church membership climbed 205,362 during<br />
the year to reach 5,865,554.<br />
Per capita gifts to missions climbed thirty per cent over the 1944 amount to<br />
reach $3.83, the second highest amount in Southern Baptist history. The high<br />
mark of $4.45 per capita for missions was made in 1920, during the heat of<br />
the Seventy-Five Million campaign. Per capita gifts for local work reached a<br />
new record level of $12.95, a 28.1 per cent increase over 1944 gifts.<br />
The goal to win a million for Christ during the Centennial year was not<br />
reached. The total reported for baptism during the 1945 associational year was<br />
256,699, slightly below 1938, <strong>and</strong> nearly 13,000 below the record 269,155<br />
reported in 1939: However, the 1945 results snowed a gain of 39,879 over the<br />
1944 total of 216,820.<br />
For the first time, the number of co-operating Baptist churches in the<br />
Southern Baptist Convention territory passed the 26,000 mark to reach 26,134,<br />
a gain of 281 over those reported in the 1944 state minutes. Six <strong>hundred</strong><br />
seventy-two additional ministers were reported to reach 24,577.<br />
Sunday school enrolment gained 152,401 to show 3,525,310, short 65,064<br />
the 1940 record enrolment of 3,590,374. There are now 24,968 Sunday schools,<br />
a gain of 459 within the year.<br />
Taking the figures as reported in the associational minutes for 1944, the<br />
Training Union showed a gain of 87,620. The total enrolment is now 703,332.<br />
However, the published figures for 1944 for the Training Union were reached by<br />
taking both the figures from the minutes <strong>and</strong> the records of the state Training<br />
Union secretaries. The final 1944 published figure was 759,885 as compared<br />
with 615,712 reported only by the minutes. Since the record of each church<br />
will be given in the H<strong>and</strong>book, only the report as made in the associational<br />
minutes will be reported in the future.<br />
The number of W.M.U. organizations climbed from 39,667 to 41,227 within<br />
the year. W.M.U. contributions to missions <strong>and</strong> benevolences grew from<br />
$6,387,599 to $6,517,322. We are grateful to the Southwide W.M.U. organization<br />
for supplying these figures.<br />
The tightening housing situation is reflected in the fact that an additional<br />
370 homes were bought for pastors during the year to bring the total to 5,395.<br />
The $16,555,762 increase in church property valuation during 1945 brings the<br />
new total to $276,089,771. This gain not only indicates the resumption of<br />
building <strong>and</strong> buying on the part of churches to meet growing pains, but also<br />
indicates that present property is being given a higher paper valuation in line<br />
with inflation trends.<br />
Gifts for missions, education, <strong>and</strong> benevolence in 1945 were $22,490,751,<br />
a gain of $5,190,362 over 1944. Gifts for local work were $75,967,674, a gain<br />
of $16,679,448 over 1944. Total gifts for all purposes amounted to $98,458,425<br />
in 1945, or $16.78 per capita. [493]

the Gospel, agree to the following rules, or fundamental principles:<br />
ARTICLE I. This body shall be styled the Southern Baptist Contention.<br />
ART. II. It shall be the design of this Convention to promote Foreign<br />
<strong>and</strong> Domestic Missions, <strong>and</strong> other important objects connected with<br />
the Redeemer's kingdom, <strong>and</strong> to combine for this purpose, such portions<br />

organization for Christian benevolence, which shall fully iespect the<br />
independence <strong>and</strong> equal rights of the Churches.<br />

contribute funds, or are delegated by religious bodies contributing funds,<br />
<strong>and</strong> the system of representation <strong>and</strong> terms of membership shall be as<br />

FRIDAY MORXIXC;, May 9th, S o'clock.<br />
The Convention met. Prayer by Bro. J. B. Taylor.<br />
Several communications received through the President, were presented<br />
<strong>and</strong> read.<br />
Bro. J. L. Burrows, appeared as a corresponding delegate from the<br />
American Baptist Publication Society, <strong>and</strong> the Pennsylvania Baptist<br />
State Convention, <strong>and</strong> was invited to participate with us.<br />
The report of the committee, under discussion at the lime of adjournment<br />
yesterday, was taken up, <strong>and</strong> after a full, free <strong>and</strong> harmonious discussion,<br />
the preamble <strong>and</strong> lcsoluliou were separately adopted, by the<br />
unanimous vote of the Convention, as follows :<br />
" The committee lo whom it has been referred lo report a preamble <strong>and</strong><br />
resolutions, cannot but express their profound sense of the responsibility<br />
resting upon your body at the present eventful crisis, as the integrity of<br />
the nation, the interests of truth, <strong>and</strong> the sacred cntcrprizc of converting<br />
the heathen, arc all involved in your deliberations. That this Convention<br />
was imperatively dem<strong>and</strong>ed, must be apparent to all. The Boston<br />
Board have, in their answer to the Alabama resolutions, most clearly <strong>and</strong><br />
unnecessarily exceeded then power <strong>and</strong> violated their trust.<br />
" It is a question admitting no debate, that the Triennial Convention<br />
was formed on the principle of a perfect equality of members, from the<br />
South aud North. And what is all important, the very qualifications of<br />
missionaries arc prescribed by the original constitution of that Convention,—the<br />
fifth article providing that " such persons as arc in full communion<br />
with some regular church of our denomination, <strong>and</strong> who furnish<br />
satisfactory evidence of genuine piety, good talents <strong>and</strong> fervent zeal for<br />
the Redeemer's cause, are lo be employed as missionaries."<br />
" Besides this, too, the declaiatiou of the Board, that if " any one should<br />
offer himself as a missionary, having slaves, <strong>and</strong> should insist on retaining<br />
them as his property, wc cotdd not appoint him," is an innovation <strong>and</strong> a<br />
departure from the course hitherto pursued by the Triennial Convention,
PROCEEDINGS OF 1845 669<br />

(such persons having been appointed.) And lastly, the decision of the<br />
Board is an infraction of the resolution passed the last spring, in Philadelphia;<br />
<strong>and</strong> the General Boatd at their late meeting in Providence, have<br />
failed to reverse this decision.<br />
"Amidst such circumstances, your committee esteem it absolutely necessary,<br />
that the friends of the Constitution of the Triennial Convention,<br />
<strong>and</strong> the lovers of the Bible, shall at once take their st<strong>and</strong>, <strong>and</strong> assert the<br />
great catholic principles of that Constitution, <strong>and</strong> of the Word of God.<br />
"Your committee therefore submit the following resolution, as embodying<br />
all that they are now prepared to suggest to your body :•<br />
" Resolved, That for peace <strong>and</strong> haimony, <strong>and</strong> in order to accomplish<br />
the greatest amount of good, <strong>and</strong> for the maintainance of those scriptural<br />
principles on which the General Missionary Convention of the Baptist<br />
denomination of the United States, was originally formed, it is proper<br />
that this Convention at once proceed to organize a Society for the propagation<br />
of the Gospel."<br />

PROCEEDINGS OF 1845 673<br />
THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION,<br />
To the Brethren in the United States ; to the congregations connected<br />
with the respective Churches ; <strong>and</strong> to all c<strong>and</strong>id men.<br />
A painful division has taken place in the missionary operations of the American Baptists.<br />
We would explain the origin, the principles <strong>and</strong> the objects of that division, or the<br />
peculiar circumstances in which the organization of the Southern Baptist Convention became<br />
necessary.<br />
Let not the extent of this disunion be exaggerated. At the present time it involves only<br />
the Foreign <strong>and</strong> Domestic Missions of the denomination. Northern <strong>and</strong> Southern Baptists<br />
are still brethren. They difTer in no article of the faith. They are guided by the same<br />
principles of gospel order. Fanatical attempts have indeed been made, in some quarters,<br />
to exclude us of the South from christian fellowship. We do not retort these attempts;<br />
<strong>and</strong> believe their extent to be comparatively limited. Our christian fellowship is not, as<br />
we feel, a matter to be obtruded on any one. We abide by that of our God, his dear Son,<br />
<strong>and</strong> all his baptized followers. • The few ultra Northern brethren to whom we allude, must<br />
take what course they please. Their conduct has not influenced us in this movement.- We<br />
do not regard the rupture as extending to foundation principles, nor can we think that the<br />
great body of our Northern brethren will so regard it. Disunion has proceeded, however,<br />
deplorably far. The first part of our duty is to show that its entire origin is with others.<br />
This is its history.<br />
I. The General Convention of the Baptist denomination of the United States was composed<br />
of brethren from every part of the American Republic. Its Constitution knows no<br />
. difference between slaveholders <strong>and</strong> non-slaveholders. Nor during the period of its existence,<br />
for the last thirty years, has it, in practice, known any thing of this distinction. Both<br />
parlies have contributed steadily <strong>and</strong> largely (if hover adequately) to those funds which are<br />
the basis of its constituency ; both have yielded its office-bearers of all grades ; its missionaries<br />
<strong>and</strong> translators of God's word ; its men of toils many, <strong>and</strong> of prayers not unavailing,<br />
abroad <strong>and</strong> at home. The honored dead of both these classes have walked in closest sympathy<br />
with each other; anticipating in the Board-room <strong>and</strong> in the Monthly Concert, that<br />
higher, but not holier union now in their case consummated. Throughout the entire management<br />
of its early affairs, the whole struggle with its early difficulties, there was no<br />
breath of discord between them. Its Richard Furman <strong>and</strong> its Wm. Staughton, its Jesse<br />
Mercer <strong>and</strong> its Thomas Baldwin, led on the sacramental host shoulder to shoulder, <strong>and</strong><br />
heart to heart. Their rivalry being only in earnest efforts for a common cause, their entire<br />
aversions <strong>and</strong> enmities were directed with all the strength of their souls, against the common<br />
foe. And to the last, did they not cherish the strong belief that they left no other<br />
enmities or aversions ; no other rivalry to their successors?<br />
In particular, a special rule of the Constitution defines who may be missionaries, viz :<br />
" Such persons only as are in full communion with some church in our denomination; <strong>and</strong><br />
who furnish satisfactory evidence of genuine piety, good talents, <strong>and</strong> fervent zeal for the<br />
Redeemer's cause." Now, while under this rule the slaveholder has been, in his turn,<br />
employed as a missionary, it is not alledged that any other persons than those above described,<br />
have been appointed. Moreover, the important post of a superintendent of the<br />
education of native missionaries, has been assigned, with universal approbation, to the pastor<br />
of one of our largest slavcholding churches.<br />
But an evil hour arrived. Even our humble efforts in the conquest of the world to God,<br />
excited the accuser of our brethren to cast discord among us ; <strong>and</strong> in the last two Triennial<br />
Conventions, slavery <strong>and</strong> anti-slavery men began to draw off on different sides. How<br />
did the nobler spirits on each side endeavor to meet this? They proposed <strong>and</strong> carried almost<br />
unanimously, the following explicit resolution :
674 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
18 ADDRESS OF THE CONVENTION.<br />
"Resolved, That in co-operating together, as members of this Convention, in the work of<br />
foreign missions, we disclaim all sanction, either expressed or implied, whether of slavery<br />
or anti-slavery ; but as individuals, we are free to express <strong>and</strong> to promote, elsewhere, our<br />
views on these subjects, in a christian manner <strong>and</strong> spirit."<br />
Our successors will find it difficult to believe that so important <strong>and</strong> plain a declaration<br />
had become, before the close of the first year of the triennial period, a perfect nullity.<br />
In December last, the acting Board of the Convention, at Boston, adopted a new qualification<br />
for missionaries, a new special rule, viz: that " If any one who shall offer himself for<br />
a missionary, having slaves, should insist on retaining them as his property, they could not<br />
appoint him." " One thing is certain," they continue, " we could never be a party to any<br />
arrangement which implies approbation of slavery."<br />
We pray our brethren <strong>and</strong> all c<strong>and</strong>id men to mark the date of this novel rule—the close<br />
of the first <strong>six</strong> months of their three years' power, a date at which the compromise resolution<br />
could scarcely have reached our remoter mission stations. If usurpation had been intended,<br />
could it have been more fitly timed? An usurpation of ecclesiastical power quite<br />
foreign to our polity. Such power was assumed at a period when the aggrieved " thous<strong>and</strong>s<br />
of Israel" had, as it now appears, no'practical remedy. Its obvious tendency was, either<br />
our final subjugation to that power, or a serious interruption of the flow of Southern-benevolence.<br />
Tfie latter was the far more probable evil; <strong>and</strong> the Boston Board knew this<br />
well. They were from various quarters apprised of it. We, on the other h<strong>and</strong>, did not<br />
move in the matter of a new organization until three liberal States had refused to send<br />
northward any more contributions. Our leaders had chosen new rules. Thus came war<br />
within our gates : while the means of war on the common enemy were daily diminishing.<br />
By this decision, the Board had placed itself in direct opposition to the Constitution of<br />
the Convention. The only reason given for this extraordinary <strong>and</strong> unconstitutional dictum<br />
being—that " The appointing power for wise <strong>and</strong> good purposes, is confided to the acting<br />
Board." On such a slight show of authority, this Board undertook to declare thai to be a<br />
disqualification in one who should offer himself for a missionary, which the Convention<br />
had said shall not be a disqualification. It had also expressly given its sanction lo antislavery<br />
opinions, <strong>and</strong> impliedly fixed its condemnation on slavery, although the Convention<br />
had said that " neither " should be done. And further, it forbade those who shall apply<br />
for a missionary appointment, to " express <strong>and</strong> promote elsewhere " their views on the<br />
subject of slavery in a right " manner <strong>and</strong> spirit, " when the Convention declared they<br />
" were free " to do so. These brethren, thus acted upon a sentiment they have failed to<br />
prove—That slavery is, in all circumstances, sinful. Whereas their own solemn resolution<br />
in the last Convention, (their's as much as our's) left us free to promote slavery. Was not<br />
this leaving us free, <strong>and</strong> " in a Christian spirit <strong>and</strong> manner " to promote that which in their<br />
hearts, <strong>and</strong> according to the present shewing of their conduct, they regard as a sin?<br />
Enough, perhaps, has been said of the origin of this movement. Were we asked to<br />
characterize the conduct of our Northern brethren in one short phrase, we should adopt<br />
that of the Apostle. It was " FORBIDDIXC US to speak UNTO THE GENTILES." Did this deny<br />
us no privilege? Did it not obstruct us, lay a kind of Romish interdict upon us in the discharge<br />
of an imperative duty; a duty to which the church has been, after the lapse of<br />
ages, awakened universally <strong>and</strong> successfully ; a duty the very object, <strong>and</strong> only object, of<br />
our long cherished connection <strong>and</strong> confederation ?<br />
And this would seem the place to state, that our Northern brethren were dealt with as<br />
brethren to the last moment. Several of our churches cherished the hope that by means<br />
of remonstrance <strong>and</strong> expostulation, through the last Annual Meeting of the Board of Managers,<br />
at Providence, the Acting Board might be brought to feel the grievous wrong they<br />
had inflicted. The Managing Board was therefore affectionately <strong>and</strong> respectfully addressed<br />
on the subject, <strong>and</strong> was entreated to revise <strong>and</strong> reverse the obnoxious interdict. Alas !<br />
the results were—contemptuous silence as to the application made ; <strong>and</strong> a deliberate resolve,<br />
expressing sympathy with the Acting Board, <strong>and</strong> a determination to sustain them.<br />

conservative; white they are also, as we trust, equitable <strong>and</strong> liberal. They propose to do<br />
the Lord's work in the way our fath-rs did it. Its title designates at once its origin, <strong>and</strong><br />
the simple, firm abiding of the South on the ground from which it has been so unconstitutionally<br />
<strong>and</strong> unjustly attempted to eject us. We have but enquired for " the old paths " of<br />
missionary operations ; " asked " for, <strong>and</strong> attempted to restore the practically " good way. "<br />
The Constitution we adopt is precisely that of the original union ; that in connection with<br />
which, throughout his missionary life, Adoniram Judson has lived, <strong>and</strong> under which Ann<br />
Judson <strong>and</strong> Boardman have died. We recede from it no single step. We have constructed<br />
for our basis no new creed; acting in this matter upon a Baptist aversion for all creeds<br />
but the Bible. We use the very terms, as we uphold the true spirit <strong>and</strong> great object of the<br />
late " General Convention of the Baptist denomination of the United States. " It is they<br />
who wrong us that have receded. We have receded neither from the Constitution nor<br />
from any part of the original ground on which we met them in this work, And if, we ask<br />
in parting, the original <strong>and</strong> broad Bible ground of confederation were not equitable, how<br />
came it so nobly <strong>and</strong> so long to be acted upon ? If equitable, why depart from it ?<br />
We claim to have acted in the premises, with liberality towards our Northern brethren.<br />
Thrust from the common platform of equal rights, between the Northern <strong>and</strong> Southern<br />
churches, we have but reconstructed that platform. Content with it, we adhere to it, <strong>and</strong><br />
reproduce it, as broad enough for us <strong>and</strong> for them. Have they thrust us off? We retain<br />
but one feeling in the case. That we will not practically leave it on any account: much less<br />
in obedience to such usurped authority, or in deference to such a manifest breach of trust<br />
as is here involved. A breach of covenant that looks various ways—heavenward <strong>and</strong><br />
earthward. For we repeat, THEY WOULD FOREID US TO speak unto THE GENTILES. The<br />
Jerusalem church, then, must be regathered at the suspected Samaria, or at some new centre<br />
of operations, like Antioch. " One thing is certain "—We must go every where preaching<br />
the word.—" We can never be a party to any arrangement " for monopolizing the Gospel<br />
: any arrangement which like that of the Autocratical Interdict of the North, would<br />
first drive us from our beloved colored people, of whom they prove that they know<br />
nothing comparatively, <strong>and</strong> from the much-wronged Aborigines of the country;—<strong>and</strong> then<br />
cut us off from the whitening fields of the heathen harvest-labor; to which by cogent appeals<br />
<strong>and</strong> solemn prayers, they have so often protested that, without us, they were inade<br />
quate.<br />
III. Our OBJECTS, then, are the extension of the Messiah's kingdom, <strong>and</strong> the glory of bur<br />
God. Not disunion with any of his people; not the upholding of any form of human<br />
policy, or civil rights; but God's glory, <strong>and</strong> Messiah's increasing reign; in the promotion<br />
of which, we find no necessity for relinquishing any of our civil rights. We will never<br />
interfere with what is Cresor's.' We will not compromit what is GOD'S.<br />
These objects will appear in detail on the face of our Constitution, <strong>and</strong> in the proceedings,<br />
which accompany this address. They are distributed, at present, between two acting<br />
Boards for Foreign <strong>and</strong> Domestic Missions, having their respective seats at Richmond, Va.,<br />
<strong>and</strong> Marion, Ala. We sympathise with the Macedonian cry from every part of the<br />
heathen world,—with the low moan, for spiritual aid, of the four millions of half stifled<br />
Red Men, our neighbors; with the sons of Ethiopia among us, stretching forth their h<strong>and</strong>s<br />
of supplication for the gospel, to God <strong>and</strong> all his people,—<strong>and</strong> we have shaken ourselves<br />
from the night mare of a <strong>six</strong> years' " strife about words to no profit," for the profit of these<br />
poor, perishing <strong>and</strong> precious souls. Our language to all America, <strong>and</strong> to all Christendom,<br />
if they will hear us, is " come over" <strong>and</strong> for these objects, as ye love souls, <strong>and</strong> the divine<br />
Saviour of souls, l 'help us." We ask help at this juncture for nothing else. We have<br />
had more talk than work about these objects too long. We have waited quite too long for<br />
the more learned <strong>and</strong> gifted, <strong>and</strong> opulent, <strong>and</strong> worthy, to lead our way toward these objects;<br />
•It was not dwelt upon in the Augusta Convention—we do not recollect its being named, but it is too stringent a<br />
fact in the case to be here omitted,—that one of the missionaries, with whom the Acting Board, <strong>and</strong> Board ol'<br />
Managers can sympathise, we presume, <strong>and</strong> whom they sustain (we hope, however, not in this parli, ular act. but<br />
they have in no way openly protested against it)—Brother Mason has actually remitted money to the Vnited<br />
States to aid in assisting afeves to " run away from their master*."' a felony by the Statute Law of Rvcral Slate..

<strong>and</strong> we have shortened debate upon them to get to business. Our eyes <strong>and</strong> hearts arc<br />
turned with feelings of parental fondness to Burmah <strong>and</strong> the Karens; with a zeal in which<br />
we are willing to be counselled by God <strong>and</strong> all considerate men, (but by none else,) to the<br />
continent of Africa, <strong>and</strong> her pernicious fountains of idolatry, oppression <strong>and</strong> blood ; but<br />
yet more, with unutterable hope <strong>and</strong> thankfulness, to China <strong>and</strong> her providentially opened<br />
ports, <strong>and</strong> teeming thirsty millions. Among us, in the South, we have property, which we<br />
will offer to the Lord <strong>and</strong> his cause, in these channels—some prudence with which we would<br />
have our best wisdom f to dwell; <strong>and</strong> professions of a piety which we seek to have increased<br />
<strong>and</strong> purified, like that of the first Baptist churches, when they had " rest; <strong>and</strong> walking in<br />
the fear of the Lord, <strong>and</strong> in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied."<br />
In parting with beloved brethren <strong>and</strong> old co-adjutors in this cause, we could weep, <strong>and</strong><br />
have wept, for ourselves <strong>and</strong> for them; but the season, as well of weeping as of vain jangling,<br />
is, we are constrained to believe, just now past. For years the pressure of men's<br />
h<strong>and</strong>s has been upon us far too heavily. Our brethren have pressed upon every inch of our<br />
privileges <strong>and</strong> our sacred rights—but this shall only urge our gushing souls to yield proportionately<br />
of their renewed efforts to the Lord, to the church universal, <strong>and</strong> to a dying world :<br />
even as water pressed from without rises but the more within. Above all, the mountain<br />
pressure of our obligations to God, even our own God; to Christ <strong>and</strong> to Him crucified ;<br />
<strong>and</strong> to the personal <strong>and</strong> social blessings of the Holy Spirit <strong>and</strong> his influences, shall urge<br />
our little streams of the water of life to flow forth; until every • wilderness <strong>and</strong> desolate<br />
place within our reach (<strong>and</strong> what extent of the world's wilderness wisely considered is not<br />
within our reach?) "shall be glad"—even at this passing calamity of division; <strong>and</strong> the<br />
deserts of unconverted human nature " rejoice <strong>and</strong> blossom as the rose."<br />

THE ROMANCE OF A CENTURY<br />
An Original Story Written for the<br />
CENTENNIAL<br />
of the<br />
Southern Baptist Convention<br />
By<br />
JAMES EDGAR DILLARD<br />
Director o! Promotion, Executive Committee<br />
Southern Baptist Convention<br />
Dedicated to the Co-operative Agencies of Southern Baptists<br />
FOREWORD<br />
The Southern Baptist Convention was organized May 8, 1845, at Augusta,<br />
Ma° r ? a i945 Centennial cele bration was to have been held at Atlanta, Georgia,<br />
As * a J p 5? rt J* this , Centenni al program, a moving picture was to have been<br />
presented the first night. This screen film was to feature certain high lights in<br />
the history of the Convention. This short story constitutes the basis of the<br />
film script.<br />
Physical limitations make it possible to present only a few of the more<br />
important episodes in this century of achievement. It is hoped that the several<br />
boards <strong>and</strong> institutions of the Convention, <strong>and</strong> the state conventions themselves,<br />
will supplement this film with films of their own, thereby further depicting<br />
achievements of our century of organized denominational effort.<br />
Since the, Centennial session of the Convention had to be deferred, it was<br />
Sf°i f? to , e jrt? nd the date for completing the picture until July 1, 1945, hoping<br />
that the additional time would make possible a better presentation of our work.<br />
It is also the plan to have sufficient copies of the film to have it presented at<br />
meetings of district associations, other denominational meetings, <strong>and</strong> in churches<br />
or groups of churches so desiring. The film was produced by Filmcraft Productions,<br />
New York City; the scenario was written by John A. McGee with this<br />
script as a basis.<br />
< In order to meet the need where cinema equipment is not available, this n<br />
tive presentation is published.<br />
Our Baptist Sunday School Board has graciously borne all the expense<br />
of production, <strong>and</strong> has exclusive ownership of the film. All inquiries concerning<br />
the use of the film should be addressed to the Baptist Sunday School Board<br />
161 Eighth Avenue, North, Nashville 3, Tennessee.<br />
We trust this effort will have the blessing of God <strong>and</strong> merit the use <strong>and</strong> approval<br />
of our people as we seek to climax <strong>and</strong> crown a century for Christ.<br />

Of Christ our living King,<br />
Hallelujah for the cross!<br />
Reader:<br />
Who hath believed our report?—ISAIAH 53:1.<br />
The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.—PSALM 126:3.<br />
The world is full of wonder <strong>and</strong> romance:<br />
From the little acorn comes the majestic oak;<br />
From a h<strong>and</strong>ful of wheat comes the golden harvest;<br />
From brown, shriveled bulbs come the fragrant<br />
lilies;<br />
From speckled eggs come the song birds;<br />
From sweet babies in mothers' arms come the saints<br />
<strong>and</strong> sages.<br />
And from the two or three who followed our Lord from the banks of the Jordan<br />
have come a great multitude constituting the largest body of free Christians<br />
in the world.<br />
The history of Baptists has been romantic from its beginning. They have<br />
been misunderstood, misrepresented, <strong>and</strong> persecuted; but they have fought for<br />
their faith <strong>and</strong> finally won for themselves <strong>and</strong> for others freedom of religion<br />
<strong>and</strong> have carried their message to the ends of the world.<br />
Certainly Baptist history did not begin just one <strong>hundred</strong> years ago nor<br />
even one thous<strong>and</strong> years ago. No man can name the time or place this side of<br />
John the Baptist <strong>and</strong> say, "Here is where Baptists began."<br />
Through the Christian centuries there have been groups, sometimes large<br />
sometimes small, who have held views similar to our own. Those we gratefully<br />
acknowledge as spiritual kinsmen.<br />
This romantic story we can tell only in part. We must confine ourselves to<br />
the one <strong>hundred</strong> years since the organization of the Southern Baptist Convention<br />
May 8, 1845.<br />
It was persecution in Europe that drove our Baptist forefathers to America.<br />
And it was persecution in this country that drove Roger Williams <strong>and</strong> his followers<br />
into the wilderness, where they established the first Baptist church in<br />
America in 1639; near this place the organization still worships. They loved<br />
liberty better than life itself.
THE ROMANCE OF A CENTURY 679<br />
THE ROMANCE or BAPTIST BEGINNINGS IN THE SOUTH<br />
T*JL7 a Z Pe ^ C l ion , in , the North that led t0 the organization of the first<br />
Baptist church m the South.<br />
William Screven, a Baptist from Somerset, Engl<strong>and</strong>, settled in Kittery, Maine,<br />
where he worked as a carpenter <strong>and</strong> by personal work won several to Christ<br />
<strong>and</strong> organized a Baptist church in 1682.<br />
Screven was arrested thrown in jail. He was told he would have to cease<br />
preaching or leave the colony. He too loved liberty better than life. His faithful<br />
with h?^ SGe <strong>and</strong> agreed to sel1 their belongings <strong>and</strong> leave the colony<br />
., The5 ^ id 1 so ' <strong>and</strong> after a few weeks settled on Coopers River near the present<br />
city ol Charleston, South Carolina. Here they were joined by Baptists who had<br />
been driven from Engl<strong>and</strong> by persecution, <strong>and</strong> by others from near St. Augustine,<br />
£londa. Together they constituted the first Baptist church in the South, 1683<br />
t rom this church or to this church came many great ministers <strong>and</strong> missionaries,<br />
among them Oliver Hart, Richard Furman, Basil Manly, Sr., E. T. Winkler.<br />
Chorus:<br />
FAITH OF OUR FATHERS<br />
Faith of our fathers! living still<br />
In spite of dungeon, fire, <strong>and</strong> sword;<br />
O how our hearts beat high with joy<br />
Whene'er we hear that glorious word!<br />
Faith of our fathers!,holy faith!<br />
We will be true to thee till death!<br />
THE ROMANCE OF BAPTIST BEGINNINGS IN GEORGIA—1772<br />
The story of the first Baptist church in Georgia is similar <strong>and</strong> equallv<br />
romantic.<br />
• -£ amel ^ Ma r rsha11, a Ba P tist preacher from South Carolina, came into Georgia<br />
in 1772., On Kiokee Creek, near Augusta, Georgia, he preached in the woods to a<br />
few settlers. As he bowed in prayer a constable arrested him <strong>and</strong> cited him to<br />
appear for trial in Augusta the following Monday.<br />
At the trial Marshall was found guilty of preaching the gospel without being<br />
authorized by the established church. He was told to leave at once <strong>and</strong> never to<br />
come into Georgia again as a Baptist preacher.<br />
Marshall's wife addressed the court; "May it please your honor, I would like<br />
to ask if we should obey God or man? God has comm<strong>and</strong>ed us to preach his<br />
gospel, <strong>and</strong> we shall do it. He is calling upon you <strong>and</strong> this constable now to<br />
forsake your sins <strong>and</strong> cry for forgiveness. Will you do it? Now is the time."<br />
So thrilling <strong>and</strong> effective was this appeal that both the judge <strong>and</strong> the constable<br />
were converted. The first church in Georgia was established on the spot<br />
where Marshall was arrested, <strong>and</strong> the constable who made the arrest was baptized<br />
into its fellowship.<br />
It was most fitting <strong>and</strong> significant that our great liberty hymn should have<br />
been written by an American Baptist, S. F. Smith.<br />
Chorus:<br />
AMERICA<br />
My country, 'tis of thee,<br />
Our Sweet fathers' l<strong>and</strong> of God, liberty, to Thee,<br />
Author Of of thee liberty, I sing:<br />
L<strong>and</strong> where To Thee my we fathers sing: died,<br />
. Long L<strong>and</strong> may of the our pilgrim's l<strong>and</strong> be pride, bright<br />
With From Freedom's ev'ry mountain holy light; side<br />
Protect Let us freedom by Thy might, ring!<br />
Great God, our King!
680 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
THE ROMANCE OF ORGANIZATION<br />
FIRST QUARTER CENTURY<br />
Baptist growth in the South was slow. The h<strong>and</strong>icaps <strong>and</strong> hardships were<br />
many <strong>and</strong> great. Their churches were few <strong>and</strong> small <strong>and</strong> far apart. Yet they<br />
did form associations <strong>and</strong> state conventions for fellowship <strong>and</strong> co-operation, <strong>and</strong><br />
in 1814 they joined with their Northern brethren in organizing the General, or<br />
Triennial, Convention for the promotion of foreign missions.<br />
For thirty years they worked together, but differences <strong>and</strong> difficulties arose.<br />
The slavery question became acute; with some it became a question of conscience.<br />
In 1844 a resolution was presented by Richard Fuller <strong>and</strong> adopted by the<br />
Convention to the effect that the slavery question should not enter into the Convention.<br />
But before the next session of the Convention both home <strong>and</strong> foreign<br />
mission boards had acted contrary to this agreement.<br />
Protests from churches, associations, <strong>and</strong> states were made; but no satisfactory<br />
explanations or promises were given. Indeed, it was declared that a separation<br />
between North <strong>and</strong> South would be wise.<br />
So the Virginia Board of Foreign Missions issued a call for a meeting in<br />
Augusta, Georgia, to consider the advisability of organizing a new convention.<br />
On May 8, 1845, some 328 delegates from eight states <strong>and</strong> the District of<br />
Columbia met in the First Baptist Church, Augusta, Georgia, <strong>and</strong> organized the<br />
Southern Baptist Convention.<br />
Dr. W. B. Johnson of South Carolina was elected president. He was the<br />
author of the fitting <strong>and</strong> forceful words appearing in the constitution of both the<br />
Triennial Convention <strong>and</strong> the Southern Baptist Convention as follows: "To elicit,<br />
combine, <strong>and</strong> direct the energies of the whole denomination for the propagation<br />
of the Gospel."<br />
At this time the Foreign Mission Board was established <strong>and</strong> located at Richmond,<br />
Virginia; <strong>and</strong> the Home Mission Board was established <strong>and</strong> located at<br />
Marion, Alabama. (Briefly tell of work <strong>and</strong> growth of these boards.)<br />
From this modest beginning came the great Convention now numbering more<br />
than five million souls, the Centennial of which we now celebrate with thanksgiving.<br />
"Hitherto hath the Lord blessed us."<br />
Chorus:<br />
0 GOD, OUR HELP<br />
0 God, our help in ages past,<br />
Our hope for years to come,<br />
Our shelter from the stormy blast,<br />
And our eternal home!<br />
Under the shadow of Thy throne<br />
Still may we dwell secure;<br />
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,<br />
And our defense is sure.<br />
THE ROMANCE OF SOUTHERN BAPTIST EDUCATION<br />
Education was a serious <strong>and</strong> difficult matter in the early history of Southe<br />
Baptists. Under the influence of Luther Rice <strong>and</strong> other far-seeing statesmen,<br />
several Baptist colleges were organized. But there was no school for the higher<br />
technical training of our preachers.<br />
So in 1859 the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary was organized <strong>and</strong><br />
located at Greenville, South Carolina.<br />
It started with four professors <strong>and</strong> twenty-<strong>six</strong> students. Then the Civil War<br />
came <strong>and</strong> the school was closed. When the war was over, the situation was desperate.<br />
, There was little equipment, no endowment, no money, little credit <strong>and</strong><br />
few students.<br />
The faculty met to consider what was to be done. It was felt the seminary<br />
would have to die. It was then that Dr. John A. Broadus made his famous remark,<br />
"Suppose we quietly agree that the seminary may die, but we'll die first."
THE ROMANCE OF A CENTURY 681<br />
Following the war the seminary opened with seven students. Dr. Broadus<br />
only one student m homiletics, <strong>and</strong> he was a blind mah. To this one blind<br />
man he delivered his famous lectures On the Preparation <strong>and</strong> Delivery of Sermons,<br />
ihese lectures still are used in st<strong>and</strong>ard seminaries of various denominations.<br />
«. Thi V e ? li ] :iary is low located in Louisville, Kentucky. It has about one<br />
thous<strong>and</strong> students <strong>and</strong> assets of $5,000,000. Similar romantic stories might be<br />

* tJoL 1 ?^ 07 ' Y hlch now has approximately one thous<strong>and</strong> students <strong>and</strong><br />
assets of $3,000,000, <strong>and</strong> ISI located in Fort Worth, Texas.<br />
•JPr* B *P^f* Bible Institute,* New Orleans, Louisiana, was founded in 1918,<br />
with Dr. B. H DeMent as president. It now has about three <strong>hundred</strong> students<br />
<strong>and</strong> assets of $500,000.<br />
Southern Baptists now have <strong>six</strong>ty-four educational institutions, with some<br />
twenty-five thous<strong>and</strong> students.<br />
Hitherto hath the Lord helped us. Henceforth we go on in Christian Education.<br />
Chorus:<br />
BREAK THOU THE BREAD<br />
Break Thou the bread of life,<br />
Dear Lord, to me,<br />
As Thou didst break the loaves<br />
Beside the sea;<br />
Beyond the sacred page<br />
I seek Thee, Lord;<br />
My spirit pants for Thee,<br />
O living Word.<br />
Bless Thou the truth, dear Lord,<br />
To me, to me,<br />
As Thou didst bless the bread<br />
By Galilee;<br />
Then shall all bondage cease,<br />
All fetters fall;<br />
And I shall find my peace,<br />
My All in all.<br />
Time <strong>and</strong> space forbid telling of the hardships <strong>and</strong> heroisms of Civil War<br />
<strong>and</strong> Reconstruction days, <strong>and</strong> of dangers at times threatening the very existence<br />
of our Convention work. Suffice to say that under God <strong>and</strong> the wise leadership<br />
of Southern Baptist statesmen the work was held together <strong>and</strong> carried on Among<br />
those great leaders should be mentioned I. T. Tichenor, who became secretary of<br />
the Home Mission Board <strong>and</strong> who did more than any other man to save the<br />
Southern Baptist Convention <strong>and</strong> its work.<br />
SECOND QUARTER<br />
THE ROMANCE OF THE WOMAN'S MISSIONARY UNION<br />
Christian women have ever been loyal <strong>and</strong> helpful to our Lord <strong>and</strong> his cause<br />
What they have done for missions in our denomination is a romantic story.<br />
About 1800 a cripple by the name of Mary <strong>Web</strong>b went about in her wheel<br />
chair organizing women into praying b<strong>and</strong>s <strong>and</strong> children into missionary "cent<br />
societies." Soon many "mite societies" were formed, studying <strong>and</strong> praying <strong>and</strong><br />
giving two cents a week for missions.<br />
The movement early reached the South <strong>and</strong> grew rapidly. Our women wanted<br />
a larger <strong>and</strong> more permanent organization. Many of the brethren opposed the<br />

<strong>and</strong> Convention, Richmond, let the brethren a Virginia. meeting look was There after held
682 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
Dr. F. M. Ellis of Baltimore conducted the devotional <strong>and</strong> called upon the<br />
women to proceed with their organization. Said he, "If you know what, to do, go<br />
ahead <strong>and</strong> do it."<br />
They went ahead. A vote was taken, ten states approved the organization:<br />
Miss M. E. Mcintosh of South Carolina was chosen president; Miss Annie W.<br />
Armstrong of Baltimore was chosen corresponding secretary.<br />
The motto adopteoT was "Go forward," the watchword was "provoke one<br />
another to love <strong>and</strong> good works."<br />
The preamble of the constitution declared: "We the women of the churches<br />
connected with the Southern Baptist Convention desirous of stimulating the<br />
missionary spirit <strong>and</strong> the grace of giving among the women <strong>and</strong> children of<br />
the churches <strong>and</strong> aiding in collecting funds for missionary purposes to be disbursed<br />
by the boards of the Southern Baptist Convention <strong>and</strong> disclaiming all<br />
intention of independent action organize <strong>and</strong> adopt the following constitution.''<br />
The organization so modestly begun has grown until now it has some <strong>forty</strong><br />
thous<strong>and</strong> organizations <strong>and</strong> contributes approximately $6,000,000 annually to missions.<br />
Hitherto hath the Lord blessed us, <strong>and</strong> henceforth we go on to greater<br />
efforts in his name.<br />

THE ROMANCE OF THE SUNDAY SCHOOL BOARD<br />
The matter of providing literature <strong>and</strong> promoting Sunday schools was a<br />
serious <strong>and</strong> formidable one. For years the literature was provided by the<br />
American Baptist Publication Society—<strong>and</strong> a good literature it was Much of<br />
it was prepared by Southern Baptist scholars.<br />
But it was keenly felt that we should do this work ourselves. Several effo<br />
were made but they were not successful.<br />
Then a great pastor had a vision. He saw the establishment of a new board<br />
on a par with the mission boards. This new board was to provide literature<br />
<strong>and</strong> promote the Sunday schools in the South. He prepared resolutions to this<br />
effect <strong>and</strong> published them.<br />
The result was a divided sentiment <strong>and</strong> a debate wide, lengthy, <strong>and</strong> at times<br />
heated. At the Convention in Birmingham in 1891 the resolutions were referred<br />
to a committee of one from each state.<br />
T i? h r S ^T^f ask ?. d Dr - J - M Frost, the writer of the resolution, <strong>and</strong> Dr.<br />
J - B - Gambrell, the leading opponent, to get together <strong>and</strong> try to bring in a report<br />
that would be satisfactory to all. ^<br />
These brethren spent many hours in conference in a hotel room. Finally Gam-<br />

sentence: "We would earnestly urge all brethren to give to this board a fair<br />

This proved to be a happy solution, the Convention adopted it without debate,<br />
<strong>and</strong> the new board began. The work has grown until now it is the pride of all<br />
Southern Baptists <strong>and</strong> one of the wonders of the religious world.<br />

For I forget so soon,<br />
The "early dew" of morning<br />
Has passed away at noon.<br />

THE ROMANCE OF THE BAPTIST BROTHERHOOD<br />
Let it not be thought that our men were indifferent to the work of Christ<br />
1 hey have ever been the main support of our work. In 1907 the Laymen's Missionary<br />
Movement was formed for the promotion of missions to the ends of the<br />
earth. ><br />
In 1926 the name was changed to The Baptist Brotherhood of the South its<br />
objective being the enlarged support of all church <strong>and</strong> Southwide causes This<br />
great <strong>and</strong> growing Brotherhood has headquarters in Memphis, Tennessee, Lawson<br />
H; Cooke, secretary, Hugh F. Latimer, associate.<br />
THIRD QUARTER<br />
THE ROMANCE OF SOUTHERN BAPTIST BENEVOLENCES<br />
Jesus loved little children. He took them in his arms, blessed them, <strong>and</strong> said,<br />
"Suffer the little children to come unto me."<br />
Southern Baptists are caring for needy children through orphanages in<br />
every Southern state. They care for more than three thous<strong>and</strong> of them.<br />
Jesus healed the sick <strong>and</strong> commissioned his followers to do the same. Southern<br />
Baptists have twenty hospitals caring for more than 125,000 patients <strong>and</strong><br />
rendering more than $1,000,000 a year in free loving service.<br />
Jesus cared for his ministering servants. Southern Baptists in 1918 established<br />
the Relief <strong>and</strong> Annuity Board to care for aged <strong>and</strong> needy ministers <strong>and</strong><br />
missionaries <strong>and</strong> their dependent families. Dr. William Lunsford was its first<br />
secretary. This board now has assets of $7,000,000 <strong>and</strong> distributes approximately<br />
$1,000,000 a year to some three thous<strong>and</strong> beneficiaries. Dr. T. J. Watts<br />
is executive secretary.
684 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
Chorus:<br />
COME, YE DISCONSOLATE<br />
Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish;<br />
Come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel;<br />
Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish;<br />
Earth has no sorrow that heav'n cannot heal.<br />
Joy of the desolate, light of the straying,<br />
Hope of the penitent, fadeless <strong>and</strong> pure,<br />
Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying,<br />
"Earth has no sorrow that heav'n cannot cure."<br />
FOURTH QUARTER<br />
THE ROMANCE OF THE 75-MILLION CAMPAIGN<br />
Following World War I, Southern Baptists launched a great program to<br />
strengthen <strong>and</strong> increase all its missionary, educational, <strong>and</strong> benevolent work at<br />
home <strong>and</strong> abroad.<br />
A careful survey of needs was made. It was found that approximately<br />
$75,000,000 would be needed over a period of five years.<br />
Dr. George W. Truett championed the movement, speaking as follows: "Deep<br />
as the tide of my heart's blood is my conviction that this Convention would make<br />
an awful mistake if it did not make a great forward movement just at this time.<br />
I would rather live for the next twenty years than for two <strong>hundred</strong> years at<br />
any other period of the world's history. We are st<strong>and</strong>ing at the crossroads of<br />
all the years <strong>and</strong> on every side swift changes are taking place. We all need to<br />
know as never before that we are world citizens.<br />
"After an experience of <strong>six</strong> months in preaching to soldiers across the water,<br />
I am prepared to say that the only remedy for sin is the gospel of Jesus Christ.<br />
That was all the people wanted, <strong>and</strong> on every side they are rejecting everything<br />
else as spurious since it has failed to meet the deep need of human hearts. What<br />
are seventy-five million dollars for three million Baptists to raise in five years?<br />
To raise it is the challenge of a great program to a great people."<br />
Dr. L. R. Scarborough led the campaign. The denomination responded in<br />
a great way. When the subscriptions were tabulated, they amounted to $92,000,-<br />
000, which was $17,000,000 more than was asked.<br />
Everyone rejoiced. The work of enlargement was begun. New institutions<br />
were built, old ones were enlarged, mission fields were opened, <strong>and</strong> more than<br />
two <strong>hundred</strong> new missionaries were sent out. This was the greatest financial<br />
achievement in Southern Baptist history.<br />
Chorus:<br />
FROM GREENLAND'S ICY MOUNTAINS<br />
From Greenl<strong>and</strong>'s icy mountains,<br />
From India's coral str<strong>and</strong>,<br />
Where Afric's sunny fountains<br />
, Roll down their golden s<strong>and</strong>.<br />
From many an ancient river,<br />
From many a palmy plain,<br />
They call us to deliver<br />
Their l<strong>and</strong> from error's chain.<br />
Waft, waft, ye winds, His story;<br />
And you, ye waters, roll,<br />
Till, like a sea of glory,<br />
It spreads from pole to pole:<br />
Till o'er our ransomed nature<br />
The Lamb for sinners slain,<br />
Redeemer, King, Creator,<br />
In bliss returns to reign.
THE ROMANCE OF A CENTURY 685<br />
THE ROMANCE OF DEBT LIQUIDATION<br />
The 75-Million Campaign subscriptions the first <strong>and</strong> second year were pai<br />
splendidly. Then came hard times—the hardest Southern Baptists ever knew.<br />
At first, decreases in payments; these disturbed our leaders, but they expected<br />
things to get better. They got worse; decreases in receipts meant deficits. Our<br />
agencies had to borrow. Times got still worse; receipts became so small that we<br />
could not meet our obligations <strong>and</strong> carry on our work; <strong>and</strong> to lose our<br />
work would be to lose our income. The result in many cases was defaults. It<br />
reached the point where some of our agencies could not even pay interest upon<br />
loans.<br />
By 1933 Chorus. we had reached the point of desperation. We were $6,500,000 in<br />
debt upon our Southwide causes, <strong>and</strong> our state causes were in the same condition.<br />
GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU<br />
Be not dismayed, whate'er betide,<br />
God will take care of you;<br />
Beneath His wings of love abide,<br />
God will take care of you.<br />
CHORUS<br />
God will take care of you,<br />
Thro' ev'ry day,<br />
O'er all the way;<br />
He will take care of you,<br />
God will take care of you.<br />
No matter what may be the test,<br />
God will take care of you;<br />
Lean, weary one, upon His breast,<br />
God will take care of you.<br />
—Copyright 1933, Hope Pub. Co.<br />
OUT OF THE DEPTHS<br />
Southern Baptists would not give up. -<br />
In 1926 the Co-operative Program was worked out as the most feasible plan<br />
for financing our enterprises..<br />
In 1927 the Executive Committee was re-established. Dr. Austin Crouch was<br />
elected executive secretary. The secretary <strong>and</strong> the committee gave themselves<br />
to a thorough study of the debt situation, how to carry on our work while paying<br />
our debts, <strong>and</strong> how to pay our debts while carrying on our work.<br />
In 1933 the Baptist Hundred Thous<strong>and</strong> Club was started. This plan, devised<br />
by Dr. Frank Tripp, was presented to the Executive Committee of the Convention<br />
<strong>and</strong> to the W.M.U. in Washington, May, 1933. It was discussed all day <strong>and</strong><br />
at 2:00 A.M. the next day the vote was taken. It was unanimous. The Southern<br />
Baptist Convention hilariously adopted it. The Sunday School Board agreed to<br />
pay the cost of promoting it; the missionaries joined. Day began to dawn.<br />
The plan called for a dollar a month "over <strong>and</strong> above" the regular offerings<br />
in the church, this extra dollar to be paid upon the principal of the debt. Dr.<br />
Tripp through the courtesy of his church, acted as Club leader for three years.<br />
He was followed by Dr. J. E. Dillard of Birmingham, Alabama.<br />
A slogan was adopted, "For a Debtless Denomination by 1945."<br />
The receipts increased; all agencies helped.<br />
The slogan was changed to read, "A Debtless Denomination Before 1945."<br />
Again the slogan was changed. This time it was "Debt-Free in '43." All<br />
boards <strong>and</strong> institutions helped in every way possible, the W.M.U. most of all.<br />
•
686 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION<br />
Now hear the news as it came in in 1943:<br />

—CHAS. E. MADDRY, secretary."<br />
"May 12. Home Mission Board has paid the last of its debt.<br />
—J. B. LAWRENCE, secretary."<br />
"August 3. Southern Baptist Hospital out of debt for first time since it was<br />

"December 29. We are debt-free in '43, paid 100 cents on dollar, $38,846.49<br />
balance. Hallelujah.<br />
—J. E. DILLARD."<br />
Chorus:<br />
PRAISE GOD<br />
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;<br />
Praise Him, all creatures here below;<br />
Praise Him above, ye heav'nly host;<br />
Praise Father, Son, <strong>and</strong> Holy Ghost.<br />
THE ROMANCE OF CORONATION<br />
The Southern Baptist Convention is in its Centennial Year. This should be<br />
the most romantic year of the century. None of us ever saw such a day before<br />
<strong>and</strong> none will live long enough to see such another. It ought to be celebrated in<br />
a great way.<br />
Then the need of a broken, bleeding, bludgeoned, <strong>and</strong> bewildered world; an<br />
the pathetic condition of our own mission work in the war-blasted areas- <strong>and</strong><br />
indeed the critical condition of civilization itself—all call for heroic faith <strong>and</strong><br />
sacrificial effort. No ordinary plans <strong>and</strong> methods can suffice for a time like this.<br />
In order to help meet these needs <strong>and</strong> to complete, celebrate, climax, <strong>and</strong> crown<br />
one century of organized Christian service for Christ, <strong>and</strong> to inaugurate <strong>and</strong><br />
launch worthily another century of yet greater devotion <strong>and</strong> effort. Southern<br />
Baptists have devised <strong>and</strong> are promoting a Centennial Crusade.<br />
This Centennial Crusade has <strong>six</strong> great objectives:<br />
1. Evangelism: a million more souls for Christ.<br />
2. Enlistment: a million more souls enlisted in the work of Christ.<br />
3. Education: a million more taught the will <strong>and</strong> way of Christ.<br />
4. Rehabilitation: rebuilding war's wreckage.<br />
5. Stewardship: reviving Bible giving.<br />
6. Benevolences: relieving humanity's hurt.<br />
At least $20,000 000 are needed for the support of our current <strong>and</strong> postwa<br />
inspire our hope <strong>and</strong> strengthen our endeavor. yubiwav<br />
Can we reasonably hope to realize these high aims? Our past victories our<br />

Chorus:<br />
THE ROMANCE OF A CENTURY 687<br />
ALL HAIL THE POWER<br />
All hail the power of Jesus' name!<br />
Let angels prostrate fall;<br />
Bring forth the royal diadem,<br />
And crown Him Lord of all;<br />
Bring forth the royal diadem,<br />
